b	 oh i'm alex you remember me from last time
a	 yes
b	 yeah
a	 yes
b	 and uh uh i forget your name
a	 uh my name eh i go by mister sheets
b	 mister sheets that right i'm ss yeah how could i forget i mean we've we've been through this a number of times
a	 mister sheets many times
b	 so but we we've agreed to uh
b	 to go fifty fifty on buying the locker
a	 absolutely
b	 but
b	 mm dividing the spoils whatever they may happen to be
a	 mm
b	 um guess we have to kinda decide how we're gonna split this stuff up
a	 oh it's perfectly understandable is there anything in particular that you have your mind set on
b	 well let's see i don't know there several things that
b	 could be of some use maybe the records could be
b	 uh of some use to some of my clients and uh
b	 i don't know lot of people like art
b	 uh my wife likes lamps
a	 is there anything in particular that you like though
b	 well yeah um
a	 hmm
b	 i'm kind of a vinyl freak you know
b	 so uh i'd like to have the the the records or some of them
b	 but what what about you what what do you fancy
a	 well the artwork is always nice of course and uh i agree vinyl is is good too there's quite a market for it but uh
b	 mm
a	 looking at some of these lamps have some interesting value in those lamps as well
b	 i agree i agree
a	 so right now it's uh it's really just a matter of how much you think would be a a fair amount for you and
a	 of course what you think uh the value of it would be for the dollar that we're going to be spending for it
b	 right
b	 uh unfortunately of course we can't really
b	 estimate without going into these boxes
b	 uh but we can tell more by looking at those lamps i suppose if you know anything about those uh things
b	 um i don't claim to be an expert on period lamps from the twenties but um
a	 mm
b	 it's hard to estimate the value uh of each box of these records
a	 yes
b	 um
b	 if if uh if you'd like to
a	 hmm
b	 presume that they're about equal
b	 that's fine but i don't know
a	 well i notice you have your eye on the records you've uh you mentioned it quite a few times now so
b	 yeah
a	 we'll have to get to that when we get to that i think we should probably start with some of the smaller items since uh neither one of us has mentioned the artwork
b	 yeah yeah
a	 do you feel like uh the artwork is something that you're looking for
a	 not really
b	 not really
b	 mm mm
a	 so you wouldn't mind if i took the artwork
b	 well no i i can
b	 yeah give a little take a little yeah yeah yeah you
a	 okay
a	 okay so you're you're taking no value from the artwork at all
b	 if if you'd like to have the
b	 mm yeah uh i will i will leave those to you the artwork to you
a	 alright certainly
a	 alright we'll just put the artwork to the side since that's not really our major concern right now our major concern are these items together now
b	 yeah right
b	 now
a	 of course we still have things that we have to xxx negotiate and discuss between these three well these these five items
b	 right
b	 i'm not an expert on tiffany lamps or whatever these are so i don't know one
b	 eh we we ss we spotted these two particular lamps maybe that's all the lamps they are
a	 right
b	 uh 
b	 quite frankly i don't know which one's worth more
a	 mm
b	 but um
a	 well if you were to look at the two of them is there anything that uh stands out that makes you think that you might want one more than the other
b	 um
b	 just for my preference if i if i were gonna keep it at home of course i intend to sell it
a	 yes
b	 but the one that appeals to me more is the is the double one the way it's made
a	 you're looking for a double
b	 yeah
a	 are you certain about that
b	 i'm pretty certain about that and uh and not knowing if then maybe this is some
b	 strange rare thing that's worth more but i just like the looks of the double one better
a	 well if the value of it is uh is the issue
b	 but the value yeah that's yeah hard for me to say
a	 it's again we're coming down to value so what is it exactly that uh we're hoping to gain from this if we're going to do a fair division of the two
b	 right yeah
a	 so we have two lamps but both of equal value well of different value which we really can't determine just at this point so you're going mostly on aesthetic pleasing
b	 right yeah
a	 viewpoint so you're saying that you prefer this lamp over this one
a	 or
b	 i think so
a	 you do
b	 i do mhm
a	 okay so you don't want this this lamp
b	 um
b	 i would prefer this one if i had a choice between the two
a	 if you had the two okay alright well let's
b	 and of course i could give
b	 for more of the records i could just let you have all of the the artwork and the the lamp uh uh all the lamps
a	 well the lamps are good too but of course we do have these records
b	 mhm
a	 now my major issue with the records is that i'm a beatles fan and uh out of two of these there's beatles on there that means that we
a	 the minute man i we we don't know what's inside here we don't know what we're looking at here
a	 but my major issue is
b	 right
a	 vinyls and beatles my collection is very very very lacking in that and that's really what i'm looking for right now are the beatles
b	 mhm
a	 now i understand uh there could be beatles in the the middle one but
a	 i'm willing to take my chances and bet that at least two of the records that i'm looking for are right in front of me which is really what it is that i'm i'm after at the moment
b	 well put
a	 so uh if you're willing to negotiate with me at least and uh allow me the beatles i'll willing to give you the lamp that you wish and at least one of the record sets
b	 well uh what if i took
b	 the uh uh uh give you the the beatles box
a	 well they both have the beatles that's the issue we have
b	 oh they do oh i thought this was the only one with beatles
a	 yeah we have a vintage yellow submarines and we also have hard day's night
a	 both of those are classic beatles i i i'm such a huge fan of them it's just it's hard to to pass them by i understand uh
b	 yeah so
a	 i understand at least we have one set of records here i don't i usually you know collectors they love to put beatles together that's
b	 yeah
a	 that's the major issue so for me it's it's the beatles but of course the lamps come in handy too
b	 yeah well
b	 if if i if i see to you that the um
b	 the beatles box the main beatles box
b	 if i take these two and give you all the lamps and these what what would you think of that
a	 what would you think if i took both beatles boxes added the two lamps
a	 would you consider this a fair deal
b	 mm
b	 uh
a	 you have the lamps which you wanted plus the bonus lamp plus you'll also have
a	 a box full of records and we don't know what's in those records the major reason i'm after these is because we have beatles in the front
b	 right right you 'cause you you know what you're getting in that case
a	 and that's my major concern
a	 exactly i'm all i'm looking for is beatles with this it could be anything you could have anything in there it's a random grab bag and of course you're getting the two lamps as well which we both know have value to it
b	 mhm
b	 yeah make some some profit on it anyway
a	 so we can balance it out
b	 yeah
b	 okay i uh
b	 fool and his money are soon parted but we've already split that fifty fifty so
a	 certainly
b	 um
b	 okay xxx i
a	 certainly
b	 i can live with that can you
a	 we have a deal
b	 uh so we have a deal
a	 thank you
b	 nice seeing ya mister sheets
a	 nice to see you too sir
