a	well i've seen you before if you don't remember my name is sam
b	mhm
a	we can call you tom or
b	deal
a	jack
b	i know
b	yeah i want everybody to benefit for sure that's funny
a	i'm sam
b	so even if i couldn't sell i i'd actually probably hang it and keep it xxx
a	good to see you again
b	change them around and then you sell the records by itself and keep this and then maybe later on sell this and make like double the money
a	so i guess we have some other people here
a	who are interested in what we're both interested in but since we sort of know each other from these sorta things
a	i think as in the past which we've done before we can buy the locker together for for both of our small businesses
b	
a	then try to divide it up amongst ourselves instead of our competition get 'em since we've done this before together
b	yeah
a	and see how we can divide it up that it mutually
b	well in that case i you know if you
b	if you don't like the
b	these or that you know i'm all for it um
b	you know these are kind of
b	funky and i don't know if i could get a good price for them
b	but you know
b	i think that sounds good to me
a	benefits both of us yeah
b	
a	great let's see how we can divide it up amongst ourselves so we can see if it's worth going
b	mhm
a	forward too so at the end we can say you get a b and c and i get
a	a b and c
b	okay
a	so
a	what are your feelings about for example i see it right in the middle of us this painting
a	what do you feel about it
b	okay
a	i think it's nice
b	not too sure i don't know
b	looking at the items though the the different things that could be well worth
b	a a great deal
a	uh
a	eh you know i might have some people that might be interested in it
a	so
b	like the beatles
b	and
b	there's no doubt that you'd like this lady played the little uh
b	ukulele is that ukulele
a	okay what do you feel let's go on about the lamps
b	how you doing there today man
a	we
a	we see the one over here so we're looking at the same thing that two sided one and they
b	so if you take the two lamps then
a	yeah they both look nice they both look uh
a	just looking at them antique nice probably i would assume about equivalent value
b	thank you i think we're gonna do good
a	for the lamps right if we broke them up as an item
b	that's fine by me
a	i always have people looking for lamps uh in my store
b	okay got a deal for you
a	i'd say probably just because of the number of units involved if they're a good shape
a	i don't know if we can go through each and every one to look at the quality of the vinyl albums
b	hmm
a	which is something boy it'd be nice to
a	you see a beatles album there we don't know how
a	like some of the vinyl that i have people brought them back to me and i have a
a	uh especially on the vinyl a return policy if they're not playable i would check it on my own turntable to see if they worked
b	with this or that
a	and obviously since we don't have a turntable here it's
a	they are it is a risky
a	uh investment looking at it we don't even know if they're gonna play correctly
a	and usually people will pay good amount of money for those
a	but
b	so
a	they still want it to work and if you have
a	a good customer
a	that comes by and buy these but if he buys it
a	you're gonna have to give him show him that it works either in your store or give him some sort of twenty four hour return policy
a	so it is a little bit of a risk there also
b	um
b	'cause that's that's gonna be real hard but you know what um
a	and obviously see we see on the two of the crates
a	the beatles which is gonna be of a lot more value
a	obviously
b	okay okay
a	to us than the full crate on the end
a	with the minutemen who i don't even know who are really remember who they are
a	i've heard the name
b	okay so uh so which ones do you want
a	but i don't think in pop culture whereas you know
a	we see the yellow submarine album
b	but i'm willing to put this out here now
a	and it looks to me i think that's the hard day's night album if i remember right from
a	i'm giving away my age a little bit
b	uh i'm leaving and taking a majority of the albums but on the other hand
b	if you have any interest in the albums
b	you know i would take a lamp
a	and uh
a	are those something you think you can sell at your store
b	we see each other uh all the time we've worked with each other before what i'll cut this now and then next time we run into something like this
b	you'll consider what
a	right so it's the risky to me it seems very risky
b	oh right
a	and because we don't know of the quality of it we don't have a turntable
a	it's like for example looking at the a copy of the gutenberg bible
a	an original and seeing it but all the pages are torn out of it
a	or if it doesn't play properly
b	thank you
a	or if we're looking behind the uh minutemen on the end
a	it can be a bunch of
a	captain kangaroo albums on the inside intead of popular rock and roll items
a	we don't know what's in there
b	i propose i propose i propose
b	mm what if we what if we did um
b	give you one of the lamps
b	and i will take this other lamp here
b	um painting is nice uh i want this
b	and one of these
a	and we don't know of the quality of it
a	so there was a i would say even though i think
a	i have regular customers who like the album
a	i'm a little hesitant because of the risk
a	involved a because of the quality
b	i think i think we're going to be here all night is that okay
b	can i order room service or anything
a	and we see that b it's
a	it's looking at a great for example to me lobster dinner
a	but if you have the lobster find out it's old and it's tough and it's or looking at a steak dinner and find out boy it's
a	it's just tough it looks very appetizing from the outside
a	but i'm a little uh
b	no no i wanna see your first offer so which one would you wanna take
a	i'm a little
a	scary i like you to think i look at the lamps and i go
a	hmm
a	that's something i know we could
a	we could sell that's a little safer
b	this is funny okay
a	yeah
b	yeah
a	and as the painting
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	right
b	split it
a	right right
b	yeah
a	do you have any interest in any of the albums
b	mhm
a	i like the lamps as well but i have a pretty good backlog on lamps in my store
a	whereas i would also
b	uh in the eyes of the beholder that could be worth more money than the two beatles records
a	give a high priority towards the lamps
a	that
b	mm good so far
a	i'd be willing to take a little more risk on some of the albums
b	mm
a	whereas 'cause we have a good backlog on the lamps at our store
a	as well is the same with the painting i have all my wall space in my thirty thousand foot
a	warehouse is pretty full but
b	we have to go on faith on this one so so i mean it just depends on if if if if if you're a man of faith or not
a	the painting seems good
a	but the albums seems like a risky thing
a	but it also seems like i have such an over supply on lamps even though i think the lamps is a nice safe bet if we can at least get our
a	our uh
a	our money back on that because it seems we see the beatles on the top we don't know what's on the inside of those crates
b	and if we combine all this and put it on ebay
b	uh and then split the profits
b	i think we'll make more money just than do just to do the albums by themself
a	and we don't know the conditions of those albums which really scares me
a	so but anyway
a	you want the you feel these are your
a	you you wanna go home with those both
b	two lamps on one side
b	tamara and the other box of records on the other
a	the painting is hard unless we have it it looks nice
a	it could be a mona lisa
b	what i got
a	or it could be a paint by numbers looking at it from this distance given that
b	you like the print here too okay
a	we've worked in the art business but unless we have our appraisal
b	yeah eh we're still fine
a	it could be a print or it could be an original
b	yeah
a	right
b	i was specialized in one kind of thing and you were specialized in another
a	right
b	well i'll tell you what how 'bout you take a record
b	uh a block and i'll take a record block
a	is that something is that a positive thing for you or is that a negative is that something you like
b	what are you most interested in
a	i like the idea i like the albums i'd like to go home with a
a	good supply of the albums i have room for it 'cause my warehouse is full
a	however i'm still apprehensive about some of the risk
b	it could've been yeah
b	yeah
a	do you see i know we
a	i think these are probably the most valuable i know where we'll both be getting money from those even though i have a good supply on the lamps i know i'll get my we'll get or money back both of us
b	yeah
a	they all sorta go together in a way if you really think about it
b	no well no
a	it looks in good condition good shape
b	both lamps
b	i have the picture and which crate
a	right we're just looking at it now
b	i might consider the albums uh
a	right it looks it looks good looking at it just the same with the lamps the lamps look good but unless we're gonna look at it quick
b	you you you satisfied with yours
a	but they look good but people always want lamps that's why i always i always stock lamps and i actually part of my business
b	that was
a	geez a probably about a third of my business is lamps 'cause people would always want these art deco lamps because they
a	they look great
b	one two
b	three items
a	they last forever
a	and it's really easy something easy for them to take home
a	the thing is with the vinyl when i have people come into my stores people just open 'em up and look at them with a fine tooth comb
b	well i think i'd rather have the beatle
b	beatle albums
a	in fact i even keep a turntable in my store
a	for these albums so people i can let them listen to 'em
a	because i prefer if i don't know who the customer is
a	we don't you know given it's used merchandise we really don't have a return policy but for a regular customer if they bring it back in twenty four hours
a	i would say great i don't wanna have unhappy customers because i'm so happy with my return business
a	you know and i'm really scared of this minutemen i don't know what's behind here at least i see on these couple i see a beatles on the outside
a	where at least the
a	even if it's all junk on the inside at least some of them i like the cover
a	so
b	so
a	uh i'm leaving and taking a majority of the albums but on the other hand
a	if you have any interest in the albums
a	you know i would take a lamp
b	
b	well okay well you go with the lamps and i go with the painting
a	yeah absolutely
b	yeah uh huh
a	right
b	we're done
a	we have about another before we do this auction we have about another minute
b	now i'm going to stand pat
a	so let's try to divide think of something real quick uh
b	oh i you know what
b	that makes sense you might want to
b	act like you're standoffish at a certain point and then i jump in and scare this guy because he doesn't know me as well
b	and why why is why am i so interested
a	i think that's fair i would just for if you were gonna get those i would just prefer to get the ones with the beatles on the outside
a	and
b	yes
a	to give you you want
a	if i was for example to get two of the albums
a	and to give you this over here
a	and i'll take this i don't know what since we don't have a lot of value on this guy here
a	to leave at something like this it looks to me about equivalent value
b	yeah i've done one other
a	i'd be more likely to take the lamps if i say i didn't have an oversupply on 'em
a	right now i would want the lamps
b	i'll take the lamp
b	yeah
a	but i'm willing to risk it
a	and we're gonna bid in about thirty seconds and this to me seems about fair because at least i know i'm risking this on here but at least some of my i might be able to put a frame on the beatles cover so xxx
b	vinyl period
a	i am given what they're gonna bid in about seven seconds
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	we do
b	i want but no no no it's either
b	you're gonna you're you're gonna give me the lamp
a	good luck let's let's hope we win this
b	for the for the record
b	you see what i'm saying i get a lamp you get a lamp
a	i don't they might have a hundred guys coming in here
a	mhm
b	and music and what not but
a	
b	okay
a	no
b	okay aren't we supposed to bid on 'em or what are we doing
b	that's the part i don't get
a	were you watch were you watching us
a	oh you watch us later
b	let's see
b	i'm trying to be fair here but how can you be fair
a	do you want us leave this on are we still being recorded
b	well if you could if you had your choice of taking three of the items
b	what would those be
