a	 sam sheets
b	 damon smith how you doing
a	 i'm doing wonderful wonderful
b	 alright so we both paid fifty percent in this so uh there's six items so i mean
a	 so obviously fifty three on one side three of the other
a	 yeah
b	 yeah it could be like that um
b	 so i mean we should just like what do you
b	 i'll just grab one thing that i want off the top you know what i mean so let me just grab i'm gonna take uh one of these lamps because i got somebody that really wants that so
a	 mhm okay
a	 yeah i'll be more than happy to take
b	 and then you can get one
a	 one of these albums right here i don't have a problem with that at all
b	 alright now 
a	 now here i'll i'll be honest with you though since we paid fifty fifty
b	 mhm
a	 then obviously we should get three items apiece correct
b	 yeah
a	 so me personally i'd i'd have to ask you what really do you want out of the stuff that we got let's let's be honest
b	 i mean it's just like i mean eh i mean there's different buyers for different things you know what i mean i mean
a	 but i mean point blank i mean there's xxx
b	 for me i would really i i'll be honest with you i'll i'll i'll grab one of these records man
b	 i mean that's there's two i mean there's three of 'em i mean you got one so i'm gonna grab one right now
a	 okay
b	 and go ahead and get that
b	 but what about you i mean it's the same thing you know i mean
b	 i mean you got some records but i mean xxx there's a painting there and there's the other lamp
a	 e i i probably would take the other records
b	 you'll take the other records
a	 i'm uh it'd be be be perfectly honest with you i'm not really big on on on the the art stuff yeah
b	 okay
a	 most most in music than anything else
b	 that's interesting that's interesting
b	 but i do i do got some people that appreciate these lamps so if i get both of 'em then that'll be good and that'd be my three right there actually
b	 so i mean i'ma just go ahead and grab that and then the art one i mean
b	 i mean you could 
b	 i feel kinda bad though because i've got both of these lamps
b	 and that and then i mean the painting
b	 that's not even an original you know i'm saying that's been manufactured in multiples so i mean
b	 but i mean it it's part of your three you got two of the records and i do have a buyer for these records too
a	 see here's my here
b	 so i'd be willing gosh
b	 i'll be i'll be willing to let go of this
a	 here here here's my problem to be perfectly honest with you okay
b	 mhm
a	 eh to be perfectly honest i can definitely get rid of all the music
b	 yeah
a	 i'm gonna have a hell of a time trying to get rid of anything else
a	 you see what i'm saying
b	 yeah
b	 mhm
a	 so i mean if you were to if we were gonna just keep it like this
b	 yeah
a	 right i probably i probably wouldn't have a problem the really only thing that you have that i would xxx want would be the other would be the other record album
b	 right right right
a	 you get what i'm saying 'cause i can definitely get rid of all of this stuff it's not gonna cost me any eh anything out of pocket
b	 yeah right
b	 right right right right
a	 even though it's probably gonna cost 'cause i don't really have any buyers that deal with any pictures or any art deco stuff
b	 right right right right so i mean like the thing is like with that picture i have no market for that at all man
a	 but
b	 the records i got a really good music guy he really wants music i got that and i also have some people that want these lamps too
b	 you know what i mean but not as much as the music guy but the art one i'm just i i can't i can't even get that but these two these can definitely go this is definitely gonna sell though
a	 yeah see here's here
b	 so that's my thing i
a	 here's my problem okay so so
b	 i'm gonna keep that definitely
a	 yeah so here here's here's what i'm seeing then alright here's where i'm seeing
b	 mhm
a	 eh eh basically the way things are right now probably great
b	 yeah
a	 because from what you're saying you can definitely get rid of that
b	 yeah definitely get rid of these
a	 right you can definitely get rid of those two
a	 and you got somebody for that right
b	 yeah
b	 yeah no i definitely got a guy who's a music lover so
a	 and see for me i can definitely get rid of these but it's gonna take me forever to get rid of this
b	 mhm
a	 now yeah eh eh gonna take me for but you know what though uh uh
b	 that's what i'm saying
a	 it do you i'm thinking because you do have somebody that deals with with art deco that you probably wouldn't have a harder time getting rid of the painting as well
b	 yeah
b	 it was just because like i said we seen the painting in the description that it's just it's not even an original it's just a copy mass produced
b	 the guy that i want who loves the lamps are these are originals so these are definitely going off the shelves i mean
a	 mhm
b	 but that is a copy it's gonna sell eventually to somebody but not really
b	 i can't i can't get rid of it i don't think i i don't think i have a market for it
a	 okay so let's do this alright alright well the two items that we definitely know we can get rid of get definitely know let's put those to the side i definitely know i can get rid of these two what do you definitely know that you can get rid of
b	 yeah yeah
b	 yeah okay
b	 yeah
b	 well this one's already locked this guy's been bothering me all day i'm definitely getting that
a	 alright
b	 and then maybe one of these lamps um i think the twin one is more more harder to harder to make so i can definitely get rid of this
b	 and then this is up for negotiation you know what i mean i'll put i'll put it right here 'cause it's in negotiation
a	 tell you what i'm willing to switch this for that
b	 mm
a	 i definitely cannot i mean i can get rid of this but i can't get rid of this
b	 i don't i don't know man i just don't have the i don't have the market i mean i just don't see i mean 'cause if i could sell these two as a set you know what i'm saying that's more money for me but if i can't get rid of this and that in one thing you know what i mean
b	 um
a	 if uh if eh i i i wouldn't have a problem if it was if i had but i i have no one
b	 mhm right
a	 it's just not what i do you know
b	 yeah
a	 you you you've seen me at auctions you you get what i'm saying that's me i'm music i mean take a look at me that's that's what i'm involved in so and obviously we bought this storage thing
b	 yeah yeah
b	 yeah right
a	 in order to make the most money out of what we're doing right
b	 right right right
a	 so right now as it looks to me at least two our items are definitely getting we're gonna make money on this you're gonna make money on that right
b	 yeah right right right right
a	 okay so
b	 so what's the draw to lamps then if you're a music guy i mean 'cause i have i mean the guy who i like i mean he's always been about you know vintage music he's always been about spending records so
b	 he told me to get as many records as i possibly can the next guy i got he definitely loves art deco but he only likes original copies that's why i got the lamps for him
a	 mhm
b	 you know i mean so both of these i mean i could walk away set right now with these two
b	 i really wanna please the music guy because he really likes i mean spending he always comes to me as his personal guy pays me enough to get it so
a	 mhm
b	 i would rather get another record for for a lamp or possibly even
b	 hmm
a	 yeah here's my problem though here here's the problem i have alright here here's the problem i have xxx
a	 you're trying to
b	 mhm
a	 i've got a buyer specifically for this
b	 right right
a	 okay specifically but i don't have any buyers for this so if i take it
a	 i uh it's like i gave up my definite sale for my oh damn how do i sell it you get what i'm saying
b	 yeah yeah
a	 eh and i really don't have any buyer for this at all period i i don't i don't i'm not in the painting business you get where i'm but
b	 right right right right 
a	 what i'm saying is since you already tell are telling me that you have a buyer for basically everything
b	 yeah right 
a	 and it seems to me that you still wanna negotiate and stuff the the only thing that eh that's for me that's optional is to is to trade this against against that 'cause that's really the only thing that you wanna you wanna put out
b	 but i mean but but i'm saying but i mean you're both you're saying that you don't have a market for that neither do i so you're getting rid of something that you don't need
b	 you know what i mean in in order to get something that i can definitely sell i mean that's almost taking a that's a loss
a	 i'm only i'm only think i'm only saying that
a	 i'm only saying that because it's it it appears to me that you deal in the market
b	 right
a	 you see what i'm saying you deal in a fashional or this type i i'm that's not what i do i told you i i'm just a music guy that's all i do
b	 right
a	 it's all i do but you're you're an individual who who's got a little bit more xxx you're a little more multifaceted
b	 right
a	 'cause you've got somebody for music right but you've also telling me that you've already got somebody to do this here am i right
b	 right i mean i have a i have a guy who's in definitely into art deco but i mean like i say he's only wants authentic authentic you know first print things and this is what this is so
b	 i mean right now like i said i could walk away with this and get the profit from this too
a	 okay so here's
b	 and i'm a i'm good with that you know what i'm saying
a	 we went fifty we went fifty fifty on it right we went fifty so basically at this stage you're already ahead of the game is what i'm get
b	 right right right right
a	 so if i if i if i were to part with any of these because i've got nobody for this it makes no sense for me to trade this at all you get what i'm see here's my money
b	 right mhm
a	 here's my money
b	 right
a	 this isn't my money
b	 right
b	 right
a	 that's all your money is what you're saying to me you get what i'm saying but what i'm saying to you is that since you're you're you're telling me that you deal in this type of stuff
b	 exactly mhm
a	 eh eh and you're looking to negotiate and it is
a	 a pretty decent one of a kind painting i'm figuring that you can obviously get rid of this
a	 right you can obviously get rid of this and i'm willing to i mean whereas i would probably be trying to negotiate that
b	 right
a	 which you notice i haven't even asked about that 'cause that's really what i would probably want
b	 right
a	 well i'm willing to work with you and say what the heck you know what whichever one of those you don't want i'm willing to switch this and i'll take one of those and we'll just call it a day
b	 yeah but see the thing is like i said i mean there's little value in that i mean i would i would be taking a loss the only the only real reason way i could come away good is if
b	 i would have to i would have to i would have to have that and that for one of these man because
a	 no here's here
a	 but then i i it wouldn't be fifty fifty you'd have four item
b	 right but i mean it's the potential value that you can get from it not just because all these items aren't worth the same price you know what i mean each item is worth a different price and i have a buyer who's willing to pay good money for this
b	 you know what i mean so if i can get another one i'd be willing to let go the lamps for another crate you know what i mean
a	 ah yeah
b	 because it's a higher value to me like obviously
b	 i mean these lamps are valuable but i can get more
b	 if i let go if i can get a a a a record i believe but
b	 for as far as the art there's no way there's just no there's no nobody's buying that
a	 yeah i yeah i'm i'm a i'm see here and here here's my thing again here here's the thing i said i know that i can get rid of this stuff 'cause it's what i do
b	 yeah
a	 it's this this is what i do what'd i say i'm the music man right
b	 right mhm
a	 this the music man but basically what i'm looking at here is that is that we had all six things on the table correct and you actually picked first
b	 right right right right 
a	 so you had all opportunity to take both of these
b	 right right right
a	 you get what i'm saying but you chose those two things so i'm thinking in my mind see me basically for me if i'm a guy
b	 mhm
a	 who's shopping and i'm looking for the best value what am i gonna get i'm gonna get the first two things that are the most value to me
b	 mhm right right
a	 so obviously the most value to you had to be those two things 'cause you didn't take these two things
b	 well i mean because i had
a	 so for me these are obviously the two most valuable for me
b	 mhm
a	 but in the spirit of of fair play since you are we are looking to negotiate
b	 mhm mhm
a	 okay i'm saying you know what i've got my money i know he got his money 'cause he's too sharp a guy he's not we've been doing this for too long
b	 right yeah
b	 yeah
a	 you're not gonna pick the two things that are not you're too sharp so what i'm gonna go ahead and do is if he if he wants to trade i'll go ahead and trade him this item here since he's willing to trade that item there that's that's what i'm doing but right now as it stands as it stands right now here's what we got
b	 mhm yeah
b	 mhm
a	 here's what we actually got right now you've got pretty much you can probably get quite a bit of money for what you got there you wouldn't a grabbed it had you not get it okay
b	 yeah
b	 yeah i mean that's what i needed you know
a	 okay
a	 so whatever you're gonna get from that is probably gonna be as much as what i'm gonna get for this you get what i'm saying
b	 mhm
a	 i don't know i don't know what you're gonna get for that
b	 yeah
a	 do you get what i'm saying but i know that you're gonna get i know you're gonna get the most for that
b	 and see that's the wild card mhm
a	 you get what i'm saying so this is why i'm saying if you're if you wanna negotiate then i'm willing to switch this with you otherwise i say we just you take what you got i take what i got
b	 mhm
a	 and we call it a fair trade 'cause 'cause we spent fifty fifty and right now both of us you know i'll probably have to
b	 yeah
b	 'cause right now i mean it's just not looking like i can get anything for the art you know what i'm saying definitely not what i would get for one of these lamps i mean just one of these lamps would easily more than double pay for that art so i mean there's no
b	 i don't i don't i don't it's not as as appealing to me to let go of one of these you know what i'm saying for the art you know what i mean
a	 mhm
b	 because especially if i sell 'em as a pair i can get more so i mean it's just
a	 so what i so what what i am willing to do with ya alright here's what i'm willing to do with ya alright
b	 okay
a	 i'd be willing to switch this for you with that
b	 mm no
a	 and when hold let me finish let me finish didn't finish upon liquidation of this item
b	 mhm
a	 i'm willing to give you a small percentage of what i get off of this since i got the guy that's gonna pay me for this is gonna pay me an astronomical sum of money
b	 right
a	 you get what i'm saying an astronomical sum of money for the entire collection i'm willing to give you what what do you what would you consider a fair percentage
b	 see see see see 
b	 see the the the thing see
b	 see the thing is the thing is is that this guy who's gonna buy this he's been a loyal customer for a long time you know what i mean and it's not only just a percentage of this sale but also future sales as he goes on throughout his career he personally gets from me
a	 ha got a better one for ya
b	 so this is locked i cannot get rid of this this is my
a	 got a better got a
a	 got a better one for ya got a better one for you you say your guy's a vintage guy and loves doing vintage stuff right
b	 yeah yeah
a	 so again same deal same deal okay same deal alright here here's what we're doing
b	 mhm
a	 since i'm telling you i i definitely can get top dollar for this right
b	 right so
a	 definitely i'll get as probably as much
b	 yeah
a	 i'm still willing to trade you this for that but here's the difference
b	 there's no way
a	 no let me finish you don't let me finish here's the difference here's the difference since you got a guy for that right
b	 okay mhm
a	 i'm willing to go ahead and approach that guy and when and sell him that and also see
b	 mhm
a	 sell 'em these thing as a package now let me finish not only am i gonna not
b	 but see but then but then but the thing is now now you're becoming the guy that i'm supposed to be you know i'm saying i'm the uh antique guy that gives him what he needs now if you come in with two of those now that looks make makes me look bad and now i lose a xxx another customer
a	 no no i
a	 no no not not at all not at all because this is what we got going here here's what we going 'cause you can explain to him exactly what i'm saying to you look
b	 see
a	 i met the guy we went fifty fifty at the auction he had these two i only had that one he the we were at a standstill there was no way possible that the both of us were gonna be willing to give it up i mean that's where we're at we're at a block but i am
b	 mhm right
a	 to take all three right but what i make on that
a	 right
b	 right
a	 i'm gonna let you have that
b	 but then once again i mean it still it's it's it comes to me being not the guy who's delivering
a	 now here's here plus
a	 but here's here's what here's here's here's what's what's happening right
b	 mhm
a	 it's not so much that you're not the guy delivering you know why because you're introducing me to him but and and let me finish 
b	 right exactly and that's potential business that i'm losing see that's that's just bad business that's bad business man
a	 let yeah me finish it's potential business
a	 it's potential 
a	 it's potential business if i'm gonna be a guy if i'm gonna always come to your guy and sell but i'm not gonna do that
b	 right right
a	 what i am gonna do is what i if you're willing to do the only thing that i'm willing to do at this particular time is that i'm willing to approach him for the whole set
a	 you get what i'm and once this deal with you with you there i'm not even saying doing it with you there i will never sell anything to this client ever again
b	 yeah
b	 see i like to be one on one with my customers we always have a personal rapport
a	 oh i guess the
b	 uh that's it
a	 that's it that was pretty good eh
b	 yeah yeah
