a	ok
b	okay
a	what are you interested in ?
b	okay that's fine
a	oh really ?
b	yeah
a	ok
a	so what you care about most is the chairs
b	glad to meet you sam
a	um
a	well
a	all of them are interesting to me
b	i
b	the same um
b	let me ask you this um what is um what are you trying to get the most is it the records or the lamps
a	what are you thinking about the plates ?
b	me too i think we can really come to a good agreement on this
a	yeah
a	are you interested in the clock ?
b	okay thank you
a	oh
a	well
a	the clock is the last thing i'm concerned about
b	yes
b	are you
a	yeah
a	um
a	what do you propose we do ?
b	great
b	um now let's
a	no , that's not gonna work for me .
b	okay and since the painting's left i'll take the painting too since you don't want it i can
a	how about if i take two chairs and one plate and you take one chair , one plate , and the clock ?
a	how does that sound to you ?
b	so
a	why is that ?
b	well so are the lamps too they're worth something too
a	yeah
b	i don't know about that uh
a	um
a	well
a	what would you suggest ?
b	yeah they're um
b	they're
b	xxx
b	they're interesting to me too um
b	um
b	i'm thinking
b	the records are
b	are interesting to me
b	most
a	i don't want to do that !
a	that doesn't work for me because i really want the chairs more than anything
a	how about if i take two chairs and the clock and you take one chair and both plates ?
a	i know you have buyers for these plates since they're in really good condition
a	i'm sure somebody's willing to pay a lot of money for those
b	you think so
b	would you think it was a a good deal if it were reversed
a	well
b	okay
b	not a problem
a	the plates are lovely
a	but
a	i have a buyer for the chairs so i know i can definitely make my money's worth
b	my name's alex dotson
a	oh really ?
b	hello
a	well
a	it looks like we're going after the same items
b	goodbye
a	um
b	because
b	you got four things and i'll have what
a	same here
a	well
a	that's true for me too
a	it's pretty obvious that we both want the chairs
b	um
b	i think we could
b	easily split up the lamps if you want
a	but
a	well you see i have a buyer right now that's interested in old chairs
b	hmm
a	so
a	um
a	well
a	that one's kinda hard
b	but what if we take a box and a half
a	well
a	how do you feel about the plates ?
b	mm
b	i'm not sure
a	but
a	um
a	i want the chairs too
b	goodbye
a	well
a	it's better to figure out a way to go in fifty fifty instead of having a bidding war
b	
b	um
b	take uh the lamps and the poster
b	i'll take the records
a	well
a	um
a	let me think for a second .
b	um
b	no
b	i disagree with that
b	i don't have any buyers for the plates i have buyers for the chairs
a	it's hard
a	the chairs are worth good money
a	uh
a	uh
a	okay , let's do that
b	like you i don't really care about the painting that much
a	deal
b	i'm looking to receive both of them
a	thank you very much
b	goodbye
a	goodbye
b	mm
b	i do too
