negotiation

you throw a few things onto
craig's list
to get them out of the house
and to make a few bucks
in the process.
the calls come in. the texts.
the emails.
can you go lower?
when can I pick them up.
how old are those shoes.
those pants?
that mattress?
those black socks, do they
have any holes
in them?
is that toothbrush purple
or blue,
it's hard to tell from
the photo?
what's your best price
on that chipped
coffee mug?
