‼️Haggling means asking for a lower price!‼️
So, Rob paid £600 in the end. And here are the 'haggling expressions' that Finn talked about:
👉🏻1. 'Do' = sell
When we are haggling, instead of using the verb sell, we often use do. We use it with can/can't and could/couldn't:
I can probably do it for about £650.
Can't you do it a bit cheaper?
Could you do it for 500?
You couldn't do it for £550?
👉🏻2. To 'knock off'
This phrasal verb means 'lower the price'.
Can you knock off another £30?
I could knock off £10 for you.
👉🏻3. When you've got a deal: 'Go on then'
To show that the price is agreed, it sounds very natural in spoken English for the buyer and/or the seller to say: Go on then.
Buyer: £600?
Seller: Go on then.
Buyer: I'll give you £40 for it.
Seller: Go on then.

Selena Gomez -The heart wants what it wants-
You got me sipping on something
I can't compare to nothing
I've ever known, I'm hoping
That after this fever I'll survive
I know I'm acting a bit crazy
Strung out, a little bit hazy
Hand over heart, I'm praying
That I'm gonna make it out alive
1 ( The bed's getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call
And I'll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice 'cause I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care
There's a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants ) 1
You got me scattered in pieces
Shining like stars and screaming
Lighting me up like Venus
But then you disappear and make me wait
And every second's like torture
Hell over trip, no more so
Finding a way to let go
Baby, baby, no I can't escape
The bed's getting cold and you're not here
The future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call
And I'll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice 'cause I won't hear
You might be right but I don't care
There's a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants
This is a modern fairy tale
No happy endings
No wind in our sails
But I can't imagine a life without
Breathless moments
Breaking me down, down, down, down
The heart wants what it wants, baby
It wants what it wants, baby
It wants what it wants
