a	 alright so i guess uh
a	 uh how do you feel about
a	 the locker with the items you wanna go halves
a	 and
b	 well i lost last time so
a	 uh well
b	 i'm not sure
a	 it
b	 um what what do you what do you um
a	 what's important to me
b	 yeah yeah what do you really want
a	 um you know actually i've got my eyes on all of the items i'm not quite sure which direction i wanna go so we'd have to discuss before we uh invest with each other
a	 on a who wants what
a	 so um
a	 it's kinda tough to find out um who who what's more important to you i mean it
b	 what do you think of the other
a	 there's a couple ways there's a couple ways we could do it
a	 i mean we could go halves
a	 and knowing that i don't know what kind of contacts you have but
a	 how we would uh
a	 uh you know resell to get the our profit
a	 you know we can go that way and to do a fifty fifty or is there certain items that you specifically want
a	 well
b	 well i'm not sure what's in there so
a	 we have a painting
b	 yeah
a	 a couple lamps and three crates of records that's what's in there
a	 um
b	 yeah
b	 we haven't really studied them too much but yeah
a	 i'm not quite sure um what
a	 holds the most value
a	 that's why i think it'd be beneficial to go half and half in case
b	 mhm
a	 there is a loss it would be minimized by
a	 us splitting the difference but
a	 how do you think we should split up the items
b	 well
b	 since you came with a truck maybe you should take the
b	 bigger items
b	 i'm kinda just interested in the lamps
a	 the lamps the lamps work for you huh um
a	 so you'd be willing to part uh split the cost of the locker
a	 if you could hold on to the two lamps
a	 and that would mean i would get the painting and the crates of records
b	 yeah i guess yeah
a	 cool
b	 that'd be okay
a	 done deal
b	 okay
a	 simple as that that's exactly what i was hoping for
a	 uh so it seems like uh this is a great arrangement
b	 um
a	 it didn't take ten minutes to figure that one out
b	 okay now what's our game plan if these
b	 what if these other buyers
b	 there you know there's other people that are gonna show up
a	 i don't understand well
b	 so so yeah so should
a	 or yours like how far are we gonna how far are we gonna go with the bidding
b	 well
b	 should we have you make the offer so that he doesn't think that i'm making the offer
a	 well
b	 'cause there's other people that are gonna be there that i know
a	 no that very smart
a	 okay a very good thinking but so you and i both being intelligent and in this business for a while
b	 so um
a	 can work together on the
a	 you know on up bidding up selling or uh overbidding
a	 to deter the other uh uh people that are interested
b	 yeah but we can't go too high
a	 of course not
b	 there's one guy there that yeah
a	 but but we can make it we can make it look like
a	 you and i or or like you know one of us
a	 and maybe scare them off by us having a bidding war
a	 at you know one at a time you know little no way no way i think we need to
b	 you know what i think i should be silent
b	 i think i i think i should be silent xxx
a	 uh uh
b	 because if i if i drive up your bids then
b	 the whole thing goes up
b	 but there's one guy there that wants to outbid me all the time
b	 so i'm gonna have to suggest you make the offer
a	 oh i you know what
a	 that makes sense you might want to
a	 act like you're standoffish at a certain point and then i jump in and scare this guy because he doesn't know me as well
a	 and why why is why am i so interested
b	 yeah
a	 and then if we wanted to get back into it
a	 so be it but keep in mind
a	 we're going fifty fifty
b	 yeah
a	 so our
a	 bid is really half of what
a	 we're doing and if we are confident with the product we're looking for
a	 it should work out in the long run you know what i mean
b	 at what point do we
a	 do we stop
b	 no at what point do we decide that
a	 it
b	 it's too much
a	 well um i would have to uh say
a	 it's tough
a	 it's tough um how well do you know your product is what it comes down to
a	 and with the items that i have
a	 i know that this is
a	 not very uh collectible because it's been mass produced
a	 and it there's could be many prints and i don't think it's as rare
a	 but i am interested in the albums because i
a	 uh have certain buyers
a	 they're always looking for you know
a	 collectible albums
b	 mhm
a	 and uh to me
a	 there's a certain point where i figure
a	 enough's enough and
a	 i guess not knowing you
a	 uh as well as i know myself
a	 you gotta make that decision for your for yourself
a	 so um depending on where the bidding's at
b	 okay
a	 we'd have to we'd have to come to agreement where we're like where hey where i'm in too deep
a	 as a partner
a	 and if i i thought it was valuable enough
a	 we probably wouldn't be partners in the first place
b	 okay so
b	 if i think it's going too high i'll just
a	 we'll do some signals okay
b	 brush my
b	 chin okay
a	 all right and uh likewise i'll scratch the back of my head if i'm like
b	 and uh yeah
a	 uh you're on your own after that
b	 okay
a	 you know what i mean
b	 okay
a	 so if the lamps you want the lamps that bad
a	 this means you buy 'em yourself
b	 okay okay okay it's a deal
a	 no more fifty fifty all right sounds like a plan
b	 okay okay
b	 push the button
a	 that's cool 'cause i wanted the records anyways
a	 so that would've been a great
b	 yeah
a	 yeah i got the records
a	 all three
b	 yeah
a	 and the painting
a	 i made a killing i killed everybody
a	 him too according to my um
a	 little sheet yeah
a	 okay
b	 okay
