The buyer is not willing to give in $1000 for the television set and is negotiating for lesser price. The seller in this case in order to close the deal, makes an offer to the buyer that he is offering a concession especially for the buyer to give him the television set at 950$, and convinces the buyer for accepting the offer and closing the deal.
