a	what's your first name i forgot his first name
a	i know mine alex and sam
b	i'll trade you i'll trade you this here for the records
a	alex
a	alex how's it going
a	nice to see you
b	hmm
a	so we're in fifty fifty for this and you know let's come up with a plan that we can walk out of here and both you know benefit from it you know whatever's fair is fair you know
b	but it depends on what items each of us are getting
b	okay
a	so you you don't have any interest in that picture 'cause i know you're really into kinda art art deco i thought maybe you would probably
b	mhm right
a	find somebody where you can you know move that picture you know somebody might be interested although it's not
a	necessarily you know top notch and it's not
a	necessarily that rare i thought maybe the people that you
a	you know work with might be interested in that painting
b	you don't want it
a	i mean i was just thinking 'cause i i know that you're in that business and the people that you know
a	would probably be a little more interested in that and you could probably turn a quicker buck than i could
a	holding on to something like that
b	so we in okay
b	we can both split the locker this is the type of lamp you want
a	i don't really have people that are that interested in that no
b	i'll be leaving home with
b	a record half of the records
b	and i'll take the painting
a	i would think you could make something from it and i wouldn't be able to make too much from it 'cause i don't really know that much of an audience for it
b	i think there's just something about them i don't know i just got a funny feeling the lamp i mean the picture may be more and the lamp may be
a	so there would be nobody that
a	you know that would even appreciate that at all even for a nominal fee just to make something out of it
b	uh huh
a	i mean i'm i'm scanning my brain and i just feel like
a	my audience is more geared towards uh the record i feel like that that would be a little easier to move that and i know again you know the lamps would be your
b	extra album
a	probably your top priority
b	yeah yeah exactly
a	of you know what you're looking at what you would want and maybe you'd have an easier time moving those lamps
a	and i might have an easier time moving the records um
a	you know what do you think is fair for us to do if we're gonna split the contents fifty fifty
b	yeah so for me like there's probably been thousand hundreds of thousands of these albums made
a	okay so
b	what's important to me
a	yeah i mean the art deco lamps you know you'll probably get a good price for those and i think probably two of 'em would be better than just
a	one of them
b	that's a reprints of the
a	um you could probably
a	uh probably sounds like a little more attractive to somebody who's a buyer to have a couple of them than than one
b	so what would be an even deal
a	yeah and again i think to sell you know
a	three crates of records looks a lot more attractive than one crate
a	uh whether they're gonna turn around and sell it i don't know but at least i could probably move that a little easier and i think you could probably move two lamps
a	a little bit easier
b	mm
a	i mean
b	okay well
a	now it depends what's in that collection i'm just worried about splitting that crate
a	not necessarily splitting it with you but if that crate gets split up maybe there's
a	more value in holding those records together
b	
a	right
b	i could really really use those records
a	right
b	okay so i'll get one of these
a	it looks like these both have beatles
a	and these are a mix of records
b	no i don't think i like that
a	and we don't know
b	all the records
b	okay
a	yeah there are certainly not as many in this one this has the least amount of records in it
b	yeah
a	so
b	because because you're gonna make a lot of money
b	off all these albums there's probably what about thirty in each of them
a	i'm just trying to think i mean it sounds like a fair
a	it sounds like a fair negotiation
b	okay
a	um i'm just worried about splitting
a	that small crate only because it has such a small amount amount of records and it looks like it has beatles
a	labels on it and somebody who's obsessed with the beatles
a	might be wondering you know they probably know
a	that full set
a	and they may wonder where the other ones are and i think they're of more value
a	when they're kept together
b	and we're through now
b	go ahead
b	looks like you bought me out
a	uh i think that might be tough to know exactly
b	you want that one
a	what records are in there but i mean you have an idea with with splitting it so
b	mm mhm
a	i mean is there a chance that
b	yeah
a	you know we're obviously talking you know the value of this
a	probably is less than even half the value of these
a	split would you agree that
a	if we split these
a	that has still a little more value than maybe this art
a	art piece
a	or again with your buyers do you think you would be able to move this
a	a little more easily
b	
a	as a whole than me moving just half
a	of these beatle records somebody might recognize that some of the records are missing
b	and the
b	picture
b	if i can get the the three crates of the records then we can go fifty fifty on this otherwise it's gonna go to open auction
b	and then we both may lose out here
b	'cause if it goes to open neither one of us might get any of this if it goes to open auction 'cause some other buyer may step in and say hey i'll give you this much and they're gonna outbid us
b	so if we go fifty fifty on this and i get these three you get those three it's a win win situation 'cause this is what i sell the most of that's what you sell the most of
a	it's the least full yeah
b	yeah
a	or what i was thinking 'cause it looks like this has a mix of different kinds of records in it
b	that's the offer i gave you
a	and these look like they're specifically beatles
a	it might behoove me to keep the beatles together for one of my buyers who's really you know
b	okay mhm
a	really into the beatles and that would be like a
a	a big win for me um and possibly
b	they're in good condition and see that and that's something that you know we really can't tell at this point
b	so but a few xxx
a	counting how many are in here and possibly splitting some of these just to get the to keep the beatles together i'm just thinking about uh if i was a buyer
b	yeah right
a	you know i would want the most of the beatles and not uh
b	but uh if you feel that
b	those yeah you right about that the beatles especially yeah
a	not a you know i wouldn't want it to be split up per se
b	well i agree with you with your assessment
b	um i would say too though
b	another thing we don't know about those records are is uh are they original releases are they original pressings or not which would kick up the value the value
a	right so you're thinking it's all the same
b	yeah it's some work
a	all the same i don't i'm not familiar with
a	minutemen
b	yeah i think so
a	so i'm definitely familiar with the beatles yeah
b	i am given what they're gonna bid in about seven seconds
a	right if that's a full set and that one gets split
b	painting right
a	then i'm worried about that right
b	right i understand
b	i don't want that either so what about these records here
a	so
b	i'm sam sheets
b	and i guess we went in on a locker together
b	um
a	you're suggesting that we split part of the take some out of the minutemen and keep the beatles together
a	oh okay
b	but the lamps are not worth nothing
a	right
b	yup
a	i think yeah we don't have that exact information
b	it's a negotiation anything goes yeah
a	yeah it looks like it's not that full i mean this crate compared to this crate looks pretty
b	yeah
b	yeah they're they said they're what did they said they're good but they're xxx
b	they're in unusually good condition
b	to me but that seems to be not worth much
a	like they're kinda leaning back you know so it doesn't look that full that's why i think
b	mhm
a	right but i'm just worried about my buyer who really knows all the albums and will notice that some are missing and then these
a	which are worth
a	good money and i know you have buyers for these since they're in really good condition
b	mhm yeah
b	mhm
a	um it's sort of like if we took one of the bulbs out of this do you understand what i mean as far as the buyer like if you were to try to sell this to your buyer
b	yeah yeah same here same here
b	um well um
b	looks like we got six items um i don't know um you know what you're looking for
a	and one of the bulbs was missing
a	it would wouldn't go for as much that's why i'm thinking that if anything is taken out of the beatles it's not gonna
a	give me as much of a return
b	yeah
a	right and we're unsure exactly what
b	um so what if what if i gave you the uh both lamps
b	and
b	and this guy and the painting and i took the the records would you feel that would be equitable to you
b	we do that
a	is in here there could be some elvis records in there we don't know there could be
b	and i can take this
b	oh okay that was easy
b	alright um so are we set yes let me see
a	uh you know a lot of stuff that we're not
a	maybe even familiar with and somebody who
a	i don't know why but i'm just inclined to try to keep these together and maybe
a	go through these and pick out some good ones from here
b	alright i'll take another beatles
a	right
b	okay
a	i'm just worried about splitting up the the beatles
b	yeah i think i think uh um uh that's that's what i'm here for is the is the lamps
a	hmm
a	so basically we know this you know this we can move but for not
a	not too much it's not our top notch thing
a	uh
b	pretty good
a	are you sure that you don't wanna go through these and pick out maybe like
a	six albums from here like if you if we find something in here that's really worth
b	that's of no value to me that's
a	yeah i'm not familiar
b	okay
a	with that either so i wish i had more
b	okay so
a	knowledge i'm sure sure some of my buyers would know more about it
a	than me um
b	hi i'm alex
a	yeah exactly
b	yeah
a	could we go through these and see if there are any duplicates in the in the beatles and if there's any duplicates
b	interesting
b	i gotta say this though i think
a	then we could then we could split
a	that so you have some
b	okay specifically but i don't have any buyers for this so if i take it
b	i uh it's like i gave up my definite sale for my oh damn how do i sell it you get what i'm saying
a	similar albums six albums the
b	okay where to begin
a	i'm just hoping the return on this is good 'cause i'm still hesitant about
a	you know not having a full
b	so these are our options i would agree i don't want the painting either
b	okay
a	a full case of the beatles that's my only hesitation
b	
a	but this is like the this is gonna for sure move at like a good price and this is kind of like my my business you know
b	lamps lamps painting painting
a	but that's my point the more i have the more they'll they'll pay the more they'll want it
b	i want the lamp
a	so there's no negotiation with taking any out of this
b	how can you tell
a	what about three and three
b	yeah i i need some lamps for my stores what i what i'm getting because i sell a lot of lamps
a	and then at least i have a little bit more
a	'cause this one doesn't look every full to me
a	and uh like i said i hope we find some duplicates
a	so whatever duplicates it sounds like we agree that whatever duplicates we find
a	we could
a	you know split that since it would be one and one
a	and then i was just thinking
a	maybe six of these that's just my only hesitation
b	yeah um
a	three and three
b	probably your top priority
a	okay that's fair we decided on um
b	uh well i mean i i wanna split everything fifty see
b	if you you know paid for half of it
b	i paid for half
a	um
b	certainly
a	yeah so i'm taking the the beatles and the minute men and then
a	i'm taking all of these but we decided that i would give her three beatles and three from the minutemen
b	and it looks to me i think that's the hard day's night album if i remember right from
b	i'm giving away my age a little bit
a	yeah
b	not one bit okay same here same here
a	yeah i mean i could
a	i'm sure i could find somebody it's not gonna be our biggest like profit but you know
b	okay i would like maybe
b	okay i would probably do something like this right here
a	alright that sounds good
b	and okay 'cause i feel like the value
b	i agree with you that it's not it's more of like like you said you would just keep it
b	and not necessarily you know what i'm saying
b	resell it
a	yes
b	alright
b	so we're gonna go with both of 'em or let's wait for for
a	
b	mhm
a	we didn't know what minutemen was
b	i have no idea
b	i don't know they might have one
a	oh we assumed that but i wasn't familiar so
b	mm
a	oh okay
b	because it's a higher value to me like obviously
b	i mean these lamps are valuable but i can get more
b	if i let go if i can get a a a a record i believe but
b	for as far as the art there's no way there's just no there's no nobody's buying that
a	yeah
b	yeah 'cause my plan is to sell this painting to
b	like a museum or something and then switch this around like the records
b	and just keep the crate and then sell the records
b	sound fair
