a	 how's it going it's been a while
b	 hi how you doing
a	 sam
b	 yup
b	 sam alex alright so
a	 it's been a while huh
b	 it has been a while
a	 yeah
b	 you been doing
a	 i'm doing pretty good how's how's business for you
b	 pretty good it's good it's good it's uh
b	 so you're into more of the uh art deco or
a	 oh
b	 what are you looking more into
a	 i'm right now just just looking to make a profit
a	 yeah
b	 making a profit alright
a	 get the best deal i can
b	 so
a	 but you know buying this uh
a	 whole container it seems like it's gonna be uh
a	 you know a lot of money i was thinking maybe uh
a	 if you're interested we could uh go fifty fifty on it
b	 fifty fifty yeah we can well we can we can negotiate see which one
b	 make sure there's a fifty fifty deal but yeah we can split it try to split the profit
a	 uh alright
a	 'cause with all these other buyers you know
a	 they'll probably bid up
b	 yeah it's better if we team up that what we can
a	 yeah
b	 cut our expenses and make more
a	 but looking at this it's just got a lot of different stuff in here
a	 what are you looking for
b	 yeah we do we do
b	 you know i do like those
b	 i do like those uh the the music the uh those records those are
a	 mhm
b	 records are good so are those lamps those lamps are pretty valuable as well
a	 yeah i like the whole thing
a	 but it's it'd be hard to kinda split everything up huh
b	 yeah so what
b	 let's see so i see you were eyeing those and those what about that art what about that uh
a	 uh the painting
b	 the painting
a	 not so interested in
b	 less interest in the painting
a	 yeah
b	 hmm
a	 what are you most interested in
b	 i'd say i'm most interested in the records that's
a	 records mm
a	 do you wanna split
b	 you know if we can split those records well there's three so we have to figure out the best way to split those records but
a	 mm
b	 those lamps are pretty valuable as well
a	 mhm
a	 yeah i'd say that the lamps are pretty valuable
a	 it's two of those
b	 it's two of those and it's three of these
a	 yeah
b	 and we got that one art piece
b	 hmm
b	 okay out of out of all three of these which ones are you most interested in in the records out of the records
a	 hmm i'd say well
a	 you know some of each one one of them actually
a	 no i mean no
b	 one of 'em just one
a	 all all
a	 out of all three of 'em all three of 'em
a	 you know we we could go
a	 like this like this
b	 well that thing i mean that the the art piece that's 
a	 no value
b	 that's of no value to me that's
a	 mm
b	 no i don't i do not need that
b	 if anything if anything with the art piece you can just
b	 we can just whatever whatever whatever this the selling uh value of that we can just split that thing that that art piece
a	 mm
b	 whatever whatever whatever we can sell it for we'll sell that one or whatever that
b	 profit is we'll split that one that's
b	 it's not really anything what i'm eyeing right now
a	 so if it was just like that irregardless of this
a	 which one would look more attractive
b	 what do you mean out of these two piles
a	 yeah
b	 i would say this one is more attractive
a	 really
b	 yes
a	 so what if i put this together
b	 if you put that together like that
a	 yeah
b	 so you're saying is
b	 if i take these two records you can have that art piece
a	 well you said it was no value
b	 yeah yeah so you can
b	 alright that's fine that's if if i have those two
a	 yeah
b	 and you can have that that's
a	 mm
b	 that's fine for me that's
a	 that's what you're looking for huh
b	 i can do that
b	 yeah that's exactly what i'm looking for
a	 mm uh interesting
a	 'cause i
a	 that's what i'm interested in as well but i'd also want
a	 one of these too
b	 so you take you would take that pile
a	 yeah
b	 hmm i don't think i can just take just those two those
b	 that wouldn't that wouldn't be
b	 no i don't think i would make i i wouldn't make much if i just had those
a	 okay so what would you be looking for
b	 if i can take two records just two records that that would be
a	 mm
b	 that'll be perfect
a	 two records huh remember we gotta
a	 we wanna have a low bid or
a	 put in as the least money as possible into this
b	 right
a	 so we gotta come to some kind of agreement
a	 what if it was like this what if we did this again
a	 you'd still rather have that than this
b	 yeah i would i would rather have this than to have that pile right there
a	 mm but you don't care about this
b	 that that art piece no that art piece you can you you can take it in as a freebie with that
a	 hmm interesting
b	 how do you what what's your feeling on that art piece right there
a	 ah on what
a	 the the painting
b	 yeah the painting
a	 well it's a pretty common painting you know
a	 there's not much of a profit in it
b	 yeah i know yeah it's
a	 yeah
b	 it's not it's not a very rare item
a	 so
a	 i mean that that's to me is something you just throw in to the deal
b	 exactly right
a	 i mean it's not gonna be a deal breaker whether it goes here
a	 or here
b	 mhm
a	 you know mm
a	 so if if we were gonna go into this right now
a	 if i mm
a	 if i were leaning this way if we were gonna split the bid
a	 i would say sixty forty sixty
b	 you would you'd say that's forty sixty for you
a	 yeah this would be sixty percent of the bid this would be forty percent of the bid
b	 okay if we wanna get to fifty fifty
a	 yeah i mean if you want it
a	 it'd be sixty percent of the bid
b	 oh you're so you're saying if you have this deal i would have to pay sixty percent of the bid
a	 right
b	 can but can we can do that or do we have to get the fifty fifty
a	 so if it you know can we do what
b	 can you can you do that spitting forty sixty or do you need to get to fifty fifty
a	 it's a negotiation anything goes yeah
b	 right right alright so let's see here forty sixty
b	 hmm so if you had
a	 i mean i mean you know
a	 we we wanna maximize
a	 our profits
b	 oh of course
a	 yeah seems like
a	 you think you're gonna maximize your profits
a	 here right
b	 with those
b	 mhm
b	 so if you have these you would you would want sixty percent
b	 you you would get sixty percent
b	 pay sixty percent if you had those two
a	 yeah perhaps
a	 yeah i'm asking you if you want that
a	 that's
b	 yeah let me think if sixty
a	 yeah
b	 hmm
b	 yeah i can do that for sixty for sixty percent
a	 you'll buy you'll buy that for sixty percent of the bid
a	 alright
b	 yeah
a	 we do it
b	 so is that is that a deal
a	 yup
b	 forty sixty alright perfect
a	 okay
b	 so
b	 we're done
a	 yup
