a	okay
a	so then
b	so i don't know if this is cheating
a	all right
b	but
b	it says that i received an inside tip that there's another storage locker that has lots of records in it
a	yeah i think that would work
b	um and that's totally what uh i'm into into the records
a	so uh
b	hum
b	i'd be and it says that i'm supposed to just kind of keep that to myself as a possible
b	uh
b	piece and that i can use it as a negotiating piece if i want to later
a	uh some 'em are out of the cover halfway but the black one looks like it's pretty
a	it's pretty down
b	but i'm willing to put this out here now
a	good luck let's let's hope we win this
b	okay
a	mm hmm
b	so i this is the part that i don't exactly understand maybe i miss read it
a	yeah
b	but it's my understanding that these particular records that i saw here
a	it's like you you you know when you get a divorce and then the wife gets half you don't take a chainsaw and cut the couch down the middle and give her half
b	i feel as though i have a buyer for it that'd be interested in these records
a	yeah if i take three crates of the records that means that you would take the remaining
b	i don't know what records are gonna be in the other storage locker there might be records that my buyer might want but i know for a fact they're right here
a	here you said you wanted the beatles yellow submarine it would be a great collectors item but see we don't i don't know what's in these piles of beatles record
b	then we're then we're kind of in a similar spot
a	uh huh
a	these
b	because what i was going to say is i would take these records and offer to split the storage locker i was supposed to keep just for myself
a	yeah why why don't you take the painting
b	um
b	but if you also are interested in those beatles we're in a tough spot
a	if you sell 'em i'm just i'm just hypothetically let's just say
a	okay dollar wise
a	like for okay let me ask you what do you plan on doing with anything you get here
a	sell exactly me too anything here
b	um
b	also just also i'm an antiques guy and you're a you're a music guy right okay so um
a	i know i don't want that
b	what do you mean
a	hm
b	mhm mhm
a	okay
a	so the items we really want is the albums
b	so you would want two of the records i mean alright so like i said so i have a dude who wants what i think i i don't know also i'm not like a music person for just so uh i don't know like what like what the angle is i i guess like they're beatles records or the minutemen or whatever
a	um okay but a case of records there's three cases of records
b	so um
b	and i do have the other storage locker so that makes me feel as though i have a good chance of finding records that maybe could match with my buyer but that's not something you're interested you don't want a piece of that other locker
a	yeah yeah
b	oh
a	yeah
a	if you're in fifty fifty it don't make no difference
b	alright so just also just to put on the table too antique wise these lamps are like okay i mean i can make a couple bucks on them
a	i'm alex yes nice to meet you likewise
b	don't want anything to do with that print um
a	so a
a	a record and a lamp and then this
b	yeah i mean you could you could i have no
a	mhm
b	so that's
a	yeah
b	so that's it's now there's something about me that makes me feel as though these records are even more valuable to you than i can even imagine 'cause if you're willing to forgo like a piece of a whole other storage locker of records
a	good luck let's let's hope we win this
b	but then you don't want anything to do with another storage locker that's supposedly packed with records
a	a antique dealer and i think the records would be most profitable
b	okay
a	mhm mhm
b	that's weird
a	mm
b	why why why would you not want that
b	yeah but it also feels as though then these got to be so valuable to you and that makes me feel as though
a	so we agree that we're gonna
a	share this we're gonna purchase this locker together
b	i should negotiate harder for them
b	um
a	mhm
a	well yeah i've i've seen um several different pictures and stuff of uh this replica right here
b	just 'cause you're a music guy right like
a	i don't know well are we supposed is that what we're supposed to do and that's it or do you call her now or or what
b	see like that's you're right
a	i didn't mind
a	nice doing business with you too i did not mind being your partner at all it worked out perfectly
b	hm
b	what does this mean what does this mean
a	um
b	right
a	oh they do oh i thought this was the only one with beatles
b	so that's like red flagging me
b	why don't you want records
a	period
a	no it has no value
b	okay
a	mm
b	i got an eye for this thing i don't want it i mean like i feel as though it mean i
a	sounds wonderful
b	i
b	i'll take it if you don't want it but i okay so then honestly like that's the last thing i'm concerned about um the lamps yeah i could probably move them
a	the only other
a	thing that i could say is if you would like to take
a	the records for the lamps but
a	other than that i'm not sure about the painting
a	at all although it may have really good value
b	um and i almost feel like there's this this sinister buyer that you have is the same guy that must be mine
a	i mean i think that would i think that would work out beautifully
b	hm
a	yeah
b	what does this mean no no no of course what does this mean what does this mean
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	hm
a	mhm
b	so i feel like we're at a standstill because the only thing that doesn't seem to be at a standstill is the painting that you that you seem to want even though like
a	ready
a	uh two outta three
b	uh
b	i don't know so i imagine you might like it or want it because i'm telling you as an antiques dealer
a	mm mhm
b	yes and that i was told i could use it as a negotiating point with you
a	uh huh yes
b	it but but that i should try to keep that whole locker to myself if i could if i could trick you into getting the records
a	yeah 'cause it's not that valuable you're probably gonna get
a	fifty bucks maybe
b	then i wouldn't even need to bring up the locker
a	yeah
a	it was just because like i said we seen the painting in the description that it's just it's not even an original it's just a copy mass produced
a	the guy that i want who loves the lamps are these are originals so these are definitely going off the shelves i mean
b	but because i figure you're well anyway um
b	right and that does mean there's a chance i could find those records but i also don't know
a	
b	enough about yeah yeah yeah yeah
b	i'm waiting on setup you're right 'cause i maybe part of the trick is
a	okay so what are we gonna do with this
b	yeah
a	okay
a	okay sam okay what kinda business are you into
b	yeah but just money wise like i i would get
a	well i kinda think i am too but hey
b	but you would have two crates and i would have one 'cause you want the beatles records
a	but i have no use for the uh for the painting
b	so according to
a	alright
b	sure and so my weirdo buyer
b	wants these exact records
a	wow she really just picks oh my
b	yeah
a	yeah
a	right well that's sort of what what i was kinda shoot we're sort of almost at an impasse here 'cause uh
b	um
a	well you wanna
b	are you saying you can't move the lamps at all like they would have no value to you
a	yeah
b	oh
b	so normally normally well here's the thing normally i wouldn't give a crap about the music but i have an actual buyer who wants it so otherwise otherwise i'd be happy to take the deal this is a weird
a	that sounds good to me
b	scenario
a	or can i at least get one of these
b	i mean maybe right like you know wait if i maybe my weirdo buyer
a	yeah so you
b	no no no no no no you're you're right
a	i'd be willing to take a little more risk on some of the albums
b	uh
b	then i would do this
a	but i enjoyed it overall
a	you know um activities and what not out there
b	i would be willing to split the whole thing half half have fifty fifty
a	yeah it's better if we team up that what we can
b	i'll take half the records
a	so what do you propose as far as divvying up the records then
a	the same
b	you take half the records you're disappointing your buyer a little i'm disappointing my buyer a little
a	but you know buying this uh
a	whole container it seems like it's gonna be uh
a	you know a lot of money i was thinking maybe uh
a	if you're interested we could uh go fifty fifty on it
b	can we split a crate i mean like just in terms of
a	you get records from the eighties and nineties they're worthless
a	they're worth a quarter a piece
b	okay good
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	you want to split the profits on that one
a	so so essentially um what we've got here then is is you wanna split the lamps
b	fair enough the only thing is i feel bad
b	doing that to the client like if i have a chance to give him something
a	if or so
b	i'll give him something
b	and like i would go half but
a	i'll oblige you and allow that
b	no and that's why that's why i guess like i feel bad about this particular thing 'cause it seems like it's a weird case where like there's i don't i imagine i don't get like i'll say it as alex i don't get buyers like this all the time
a	you want the records
b	i think that is one of those guys
a	yeah
b	what i'm saying though is if we if we agree to split
a	sounds good to me
b	that last crate
b	i'll also go halfsies with the lamps i'll i'll i'll if you don't want you feel that you can't you can't sell them
a	for for
b	i'll sell them i'll split the profits with you
a	yeah
b	agree to that and then whatever you want to do with that whoever feels as though they could sell uh sell it more
a	and sell the carbon copy
a	so
a	knowing that is it anything you would like to purchase back
b	you take it and we just go halves across the whole thing
a	mhm
b	this is making me feel like we totally have the same client because like as an antique guy that's true for me too like i think i think outside of uh
a	how you doing
a	alex
b	outside of the antique world it would seem as though this are like more valuable but in my world actually
a	you you you think you can rock rock with that
b	uh because of this buyer and the and the money he's throwing at me
a	mhm
a	i don't think it would have that much of an issue
b	i'll make more money off that so literally what you'd be asking me to do is like lose money
a	uh okay um
a	those vintage albums would
a	really be a good item to have
a	in my uh
a	antique store 'cause we've been getting a lot of traffic
b	right
a	uh huh
b	right
a	sure i'm sam sheets
b	i'm even cutting you in on this yeah just because i know how much you have a buyer you don't want to disappoint i have a buyer i don't want to disappoint
a	this one here
b	so if we go halves i'll even go half i so we went half on the locker
a	uh huh
b	we'll go half the whole freaking way i'd be willing to do that it's not ideal my ideal situation would be these over here
a	well we'll have to split it
b	these over here and then that over there right right i know i know sorry it's being silly i'm being silly but like that would be ideal and so and i can tell too for you like that would be a pretty ideal thing for you
a	mhm
b	mhm
a	mhm uh huh
b	you could sell them yeah
a	i could be fine with that
b	why would you want those lamps
a	right right
b	for lamps
b	i'm telling you i can sell them in my place and i'll go halves with you but you but you're saying you want the lamps to sell out of your record shop
a	not one bit okay same here same here
b	that's peculiar to me hm
b	wait a second i thought you wanted the beatles records
a	uh huh hey you know um
a	business is business is booming is is is booming so
a	okay how you been
b	here's what i'm thinking so i'm thinking about this buyer right and you said that that's someone you don't want to disappoint i need some of that
a	i'm thinking
b	exactly so i'm visualizing visualizing like a lot of ways we're negotiating over like is the disappointment of the buyer
a	okay i'll do these two that's fine
b	and i don't you and your buyer to be totally disappointed i don't
a	alright
b	what's that mean
a	no she just grabbed all hers at first she didn't even give me a chance to go across the board
b	okay so i don't want i
a	by oh okay
a	most uh what's the word commercial music
a	has nothing to do with god is just
a	you know buy buy this stuff buy this stuff buy this stuff
b	no
b	i don't understand why you'd want to why you wouldn't want to split the disappointment of your buyer
a	mm
b	
a	mm
b	yeah
b	are we done like it's supposed to be
a	i do like the lamps though
b	what happens if we don't let me just ask something like what happens when we don't come to an agreement then we both have no points or no lottery tickets in the does is that how it works
a	right right right
b	i want to go halves why don't you want to go halves go cut straight through the whole thing
a	there the
b	and i don't i i don't want to disappoint your your buyer
a	mhm there weren't that many that remain right
a	all the iron work there weren't that many made or you know
a	definitely not around still in this condition
a	so that to me is um has some strong value
a	i mean i'm understanding the pairing with the with the
a	l_ps without knowing what's really in there
a	is kinda hard i mean the beatles are showing on you know the front covers of each and then minutemen so
b	i think i'm going to stick to going halves the whole way i yeah that's what that's what feels right to me
a	one person is gonna have more items
a	but the value should still come out to be the same even though you have more items
b	because i don't want to disappoint your guy i don't want to disappoint my guy all the way
b	but what i won't be able to do is cut you into the storage the additional storage fees
a	that was the first thing that jumped out for you so you really could
a	i i can equally say you can pick what you like okay but go right ahead
b	why not i'm imagining this as an actual crate of records that we'll be able to split
a	right but then the moment i did this
a	now you have twenty one and i have
a	a ten a twenty
b	um i don't know if we can ask for are we allowed to ask for clarity on this
b	i'm just if it's a crate of records yeah
a	right
a	oh so according to your information these are different values
b	oh come on it's a crate of records no
b	i'm just trying to play it real i'm alex from alex's antiques if you could take a crate of records you could split a crate of records
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	i know actually someone who did do that it did not work out well
a	you know take a take a
b	i don't think i can i don't think i can do this it doesn't feel right to me it doesn't feel right
a	
b	uh huh
a	that's at least two case of records would be more beneficial to me
b	it doesn't matter to me at all
a	it's a good buy
b	not to me
a	yes right
b	i'm so puzzled by this why wouldn't you want to go halfsies oh right 'cause you don't think there is a halfsie
a	so uh i guess we uh came to conclude you were getting the painting and i'm getting the albums and we split one of these right
b	um three six so i guess
a	uh um
a	how about
a	one lamp and one of the records and then
b	no
a	i think i should do pretty pretty well there or with a collector i probably would do pretty well i probably do better on e bay with these
b	definitely not a deal
a	okay
b	five more minutes okay cool
a	hmm
b	try to wrap it up sure sure
a	so
a	now well the picture
a	it's uh it's art deco uh it's uh you know
a	not it's not really of much value to me but i would like to have that other box of records
a	if you want the two lamps which you know you can turn a profit on
b	you know what screw it i'll i'll do this
a	mhm
a	yeah
b	alright deal hey hey um
