a	 okay
b	 so i don't know if this is cheating
a	 mm
b	 but
b	 it says that i received an inside tip that there's another storage locker that has lots of records in it
a	 okay okay
b	 um and that's totally what uh i'm into into the records
a	 okay
b	 hum
b	 i'd be and it says that i'm supposed to just kind of keep that to myself as a possible
b	 uh
b	 piece and that i can use it as a negotiating piece if i want to later
a	 mhm
b	 but i'm willing to put this out here now
a	 okay on a similiar note
a	 i too am equally interested in the music
a	 owning a music store and a consignment and a
a	 i can move the products quicker more efficiently through my business end of it you know
b	 okay
a	 so that would be more appealing for me as as as a buyer slash seller because i can
a	 have that product uh moved and and
a	 also probably um at the same time
a	 receive a uh better resale price because i have the buyers already in my pocket you know
b	 so i this is the part that i don't exactly understand maybe i miss read it
a	 mm okay
b	 but it's my understanding that these particular records that i saw here
a	 mm
b	 i feel as though i have a buyer for it that'd be interested in these records
a	 okay
b	 i don't know what records are gonna be in the other storage locker there might be records that my buyer might want but i know for a fact they're right here
a	 alright okay
a	 well what if i told you i had a specific buyer that was a
a	 beatles
a	 specifically a beatles collector and a fan that was willing to uh
b	 then we're then we're kind of in a similar spot
a	 yeah
b	 because what i was going to say is i would take these records and offer to split the storage locker i was supposed to keep just for myself
a	 mm okay
b	 um
b	 but if you also are interested in those beatles we're in a tough spot
a	 alright
a	 right okay so to to to no to get off that 
b	 um
b	 also just also i'm an antiques guy and you're a you're a music guy right okay so um
a	 sure mhm
a	 so what if i did this what if i went ahead and i let you have
a	 this valuable lamps that are you know middle of the road value in comparison to the painting and the records
a	 in exchange for two of the records and then we can
a	 we can mutually split the profit on the remaining
a	 crate of records
b	 what do you mean
a	 if you're an antiques collector i will forgo these for you
b	 mhm mhm
a	 in lieu of two of these that i can move
a	 guaranteed and then we we can split the profit on the final one
a	 and also on the painting
b	 so you would want two of the records i mean alright so like i said so i have a dude who wants what i think i i don't know also i'm not like a music person for just so uh i don't know like what like what the angle is i i guess like they're beatles records or the minutemen or whatever
a	 mm right
a	 okay sure
a	 mhm sure
b	 so um
b	 and i do have the other storage locker so that makes me feel as though i have a good chance of finding records that maybe could match with my buyer but that's not something you're interested you don't want a piece of that other locker
a	 no no
b	 oh
a	 'cause i got a for sure thing with these so i know that that's a for sure sale
a	 for my
b	 alright so just also just to put on the table too antique wise these lamps are like okay i mean i can make a couple bucks on them
a	 mhm mhm
a	 okay
b	 don't want anything to do with that print um
a	 
a	 i'll take the print uh if you don't i'll take it i mean i if there's any sort of value attached to it um
b	 yeah i mean you could you could i have no
a	 i'll hold i'd be willing to hold on to it in you know storage in lieu of uh waiting for a buyer to come along
a	 and if we were to do that
b	 so that's
a	 we would need to continue to split the cost for the rent of the of the of the locker fee so we could also
a	 take that
a	 that rental fee and and split that off the
a	 resale price what we get off the of the last crate of records
b	 so that's it's now there's something about me that makes me feel as though these records are even more valuable to you than i can even imagine 'cause if you're willing to forgo like a piece of a whole other storage locker of records
a	 i'm willing to
a	 well i'm willing to split the profit with one in lieu of
a	 the two beatles records and
b	 but then you don't want anything to do with another storage locker that's supposedly packed with records
a	 i can't go on supposedly you know i'm a for sure thing
a	 yeah
b	 okay
a	 yeah
b	 that's weird
a	 it's a gamble
b	 why why why would you not want that
b	 yeah but it also feels as though then these got to be so valuable to you and that makes me feel as though
a	 you know
b	 i should negotiate harder for them
b	 um
a	 valuable more so to my collector than that than they are to myself because yeah because i'm a music guy
b	 just 'cause you're a music guy right like
a	 you know
b	 see like that's you're right
a	 that's my area of expertise
b	 hm
b	 what does this mean what does this mean
a	 it's what i deal in
b	 right
a	 
b	 so that's like red flagging me
b	 why don't you want records
a	 well let's go back off that for a second we'll get back to that but uh on the painting itself i know there's there's some sort of value it's the lesser of all of our items
a	 um
b	 okay
a	 you being an antiques dealer well 
b	 i got an eye for this thing i don't want it i mean like i feel as though it mean i
a	 okay
a	 really you're willing to forgo even though there's some sort of value attached to it
b	 i
b	 i'll take it if you don't want it but i okay so then honestly like that's the last thing i'm concerned about um the lamps yeah i could probably move them
a	 oh no i want it yeah
a	 yeah yeah okay
a	 okay
b	 um and i almost feel like there's this this sinister buyer that you have is the same guy that must be mine
a	 
a	 my sinister buyer could be paul mccartney
a	 you know
b	 hm
a	 i can't disclose who it is but it let's say it's a celebrity uh
b	 what does this mean no no no of course what does this mean what does this mean
a	 musician slash collector
b	 hm
a	 it's not unlike
a	 it's very unlikely that a lot of artist don't go out and purchase their own albums i've i've i've known it to be uh a fact
b	 so i feel like we're at a standstill because the only thing that doesn't seem to be at a standstill is the painting that you that you seem to want even though like
a	 mm right okay
b	 uh
b	 i don't know so i imagine you might like it or want it because i'm telling you as an antiques dealer
a	 well
a	 let's see what this let's see what this looks like if we were to physically put these in
a	 okay you you said you have another locker correct that you want to bid on
b	 yes and that i was told i could use it as a negotiating point with you
a	 okay but
b	 it but but that i should try to keep that whole locker to myself if i could if i could trick you into getting the records
a	 mm mhm
b	 then i wouldn't even need to bring up the locker
a	 okay
b	 but because i figure you're well anyway um
b	 right and that does mean there's a chance i could find those records but i also don't know
a	 here's the issue i have the issue i have is okay we're talking about another locker i haven't seen i don't know what's guaranteed to me it's a gamble you know i'm looking at what's on the table what we have now is a for sure thing now that would bring
b	 enough about yeah yeah yeah yeah
b	 i'm waiting on setup you're right 'cause i maybe part of the trick is
a	 well it it's not that and you might be correct i'm saying it it it now we're going to have
a	 two separate lockers to be concerned about as far as
a	 as as bidding on and also possibly maintaing in the future to hold uh whatever items
a	 are there so we're still going to have to split that cost in the future now on two separate units
a	 you see what i'm saying
b	 yeah
a	 so that's going to take away from whatever resale value we get off the uh items that we can physically know we have in our possession now
a	 and you said you can move the antiques i can move the records
b	 yeah but just money wise like i i would get
a	 and
a	 well money wise like i said we still have the third the third crate which we could split equally fifty fifty
b	 but you would have two crates and i would have one 'cause you want the beatles records
a	 'cause i can move them you can move these
b	 so according to
a	 it would only make sense for us to move what we know we can move
a	 mhm
b	 sure and so my weirdo buyer
b	 wants these exact records
a	 okay let me tell you this if if i here here's here's here's a good offer for you
b	 yeah
a	 i'll take the two records i'll move those you can move these
a	 and i'll let you keep that in my storage unit i'll continue to pay rent on it until you find a buyer for that since that's more in your area of expertise
b	 um
a	 and then you can keep all the profit on the painting
b	 are you saying you can't move the lamps at all like they would have no value to you
a	 no i specifically deal in music
b	 oh
b	 so normally normally well here's the thing normally i wouldn't give a crap about the music but i have an actual buyer who wants it so otherwise otherwise i'd be happy to take the deal this is a weird
a	 that's a great deal for you right
a	 mhm mhm
a	 sure
b	 scenario
a	 but my buyer's a little more prominent in in the music field and and willing to uh
a	 maybe a collector of this specific item that is willing to pay
a	 a better you know
a	 or pay a better price i think for this
b	 i mean maybe right like you know wait if i maybe my weirdo buyer
a	 well
a	 i'm going on maybe on what's what's the other locker too right sure sure
b	 no no no no no no you're you're right
a	 so there it is um
b	 uh
b	 then i would do this
a	 i can move these you can move these and then
a	 i'll give you the price of whatever you get off this i'll hold it for you until you get a buyer and then we'd still get to split the final case so everybody wins
b	 i would be willing to split the whole thing half half have fifty fifty
a	 mhm well what about this
a	 what about this
b	 i'll take half the records
a	 okay
b	 you take half the records you're disappointing your buyer a little i'm disappointing my buyer a little
a	 i can't see how we could split up half when there's three crates there's still going to be that remaining crate
a	 what about this
b	 can we split a crate i mean like just in terms of
a	 here's a here's a propostion for you okay
a	 i i'll take the two crates to move
b	 okay good
a	 you take the lamps
a	 i'll hold the painting until we find a seller on that and we can agree to terms on that later or i'll just give you the profit on that
a	 and now this third crate we sell it we split the profit
a	 and i can use the profit from this crate
a	 to bid
a	 with you on that other storage unit and whatever records might possibly be in there
b	 you want to split the profits on that one
a	 mhm
a	 but the money that i get on my end i'll use to help bid on your other locker
b	 fair enough the only thing is i feel bad
b	 doing that to the client like if i have a chance to give him something
a	 mhm
b	 i'll give him something
b	 and like i would go half but
a	 can't please all the people all the time you know
b	 no and that's why that's why i guess like i feel bad about this particular thing 'cause it seems like it's a weird case where like there's i don't i imagine i don't get like i'll say it as alex i don't get buyers like this all the time
a	 yeah yeah
a	 wasn't there a beatles song we we don't can't always get what we want or is that rollings stones
a	 okay well
b	 i think that is one of those guys
a	 ironically i mean hopefully there's some rolling stones albums in the mix or locker
b	 what i'm saying though is if we if we agree to split
a	 yeah
a	 okay
b	 that last crate
b	 i'll also go halfsies with the lamps i'll i'll i'll if you don't want you feel that you can't you can't sell them
a	 mm
b	 i'll sell them i'll split the profits with you
a	 okay mhm
b	 agree to that and then whatever you want to do with that whoever feels as though they could sell uh sell it more
a	 sure mhm
b	 you take it and we just go halves across the whole thing
a	 here here's my issue
a	 the profits of the lamps is not going to be equal to the profit i can make off the records having that high valued client of mine
b	 this is making me feel like we totally have the same client because like as an antique guy that's true for me too like i think i think outside of uh
a	 mm 
a	 sure sure
b	 outside of the antique world it would seem as though this are like more valuable but in my world actually
a	 mm
b	 uh because of this buyer and the and the money he's throwing at me
a	 okay
b	 i'll make more money off that so literally what you'd be asking me to do is like lose money
a	 okay
a	 alright i'll tell you what i'll do okay
a	 you seem pretty adamant to have this other buyer as well too and we both don't want to disagree our our
a	 third party
b	 right
a	 okay
b	 right
a	 so you being an antique dealer
a	 and you saying you would split the profit okay what if
b	 i'm even cutting you in on this yeah just because i know how much you have a buyer you don't want to disappoint i have a buyer i don't want to disappoint
a	 mm
b	 so if we go halves i'll even go half i so we went half on the locker
a	 mm
b	 we'll go half the whole freaking way i'd be willing to do that it's not ideal my ideal situation would be these over here
a	 mhm okay
a	 sure well that would be everybody’s ideal situation
b	 these over here and then that over there right right i know i know sorry it's being silly i'm being silly but like that would be ideal and so and i can tell too for you like that would be a pretty ideal thing for you
a	 yeah
a	 well absolutely i'm with you no i'm with you i'm with you no i'm with you
a	 sure absolutely yeah
a	 but that wouldn't be a negotiation on you know for either of us being partners in this in this in this unit
a	 so
a	 not being an antiques dealer i'll tell you what
b	 mhm
a	 i know you're you have that bargain you're interested i'll forgo the two beatles for you to give to your guy so he's happy and maybe we can keep him
a	 um on retainer for the future uh uh unit that we might have
a	 i can still make my guy happy with this one remaining crate
a	 i get the profits of these if i can sell them
a	 and there was no interest in in this right
b	 you could sell them yeah
a	 so
b	 why would you want those lamps
a	 because i can get buyers i mean that's not it's not it's not my my field of expertise but if i had the unit
b	 for lamps
b	 i'm telling you i can sell them in my place and i'll go halves with you but you but you're saying you want the lamps to sell out of your record shop
a	 yeah because i can still get a buyer uh inevitably
a	 you know it's just a matter of time so i can hold them in the unit and i'll pay the rent out of my pocket for that
a	 mm
b	 that's peculiar to me hm
b	 wait a second i thought you wanted the beatles records
a	 well i'm trying to make a compromise with you to keep your guy happy i still get a crate to keep my guy happy in lieu of the lamps
a	 i'll keep those until i get a buyer
a	 and the painting we could still keep that until uh we get some somebody in the future
a	 uh i know you didn't have no initial interest in that so i will i'll be willing to take that off our hands just to clear up the unit
a	 um
b	 here's what i'm thinking so i'm thinking about this buyer right and you said that that's someone you don't want to disappoint i need some of that
a	 mhm okay
a	 well we both don't want to disappoint our buyers yeah
b	 exactly so i'm visualizing visualizing like a lot of ways we're negotiating over like is the disappointment of the buyer
a	 okay okay
b	 and i don't you and your buyer to be totally disappointed i don't
a	 ooh
b	 what's that mean
a	 no i think our times up
b	 okay so i don't want i
a	 so let's let's come to an agreement here uh how do we stop this
a	 i don't know i think we went over um
a	 so we have a deal
b	 no 
b	 i don't understand why you'd want to why you wouldn't want to split the disappointment of your buyer
a	 i think i think we're going to be here all night is that okay 
a	 can i order room service or anything
b	 
a	 so
b	 yeah
b	 are we done like it's supposed to be
a	 we still haven't came to
b	 what happens if we don't let me just ask something like what happens when we don't come to an agreement then we both have no points or no lottery tickets in the does is that how it works
a	 an agreement right
a	 yeah wow
a	 deal
b	 i want to go halves why don't you want to go halves go cut straight through the whole thing
a	 i'm giving you the sweest slice of the cake right there your guy's getting both beatle albums
b	 and i don't i i don't want to disappoint your your buyer
a	 i think he's going to be satisfied not happy but satisfied
b	 i think i'm going to stick to going halves the whole way i yeah that's what that's what feels right to me
a	 mm
b	 because i don't want to disappoint your guy i don't want to disappoint my guy all the way
b	 but what i won't be able to do is cut you into the storage the additional storage fees
a	 we can't go halves 'cause we don't have an equal amount to split
b	 why not i'm imagining this as an actual crate of records that we'll be able to split
a	 i'm looking at it as it's as a whole
b	 um i don't know if we can ask for are we allowed to ask for clarity on this
b	 i'm just if it's a crate of records yeah
a	 oh 
b	 oh come on it's a crate of records no
b	 i'm just trying to play it real i'm alex from alex's antiques if you could take a crate of records you could split a crate of records
a	 it's like you you you know when you get a divorce and then the wife gets half you don't take a chainsaw and cut the couch down the middle and give her half
b	 i know actually someone who did do that it did not work out well
a	 yeah that doesn't work out very well
a	 no it requires a lot of duck tape and time
a	 tell you what
b	 i don't think i can i don't think i can do this it doesn't feel right to me it doesn't feel right
a	 tell you what be
a	 if if if it if it will sweeten the deal for you being an antique store
a	 i'll throw back in the painting
b	 uh huh
a	 no
b	 it doesn't matter to me at all
a	 it still has a designated value
b	 not to me
a	 not high it's not one of your higher end
a	 you know items but
b	 i'm so puzzled by this why wouldn't you want to go halfsies oh right 'cause you don't think there is a halfsie
a	 mhm 
b	 um three six so i guess
a	 deal
b	 no
a	 no
b	 definitely not a deal
a	 sure
b	 five more minutes okay cool
a	 okay wrap it up okay okay
a	 okay
b	 try to wrap it up sure sure
a	 so we know right off the bat we can't we can't split anything equal
b	 you know what screw it i'll i'll do this
a	 okay deal
b	 alright deal hey hey um
