A: 	hi i'm sam ,  nice to meet you
B: 	hi sam i'm alex nice to meet you
A: 	how are you doing ? 
B: 	i'm doing well how about yourself
A: 	pretty good
B: 	great to hear
A: 	i really appreciate going fifty fifty with you on clearing out this locker . 
B: 	yeah i think it'd be a good idea i think we
A: 	absolutely
B: 	i think we both can benefit from some of these items
A: 	yeah
A: 	so
A: 	are there certain items that you specifically want ? 
B: 	um
B: 	yeah
A: 	ok
A: 	well
A: 	what are you most interested in ? 
B: 	i'm most interested in the lamps and maybe the records what are you interested in
A: 	oh really ? 
A: 	ok
A: 	well
A: 	i'm interested in lamps and records too
B: 	okay
B: 	so how should we do it
A: 	well
A: 	what do you propose ? 
B: 	um
B: 	so i own a
B: 	antique shop and i think
B: 	i have a lot of buyers that come in and they buy lamps they love lamps so
A: 	oh
B: 	so maybe
B: 	what we could do maybe i could take a lamp and you could take a lamp
A: 	ok
A: 	sounds good
B: 	okay is there a specific lamp you wanted or does it matter what lamp
A: 	not really . 
B: 	okay so we'll we'll do it like this for the lamps i'll take this one and you take that one
A: 	alright
A: 	how would you suggest we handle the records ? 
B: 	do you know how many exactly
B: 	records there are
A: 	well
A: 	i'm not sure .  .  . 
B: 	um so they look
B: 	it looks about maybe there's about thirty in each crate
A: 	sure
B: 	do you
B: 	do you have a lot of buyers or do do you think you could sell the records fast
A: 	well
A: 	yeah
A: 	what about you ? 
B: 	um
B: 	i don't have as many clients that come in and ask for records
B: 	so maybe
B: 	maybe i could take a box a xxx a crate and you could take a two crates
A: 	oh
A: 	well ,  that's an interesting idea . 
B: 	what do you propose
A: 	but
A: 	now that i think about it ,  the lamps might be easier for me to move
A: 	what do you think about me getting one record and both lamps and you getting two records and the painting ? 
B: 	um
A: 	so we'll take three items apiece
A: 	how does that sound to you ? 
B: 	honestly i really wanted to leave this auction with that lamp
B: 	that was my ultimate goal for this auction
A: 	so your top priority is the lamps
B: 	yeah
A: 	um
A: 	so you have less interest in the records
A: 	is that right ? 
B: 	less interest in the records less interest
B: 	in the painting but i really wanted to leave with the lamps what if i
A: 	well
B: 	what if i took both lamps
B: 	and you took
B: 	all the items
B: 	you take three crates of records and the painting
A: 	no ,  that's not gonna work for me . 
B: 	 it's not gonna work
A: 	out of the three i think i'm most interested in the lamps
B: 	so can i ask you a question what are you gonna do with your items
A: 	well
A: 	i really need these lamps because i have a buyer who wants them
A: 	what about you ? 
B: 	do they want both or would they just be happy with one lamp
A: 	yes
B: 	both okay
B: 	okay so
B: 	what if
B: 	you take both lamps
B: 	and i take all the items  all the other items so i take three crates
B: 	of records and i take the painting
A: 	well um
A: 	it's not fair if you get four things
B: 	well it's not a matter of how many items i take it's a matter of
B: 	the value of the items so i feel like your lamps your two lamps are well over the value of what i have in front of me of my four items
A: 	but
B: 	what do you think
A: 	the records are worth good money
B: 	they're worth good money 
A: 	can i take both lamps and the painting and you take all three records ? 
A: 	i think it's a good deal
B: 	mm
B: 	i think it would be fair if you kept a lamp and i kept a lamp i think that's a fifty fifty deal right
A: 	not really . 
B: 	why do you say not really
A: 	well
A: 	i have a buyer who's interested in the lamps
B: 	and do you know how much they're willing to pay for your lamps
A: 	well
A: 	i'm not sure .  .  . 
A: 	but
A: 	um
B: 	see if what i was thinking was maybe
B: 	you keep a lamp i keep a lamp and you would get
B: 	two records
B: 	how about three cases of records and you can keep the
B: 	painting
A: 	awesome ,  let's do it
B: 	let's do it
A: 	deal
B: 	let me think about it i think i want a case of records okay what if i keep a case of records and a lamp and you keep all four items
A: 	well
A: 	that doesn't feel right to me . 
B: 	why not you're getting two case
A: 	i already know someone who i can sell the lamps to
B: 	and i know somebody i can sell the lamps to too
B: 	so i think both of our
B: 	objective for today was to leave with the lamps right
A: 	deal
B: 	so i think it'd be fair if i left with a lamp and you left with a lamp
A: 	well
A: 	i don't want to do that ! 
B: 	why not
A: 	did you want music mainly ? 
B: 	no like i said i ultimately came for a lamp so if i can leave the deal
B: 	with a lamp and a case of records
B: 	i'm good and you have two cases of records and a lamp and a painting
A: 	no ,  that's not gonna work for me . 
B: 	why not
A: 	it looks like we're going after the same items
B: 	we are but i think we could both win in this situation if you leave with a lamp and i leave with a lamp why not
A: 	not really . 
A: 	i really need these lamps because i have a buyer who wants them
B: 	okay so if
B: 	so your issue is the lamp so
B: 	pre
A: 	yes
B: 	previously we were going to make a deal with
B: 	i having a lamp and you having a lamp right
B: 	so now you want both lamps
A: 	yes
B: 	so what if i gave you a case of records back and i just keep a lamp
A: 	well
A: 	let me think for a second . 
B: 	sure
A: 	um
B: 	i think you're winning in your situation
B: 	ya know ultimately i did want other items but i'm just leaving with a lamp
B: 	and you're leaving with a lamp three cases of records
B: 	and a painting
A: 	ok
A: 	deal
B: 	deal
A: 	thank you
B: 	alright thank you
A: 	it's a pleasure doing business with you
B: 	it's a pleasure hopefully we can do business again in the future
A: 	yeah
A: 	goodbye
B: 	bye thank you
