b	uh
a	how's it going ?
b	xxx
b	i have the same predicament
a	pretty good
a	what is your name ?
b	that is fifty fifty after all
a	i'm sam
b	i'll take the records
a	nice to meet you
b	my name is alex nice to meet you
a	so
b	i see
b	i don't know
b	um
b	no but you don't like the
b	the records huh
b	i mean not the records i mean i'm sorry the painting
a	well
a	um
a	i run an antique store
a	what about you ?
b	
b	this is interesting
a	oh really ?
b	same here
a	well
a	you know , actually i've got my eyes on all of the items
b	hello
b	how are you
a	which of these items would be your first choice ?
b	oh maybe we can try let's have a go at it
a	yes
a	absolutely
b	you're killing me here why don't you just then take the plates now you've got almost everything
a	true
b	alright
a	well
a	i'm not sure . . .
a	all of them are interesting to me
b	hmm i do too
b	well
a	well um
a	let me see . . .
a	do you have any first ideas ?
b	oh i guess we can maybe split
b	split 'em up
b	um
b	do you like
a	yeah
b	um
b	mostly
b	yeah
b	just probably the the chairs uh the plates as well but i guess we could figure out a way to split
b	depending on what you're interested in so
a	um
a	i'd be willing to make an even split with you , where we each get three items
b	one chair
b	and
b	what is that what is that in the middle
a	well
b	the plates
b	are nice maybe we could do
a	i don't know .
a	what about you ?
b	okay so you're but okay that would be fine with me
b	however
b	what if there is
b	what if there's some albums that
b	that bring back some special meaning in that crate
b	what would you do i mean is there a deal that we can work on this or is everything sight unseen
a	oh
b	well
b	it does if i buy the locker by myself it makes sense
a	yeah
a	true
b	so
a	um
b	uh the clock
b	is kinda interesting i've always loved those clocks
a	ok
a	um
a	how about if i take all three chairs and you take both plates and the clock ?
a	so we'll take three items apiece
b	why do you say that
a	how does that sound to you ?
b	why are the records and the lamps so important to you
a	why is that ?
b	i'm doing okay how are you
a	well
a	i've got a buyer who's interested in these chairs
b	uh yeah i i think that's fair that's a good deal
a	no .
b	yes
a	well
a	yeah
a	but
a	the chairs are the easiest for me to move
b	what would you like
a	well
a	what do you propose ?
b	you're right they do have a
a	ok
a	what do you think about me getting two chairs and one plate and you getting one chair , one plate , and the clock ?
b	
a	well
a	so
b	
a	ok
a	let me see . . .
a	do you want to do it like this , where i take two chairs and the clock and you take one chair and both plates ?
b	well see i have
b	a buyer for the chairs as well
b	and i feel as if yes
a	you'll probably make most of your profit off of these plates
b	okay
a	no , that's not gonna work for me .
a	i have a buyer for the chairs so i know i can definitely make my money's worth
b	yes yes
b	i think it'll be better for xxx
a	um
a	but
a	you want the plates
a	is that right ?
b	mhm
a	well
b	'cause i have buyers also for the chairs
b	um
a	apparently we want the same thing
b	alright if you want the clock so bad how about you take all these three items and just give me one chair
a	but
a	i have a buyer for the chairs so i know i can definitely make my money's worth
b	hi i'm alex nice to meet you too
a	but
a	it's not fair if you get all three chairs
a	i like fair deals , alex
b	okay
a	no , that's not gonna work for me .
b	well i was interested in wanna know what do you want
a	it's not fair
b	what about you
a	the clock has the lowest value
b	no
a	yes
b	what if
b	i took
b	two chairs and gave you two plates
a	and
a	well i have someone that's interested in buying these chairs
b	you as well take care man
a	that doesn't feel right to me .
a	would you consider this a fair deal ?
b	and i as well
b	so what do we do sam
a	not really .
b	um
b	it's not uh
b	of that high importance to me how about yourself
a	well
b	i think i'm feeling the same actually
a	but
a	um
a	let's come up with a plan that we can walk out of here and benefit from
b	hmm
a	ok
a	so
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	alright we got a deal
a	this is a fair deal
b	yes
a	yes
a	but
a	let's focus on the value of each thing , not the number of items
b	so you get two chairs and the clock and i get the uh the porcelain china and one chair
a	the chairs are worth good money
b	you just said you're looking to
b	carry something easy
a	but it's about the value , not the number of items
b	well i'm in the same situation as you though
a	it seems like the clock is not worth a lot
b	well um
b	pretty much all of them how about you
a	how many customers do you have for that clock ?
b	well we can negotiate depending are you
a	oh really ?
b	okay that's a good start um okay
b	so where should we start should we start in the middle here
b	um those china sets um
a	huh
a	well
a	let me see . . .
a	it's hard
b	why you just said you had a buyer
a	it's the same for me
b	yeah yeah
b	alright so um
b	which one in particular is interesting to you
a	that doesn't seem fair though !
b	okay
a	um
a	i'm just trying to think
b	i guess
a	well i have someone that's interested in buying these chairs
a	it's hard
a	um
a	let me think for a second .
b	mm
a	can i take one chair and both plates and you take two chairs and the clock ?
a	i think that's pretty fair
b	i'm doing fine how are you
a	but
a	it's not fair
b	plates
a	um
a	you said we go fifty fifty on everything
b	hi
b	my name is t j
b	pleasure's all mines fine thank you
a	not really .
a	i think , to be fair , i should get two chairs and the clock and you should get one chair and both plates
b	yeah this is about fifty fifty
a	um
a	how about if i take two chairs and one plate and you take one chair , one plate , and the clock ?
b	i'm not sure that i'm totally okay with that one
a	i don't want to do that !
b	well
b	um i was hoping
b	i like this chair a lot
b	and
b	um
b	i was hoping that
b	you could take the plates
b	and the clock
b	and i could have the chairs
a	well
b	thank you
a	what about you ?
b	you also
a	really ?
b	i think the painting matches well with the lamps they're both from the nineteen twenties and could be sold as a set increasing its total value
a	well
b	okay
a	but
a	i think , to be fair , i should get one chair and both plates and you should get two chairs and the clock
a	that's a fair deal
b	so
a	deal
a	until next time
a	goodbye
b	i i feel like you know the chairs
b	might a little bit more valuable towards me for me
b	would you be okay with
b	me moving things around just for a second and taking
