a	hi
b	i i i believe it's reasonable as is
a	how's it going ?
b	okay
a	pretty good
a	what is your name ?
b	uh
b	be easier if we had an even number of
b	even number of cases of records i think
a	i'm sam
b	okay
a	nice to meet you
b	really
b	i think it's very interesting it looks to be from the nineteen twenties
a	so
a	we gotta split this stuff ?
b	i agree
a	alright
a	let's get down to business
b	good
b	glad to hear that
a	well
a	all of them are interesting to me
a	what about you ?
b	true true
b	i think i'm actually fine with that
a	oh , okay
a	well
a	i think you must have a preference for one thing more than the others
b	hmm
b	well
b	i probably can the best i can give you would be
b	one plate a chair and a clock
a	sure
b	hi
a	well um
a	the clock is the last thing i'm concerned about
a	what do you think about the clock ?
b	no problem
a	true
b	i have buyers for those chairs as well
a	yeah
a	how about if you take the clock ?
b	exactly
b	if
b	ya know how would you feel about that
b	that seems kinda fair
a	oh
b	i don't know about that uh
a	well
a	i'm not sure what the value of the clock is
b	alright
b	done deal
a	what are you thinking about the plates ?
b	i agree they're both really good items
a	yeah
b	sure and i do too
a	true
a	the plates are lovely
b	yes
a	how do you feel about the chairs ?
b	yes
a	yeah
a	well
b	nice to meet you as well
a	would you prefer plates over chairs ?
b	goodbye
a	well , that's an interesting idea .
a	but
b	yeah same
a	well
a	what do you think about me getting two chairs and one plate and you getting one chair , one plate , and the clock ?
a	so we'll take three items apiece
b	
b	uh huh
b	no i am not interested in the clock at all that's for sure
a	not really .
b	oh okay
a	well
a	i have a buyer for the chairs so i know i can definitely make my money's worth
b	okay fine let's just say i get the painting if you don't care about the painting you can have one thing of records and i take one lamp
a	oh really ?
a	huh
a	well
a	apparently we want the same thing
b	because
b	you got four things and i'll have what
a	uh
b	right
b	you're welcome
a	well
a	i bet you'd turn a profit on that pretty clock
a	and
a	i bet antique collectors would pay good money for those plates
b	you too
a	so
b	yeah
b	i'm cool with that
b	sounds good
a	no .
a	but
a	i have a buyer for these chairs too
a	i know you have buyers for these plates since they're in really good condition
b	yeah
b	yeah i want music mainly i mean i have a lot of uh
b	actually i have a lot of lamps uh a lot of lamps a lot of paintings uh what we don't have
b	uh yeah is records we don't have a lot of we yeah so that actually would be uh i could live with you uh taking the two lamps
a	well
a	let me think for a second .
b	mm
a	um
a	the chairs are the easiest for me to move
b	so
a	so
a	how about if i take two chairs and the clock and you take one chair and both plates ?
a	i'm sure somebody's willing to pay a lot of money for those
b	yeah of course they do um i mean that's i mean that's why they're there i mean uh they're they're in real good shape from what i can see
a	that doesn't seem fair though !
a	can i take one chair , both plates , and the clock and you take two chairs ?
b	what about the deal doesn't seem good to you
a	it sounds like a win win situation
b	okay
a	but it's about the value , not the number of items
b	i think i could get a pretty good price for the lamps
a	since i'm giving up two chairs and they're what i want most , i need to get one chair , both plates , and the clock
b	uh and i take
a	awesome , let's do it
b	um
b	so i own a
b	antique shop and i think
b	i have a lot of buyers that come in and they buy lamps they love lamps so
a	thank you
b	i'm fine
a	until next time
b	well if
a	goodbye
