Negotiation Scripts for Selling

Copy and paste negotiation scripts for Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, and garage sales.

When someone asks: "What's your lowest?"

Friendly + firm: "Thanks! The price is $X. I can do $Y if you can pick up today."

If you're firm: "I'm staying at $X for now. If it does not sell, I can let you know."

When someone offers too low

"I appreciate the offer. I cannot do $A, but I can meet you at $B if you can come by [time window]."

"That's lower than I can go. If your budget changes, feel free to message me."

No-shows and scheduling

"I'm available at 5:30pm or 7:00pm. Which works best? Please message when you're on the way."

"I had someone lined up earlier. If you can confirm pickup time, it's yours."
