A: 	pretty good
B: 	good
A: 	what is your name ? 
B: 	my name is alex what's yours
A: 	i'm sam
B: 	oh nice to meet you sam
A: 	so
A: 	we gotta split this stuff ? 
B: 	yes
A: 	ok
B: 	yes 
B: 	i think it's i think it's better uh for us to split it in half you know do a fifty fifty
B: 	and that way
A: 	absolutely
B: 	it'll be mutually beneficial
A: 	yeah
A: 	exactly
B: 	well i'm glad you agreed to the split
A: 	so
A: 	let's get down to business
B: 	okay
A: 	what are you interested in ? 
B: 	uh well
B: 	at my antique shop um i sell um ya know i i do sell some objects like some uh
B: 	uh
B: 	dishes and things like that and and and lamps and everything but i do sell uh quite a bit i carry quite a bit of furniture as well what about you in your store
A: 	uh huh
A: 	oh really ? 
B: 	mhm
A: 	well
A: 	all of them are interesting to me
B: 	mhm
B: 	um
B: 	well
B: 	if i can make a suggestion
B: 	sam
A: 	sure
B: 	uh
B: 	let's see now
B: 	we could split this up
B: 	half uh since you're you do like everything here you're interested in everything if we can split it up half way
B: 	uh you can take this nice antique clock from the twenties i know that's from the twenties and these dishes these nice dishes they're from the twenties
B: 	and
B: 	if i could take
B: 	the chairs the furniture since i carry a lot of furniture in my shop
B: 	and then that way
B: 	you would get half and i would get half of what's in these the storage locker what do you think
A: 	well ,  that's an interesting idea . 
A: 	but
A: 	that doesn't feel right to me . 
B: 	okay
B: 	so what what doesn't feel right
A: 	well
A: 	so your top priority is the chairs
A: 	right ? 
B: 	well i carry a lot of furniture i do carry some dishes too
A: 	oh
B: 	um
B: 	but
B: 	since i carry a lot of furniture
B: 	that's why i suggested i take the chairs
B: 	and you said you liked everything that's why i said you could take the other things
A: 	well
A: 	i've got a buyer who's interested in these chairs
B: 	oh do you
A: 	yeah
B: 	oh okay um
B: 	so let's see
B: 	if you'd like um
B: 	here let me tell you how this sounds um
B: 	you wanna kinda switch out like
B: 	maybe you can take a chair
B: 	and i would take one of these dishes
A: 	um
A: 	no ,  that's not gonna work for me . 
B: 	okay what would you like sam
A: 	well
A: 	what do you think about me getting two chairs and the clock and you getting one chair and both plates ? 
A: 	i know you have buyers for these plates since they're in really good condition
A: 	how does that sound to you ? 
B: 	well
B: 	i was kinda hoping to get
B: 	at least two of the chairs since in my shop i carry mostly furniture
B: 	so i was hoping that i mean i don't know if how much the plates mean to you if
B: 	you had
B: 	you could take a plate
B: 	and then i could have
B: 	the two chairs
B: 	since i carry mostly furniture
A: 	well
A: 	the plates are lovely
A: 	but
B: 	mhm
A: 	i have a buyer for the chairs so i know i can definitely make my money's worth
B: 	okay well i have a buyer as well because i
B: 	carry mostly furniture so let's try to figure out how we can
A: 	oh
B: 	come to an arrangement on this
A: 	apparently we want the same thing
B: 	that's what it looks like doesn't it sam
A: 	yeah
B: 	
A: 	it's hard
B: 	it is
A: 	um
B: 	or i mean
B: 	unless you'd also like uh you could have all the dishes you could have everything else and i take the two chairs and then you'd have a chair you'd have these dishes from the twenties and you'd have the antique clock
A: 	huh
A: 	let me see .  .  . 
A: 	so
B: 	no it's not that i can't move the plates but i'd like to be fair
B: 	if i'm gonna take you know what if i'm gonna take the two chairs i'd like to be fair so you can
A: 	yeah
B: 	get a fair share too 'cause we are trying to do a fifty fifty split
B: 	so it makes sense doesn't it
A: 	yeah
A: 	i like fair deals ,  alex
B: 	alright
A: 	um
A: 	but
A: 	so
A: 	you'll probably make most of your profit off of these plates
A: 	you know what i mean ? 
B: 	well
B: 	actually no sam i could um i'd be better off
B: 	like with
B: 	my furniture with my shop and the buyer that i have
B: 	i'd be better off i could with these chairs
B: 	so that's why i was looking at these chairs
A: 	well
A: 	that's true for me too
B: 	okay so you don't just want one chair
B: 	is that what you're saying
A: 	not really . 
B: 	hmm
A: 	well you see i have a buyer right now that's interested in old chairs
A: 	so
B: 	what would you suggest
A: 	um
A: 	what do you think about me getting two chairs and the clock and you getting one chair and both plates ? 
A: 	what do you think ? 
A: 	you'll probably get a good price for the plates
B: 	hmm
B: 	right i mean i
A: 	it's rare to find those plates in such good condition
B: 	right that's that's true
B: 	uh that is that is true they are good plates however
B: 	like i said i carry mostly furniture and i actually have buyers ready for these chairs
B: 	so that's why i was suggesting
A: 	oh
B: 	the chairs and since you were interested in the chairs too
A: 	yeah
B: 	i would say that
A: 	i have a buyer for these chairs too
B: 	right
B: 	i was saying you could take one i could take two and if you wanted to take both of the dishes like you said
B: 	you could get a good price for these dishes
A: 	well ,  let me think about that
B: 	okay
A: 	i'm just trying to think
B: 	mhm take your time sam
A: 	thank you
A: 	um
A: 	alright ,  that works
B: 	okay great well i'm glad we came to an agreement it's a deal sam
A: 	deal
A: 	thanks a lot
