Hi, I'm interested in buying your item. I'd like to go no higher than $1900 if possible
That's too low for me.  I can budge a little, 2500 is my floor, which is 10% lower than asking.
Yikes, that's still pretty high. can you go any lower?
No, not at the current market.  I'm firm with the rate, but I can half the deposit for you if you agree to it.
