a	ready
b	and i'm dennis i mean i'm uh i forgot my name
a	okay
b	already
a	okay
a	okay so why did you pick that
b	no jack jack
b	just call me jack okay so
a	um so we'll do that okay
a	um
b	okay sam
a	that okay that these are all okay so these are
b	good to see you
a	alright
b	sure we'll bid together and then see what happens
a	but it's two lamps not one
a	i'm trying to see if there's any type of evil i mean an even playing field where you would get
a	i mean i guess if you really want it you could take
a	all three of these items and one crate to compensate but then that would only leave me with two crates
b	of course let's let's work
a	that's what i'm saying listen to me one more time
a	one more time please
b	yeah well first of all let's let's work together on this and figure out
a	uh
b	where we stand and um
b	obviously there are items in here that uh you're interested in there's items that i'm interested in
b	and um well let's talk about um
b	obviously if we win this bid where we gonna go
a	we're bidding
a	no i think we're just supposed to i think we're both going after the same storage unit
b	mhm okay
a	see just because they show this on the front don't mean that they have five you could they could be anything behind 'em
b	okay
a	that's the cheapest one yeah oh yeah if i make yeah
b	eh you know
b	it is art deco and it it is one of a kind
b	um you know it
b	it's part of the deal of coming in buying a storage unit you never you never know what you're gonna get
b	so um
b	ideally you know that's just part of it
b	um honestly i i don't
b	have an interest in that particular item but you know
b	we like i said if we win the bid that's part of our
b	that's part of our deal you know uh um
a	yeah i mean if you want it
a	it'd be sixty percent of the bid
b	so how do you feel about it
a	i think we should bid high first
b	okay
b	so
b	you know uh let's talk about the other items
a	okay
b	good
b	well the lamps are nice you know they're they're
a	it's this two that's up there this one and that one i like this one it's pretty
a	
b	mhm single side yeah single
a	i'ma let you
b	yeah yeah yeah if you break down the lamps they're probably equivalent value and they're both in great shape and uh
a	oh well i see this locker has something
a	uh looks like might be of value to you
b	obviously we could make a little profit on those
b	and um you know if you you i don't know if you have
a	no it does if you remember that it's a little value there is little value attached to
b	yeah yeah
b	and i also too um so you know um
b	that's uh let's put that up for discussion
b	and we let's move on to the third items
b	uh which is these three crates of records
b	um they're pretty old um
b	i'm sure you know just based on the fact that um
b	um mm mm you know
b	based on the fact that everything's these days is so modern it's all cds and things like that um there is a a a place for these and there are customers that can
b	that are looking for these type of items
b	um
b	i mean do do you have an interest in any one of these three say this is one category
b	the the art deco painting is other and the records are another do you you feel a strong
b	you know attraction to any of these three categories
a	i'm willing to go fifty fifty but uh
a	just give me uh you can give me uh
a	i'll take a do you like the lamps
a	okay well
b	mhm
a	go ahead
b	mhm
a	but you have to realize that so many beatles albums got made during that period like this is this is actually a rare rare like rare rare lamps sort of like there's only like uh um um
b	of course
a	yes
b	mhm
a	you think that's a fair deal me giving you
a	one lamp
b	mhm
a	i know you're you have that bargain you're interested i'll forgo the two beatles for you to give to your guy so he's happy and maybe we can keep him
a	um on retainer for the future uh uh unit that we might have
a	i can still make my guy happy with this one remaining crate
a	i get the profits of these if i can sell them
a	and there was no interest in in this right
b	i have no i have no i have no clue
a	yeah
b	mhm
a	well the artwork is always nice of course and uh i agree vinyl is is good too there's quite a market for it but uh
b	mhm
a	but but they could but
a	there's a market for the painting
b	yeah i'm leaning towards the uh at this point i'm leaning towards the lamps
b	um the
b	the records you know
b	i do have buyers potential buyers for things like that
b	um but like you said because of the number of items in there
b	we
b	it's hard to determine what the value is
b	you you know in other words
a	okay well i think i just doubled my money
b	it it's the risk
a	mhm
b	of course of course
a	i don't know how to start this but that's alright um
b	yeah
a	hmm
b	of course
a	i'm fine with that deal alex
b	but
a	we just we just leave it close to you
a	we just leave it there just to think about it but you want these lamps
b	yeah so in other words you're you're on the same mindset as me as far as um
a	i take the record like this
b	at least with the lamps you you see what you see what you see in front of you is what you're gonna get
b	and that's what the customer's going to see
a	yes alright let's do that
b	that's gonna xxx
b	exactly the same with the painting but the uncertain factor would be those records
b	um however you know it
b	it can be very lucrative but like you said it can be a high risk item
b	um
b	the higher the risk obviously the higher the return
a	that was easy
b	uh the reward return on it so um it's just a
b	coin flip or a it's like being it's like gambling like anything else you and i know that
b	this type of situation especially when we're going through an auction like this
b	um it sometimes you overpay
b	for a unit sometimes you underpay for a unit
b	and um
b	you're gonna have to keep that in mind as far as
b	what is the value that we're gonna have to put on all these items
b	that it's gonna make us worth our while to bid for this unit
a	right you can definitely get rid of those two
a	and you got somebody for that right
b	you know so um
a	mm it's up to you with this one
b	um i would
b	i would i would consider the albums but like i said right now
b	um i'm kinda leaning towards the the lamps
b	i mean i i don't know how you feel about this but
a	hm
a	
b	mhm
a	eh
a	and then i can have this beatles collection
b	mhm
a	according to my shop
b	mhm
a	i didn't really take a good view of before
a	well
a	let me see here now do you have any interest at all in the uh in this photo picture
b	mhm
a	but
a	but more records doesn't necessarily mean more records can be twenty five cents of records
b	mhm
a	uh i think that might be tough to know exactly
b	well you know if we if we look at it this way
b	um
b	i'm looking at okay you've been in business as long as i have
b	you're you're looking at a situation where
b	um uh you're aware that art deco can be of value
b	and these three would be considered art deco
b	okay including the painting um
b	i'm looking at the lamps as something that's potentially
b	something that's viable however uh the painting
b	you know mhm
b	that's an a risk
a	okay well i think i just doubled my money
b	yeah
a	it's coming yeah i i've i've xxx
b	mhm yeah you can't tell
a	well you know what let's trade well let's
b	in other words it could be a just a print
b	a copy a print
a	wait wait you want two lamps
b	it could be an original so that is also an unknown factor
a	so that would be more appealing for me as as as a buyer slash seller because i can
a	have that product uh moved and and
a	also probably um at the same time
a	receive a uh better resale price because i have the buyers already in my pocket you know
b	you know
a	no no no no according to the to the thing because
a	you you were has taken advantange of me in the past it says
b	uh so it's a matter of deciding at this point
b	um if we can
a	so that's my thing i
b	well potentially it's something that
a	yeah xxx
b	of course
a	i see minutemen and
a	i mean it looks good to me
a	the beatles i mean the beatles is cool but like minutemen
b	well it
b	mhm the art deco obviously you follow this category art deco and you have the the albums here the vinyls
b	the art
a	look at how count how many records there is on here
b	yeah yeah
b	the art deco the painting is the question mark
b	uh as far as
b	as you stated with the vinyls there's a risk involved but
b	with this particular item the painting
a	you you see that i you know and i like i say in my store i have no place for it
b	it's in very good condition however you know there is a risk involved because you don't know what you're getting 'cause we can't see it
b	we can't put our hand on it at this point
a	are probably the best
b	you know
b	you know we're we're we win we win this storage unit we open the door
b	and as soon as we put out hand on it all of a sudden we realize
b	out out in the garbage or we're gonna jump up and down and say
a	and whatnot yeah
b	yeah yeah
a	well you know what
a	you know what uh hm
b	yeah yeah
a	i'm alex yes nice to meet you likewise
b	of course
a	i think so
b	of course
a	no
b	okay
b	okay um
b	at this point where are you leaning
a	you have a deal
b	so you're you're open to mixing
a	yeah
b	in other words we have say for instance
b	we have one lamp one lamp
b	a painting and then we have three boxes of albums
b	and then um so it you would agree at this point
b	to mix the category in a sense
a	yeah i run an antique store so
a	
a	i mean these if they sat on my shelf i could i could sell 'em now i could sell 'em in ten years doesn't really matter to me
b	mhm
a	it would be nice if this one was in that and that one's in this
b	yeah well we'll
a	yeah i think so
b	okay okay we need yeah we're coming down to the wire here um
b	because i'm looking at um i'm looking at um
b	a good mix in other words something to help reduce
b	some of the risk involved so
b	i would go for one album
b	and two of the art deco items two outta the three art deco items
b	and how do you feel about that
a	can work together on the
a	you know on up bidding up selling or uh overbidding
a	to deter the other uh uh people that are interested
b	okay
a	it's up to you
a	i'll let as a matter of fact i'll tell you what i'll tell you what since you're willing to take this one or poor lady
a	you get as i was asking which two do you want
b	okay
a	i'm willing to let you have the twenty one or if we're if we're valuing this as as a one
a	and i get a twenty does that make sense
b	okay
a	that's all good but you know it how's your day so far though
b	of course of course
b	alright um you know what at this point we're running out of time here we're gonna have to make a decision
b	um i'm good with
b	taking the lamps and the albums that i'm not sure what they are you're you're good with the two albums
b	two two boxes of albums with the beatles in the front
a	no
a	i don't understand why you'd want to why you wouldn't want to split the disappointment of your buyer
b	okay
b	all right it sounds like we got a deal
a	why is this thing let me turn this down
a	xxx can't hear you
a	uh it sounds like a pretty good deal to me man uh
a	i think that we both realize that maybe the records are uh of little xxx value maybe that depends you know uh
a	if the person that you uh were to sell 'em to uh or try to sell 'em to you know if they if they agree to that
b	okay
a	right exactly and that's potential business that i'm losing see that's that's just bad business that's bad business man
b	thank you
b	you know i didn't know there was
b	a hundred dollars additional lottery
a	like
b	yeah that's true though that's true
a	so
b	yeah
a	like about six hundred bucks
b	no black eyes
b	okay no fighting no no pulling no pulling hair
a	that's
a	but i think that the best negotiating would be
a	to leave it out of our hands and
a	and use fate
a	to get to to to i mean unless you have another idea i'm i'm willing to
b	yeah
a	with a a valuable and not so valuable
b	oh okay
