basic
You

Hi! I saw the signs for your garage sale. Mind if I take a look?

嗨!我看到车库拍卖的标志了。可以看看吗?

Go right ahead! Everything is priced. Furniture is in the garage, clothes are on the racks, and small items are on the tables.

随便看!都标了价。家具在车库里,衣服在架子上,小件在桌上。

You

How much for this bookshelf? The tag says $40.

这个书架多少钱?标签上写40美元。

That's a solid wood bookshelf — we paid $200 for it new. $40 is already a great price. But I could do $35 if you're buying more than one item.

这是实木书架——新的花了200美元。40美元已经很划算了。不过如果你多买几样,35美元也行。

You

I'm also interested in this lamp and the set of plates. What would you take for everything?

我还想要这个台灯和这套盘子。全部一起多少钱?

台灯10美元,盘子15美元。全部加起来55美元怎么样?

Would you take $45 for the lot?

全部45美元行吗?

Meet me in the middle — $50 and you've got a deal.

Deal! Do you have change for a hundred?

Let me check... yes, here's $50 back. Need help loading the bookshelf into your car?

我看看……有的,找你50美元。需要帮忙把书架搬到车里吗?

Hey, I saw your post on Nextdoor about the garage sale. You mentioned baby stuff — do you still have the stroller?
