A: 	hi
B: 	hi
A: 	how's it going ? 
B: 	good how are you
A: 	pretty good
A: 	what is your name ? 
B: 	alex
B: 	what is your name
A: 	i'm sam
B: 	hi sam
A: 	i really appreciate going fifty fifty with you on clearing out this locker . 
B: 	i agree
A: 	let's get down to business
B: 	k
A: 	what are you most interested in ? 
B: 	well um
B: 	pretty much all of them how about you
A: 	oh really ? 
A: 	ok
A: 	well
B: 	okay
A: 	which of these items would be your first choice ? 
B: 	i'm liking the um
B: 	the plates
B: 	how about you
A: 	ok
A: 	well
A: 	i like the plates and the chairs
A: 	what do you think about the clock ? 
B: 	the clock is
B: 	okay
B: 	what do you how do you feel about the clock
A: 	well
A: 	the clock is the last thing i'm concerned about
B: 	okay
A: 	so the plates are most important for you ? 
B: 	not necessarily no
A: 	oh ,  okay
A: 	which of these items are you most leaning towards ? 
B: 	actually
B: 	the chairs
A: 	oh
A: 	ok
A: 	so
A: 	what do you propose ? 
B: 	i'm gonna ask you that question
A: 	huh
A: 	well
A: 	let me think for a second . 
A: 	i'm not sure .  .  . 
B: 	which 
B: 	between the plates and the chairs which are you most interested in
A: 	um
A: 	the plates are lovely
A: 	but
A: 	i'm most interested in the chairs
A: 	what about you ? 
B: 	i'm most interested in the chairs as well
A: 	oh
A: 	well
A: 	apparently we want the same thing
B: 	right
A: 	so
A: 	what do you propose we do ? 
B: 	i'm thinking
B: 	um what are your suggestions
A: 	uh
A: 	i'd be willing to make an even split with you ,  where we each get three items
B: 	what
A: 	how about if i take two chairs and one plate and you take one chair ,  one plate ,  and the clock ? 
A: 	so we'll take three items apiece
B: 	i don't necessarily want the clock at all
A: 	oh really ? 
B: 	right no
A: 	well
A: 	huh
A: 	what do you wanna do ? 
B: 	well
B: 	i feel
B: 	what would be your alternative option if we weren't to go fifty fifty
A: 	um
A: 	i'm not sure .  .  . 
A: 	what about you ? 
B: 	i can go either way
B: 	so
A: 	oh
B: 	what would be
A: 	well
B: 	what would be the
B: 	best option for you
A: 	it's better to figure out a way to go in fifty fifty instead of having a bidding war
B: 	to
B: 	okay
B: 	so
B: 	i suggest if i took
B: 	two of the chairs
B: 	which are good value however the plates are of
B: 	really good value as well so if you i would give you the plates
B: 	so i wouldn't take any of the plates i would give you
B: 	one of the chairs
B: 	and
B: 	in regards to the clock
B: 	that's up in the air
B: 	but it really has
B: 	i guess low value between us both
A: 	well ,  that's an interesting idea . 
A: 	let me see .  .  . 
A: 	um
A: 	that doesn't work for me because i really want the chairs more than anything
A: 	what do you think about me getting two chairs and the clock and you getting one chair and both plates ? 
B: 	no
A: 	you'll probably get a good price for the plates
B: 	i'm
B: 	i'm most interested in the chairs
A: 	oh
B: 	as well
A: 	well
B: 	but you had originally said you were looking at the plates as well so
A: 	yeah
B: 	if i if i'm taking
A: 	i have a buyer for the chairs so i know i can definitely make my money's worth
B: 	i agree and i feel the same however i was gonna go ahead and take the clock since you weren't interested in it
B: 	for instead of two chairs you're gonna get a great value with the plates along with the chair
B: 	so i was going to take two chairs which offsets
B: 	the
B: 	price of the plates
B: 	for
B: 	xxx
B: 	instead of taking all three chairs and i was gonna xxx go on
B: 	going to head  going ahead and getting the clock which you do not want
A: 	um
A: 	i'm not sure i follow you
A: 	do you want to move over the items that you want ? 
B: 	xxx
B: 	yes i i i would agree to take the clock since the clock is of no value to you and i think
B: 	since
B: 	it would be fair if i'm taking the clock which has
B: 	very
B: 	no value at all that i would get two chairs
B: 	in
B: 	lieu of that since you're getting three valuable items
B: 	altogether i'm getting two valuable items
B: 	and one
B: 	no
B: 	of no value
A: 	so
A: 	are you suggesting i get one chair and both plates and you get two chairs and the clock ? 
B: 	yes
A: 	well
B: 	okay
A: 	um
A: 	how about this ? 
A: 	um
A: 	i could take one chair ,  both plates ,  and the clock and you could take two chairs
A: 	i think that's pretty fair
B: 	you said you did not want the clock though
A: 	well
A: 	i probably could find a buyer for the clock
B: 	you originally did not want the clock so you're you're essentially
B: 	getting four items and i'm getting two
B: 	is that fair to you
A: 	but it's about the value ,  not the number of items
A: 	since i'm giving up two chairs and they're what i want most ,  i need to get one chair ,  both plates ,  and the clock
B: 	well you
B: 	you 
B: 	actually
B: 	actually
B: 	actually
B: 	you had originally said
B: 	that it would be fair to split the items
B: 	three each
B: 	that's what you originally said
A: 	but
B: 	but
A: 	but
B: 	okay
B: 	but you also are
B: 	interested in the plates i'm willing to
B: 	not take the plates
B: 	in lieu of two chairs
B: 	and the clock
B: 	which
B: 	really has hardly any value to it
B: 	so you are still getting a high
A: 	that doesn't seem fair though ! 
B: 	it is very fair
B: 	'cause we you're getting a value you're getting a value for each of the items that you have
A: 	not really . 
B: 	i'm getting a value for two of the items i have
B: 	and the one i may not get any value of it whatsoever
A: 	well
A: 	if the clock isn't valuable to you ,  why do you want to take it ? 
B: 	well why would you wanna take it
B: 	you originally said you didn't wanna take it
A: 	well
A: 	the clock has the lowest value
A: 	but
A: 	the clock might sell
A: 	well you're getting two chairs and they're the most valuable ,  so i should get one chair ,  both plates ,  and the clock
B: 	i highly doubt it would sell
B: 	actually the equivalent of the two
B: 	actually the equivalent
B: 	of
B: 	the two plates would equal the value of one additional chair
A: 	but you're getting two chairs and they're worth the most ,  so it's fair if i get one chair ,  both plates ,  and the clock
B: 	the plates would be equivalent
B: 	to a whole other chair
B: 	is what i'm saying
B: 	so then you would essentially have the value of two chairs because you're getting both
A: 	well
B: 	plates
A: 	um
A: 	how many customers do you have for that clock ? 
B: 	i would say maybe about
B: 	five or six
A: 	oh really ? 
B: 	yeah
A: 	huh
A: 	well
A: 	i want to try to be as fair as possible
A: 	um
A: 	if i could choose three items ,  i would take two chairs and the clock and you would take one chair and both plates
B: 	that doesn't work for me
A: 	well
A: 	i don't know
B: 	as i stated before
B: 	there is
B: 	excellent value in the plates
B: 	if you're getting
B: 	both
B: 	plates that's equivalent
B: 	to
B: 	another chair
A: 	but
A: 	i've got a buyer who's interested in these chairs
B: 	so as do i
B: 	a few of them
A: 	i don't have anyone to sell the plates to
B: 	actually
B: 	you also were interested in the plates i assure you those plates are you're gonna sell those plates
A: 	well you're getting two chairs and they're the most valuable ,  so i should get one chair ,  both plates ,  and the clock
B: 	like i said before the value of the plates would be equivalent to a chair
B: 	and
B: 	how many buyers do you have for the clock
A: 	i probably could find a buyer for the clock
B: 	probably could but the chances of you actually
B: 	getting a buyer for the clock are slimmer than what i have
A: 	not really . 
A: 	there's a market for the clock
B: 	yeah 
B: 	but i already have buyers that would be interested in the clock
B: 	you said you may or may not
A: 	huh
A: 	um
A: 	let me think for a second . 
A: 	i'm just trying to think
A: 	so
B: 	no
A: 	um
A: 	what can i do to make this offer more reasonable ? 
B: 	i i i believe it's reasonable as is
A: 	um
A: 	we're almost out of time
B: 	you said yourself it would be more
B: 	valuable if we did it fifty fifty 
B: 	fifty rather than
B: 	doing it each as a open buyer so i believe this is a good deal for both of us
A: 	um
A: 	ok
A: 	that'll work
B: 	we have a deal
A: 	deal
B: 	deal
A: 	until next time
B: 	k
A: 	goodbye
B: 	goodbye
