a	well i'm not sure what's in there so
b	well i i think they didn't tell us the other person's name so i'm alex dobson
a	mhm
b	hey sam
a	uh mhm
a	okay
b	we've seen each other before but never really
a	that's whatever that's
b	so that's fun
b	so we've been going to these auctions we know how this works
b	we know what the price will be if we go in solo
b	and the benefits of going in together is
a	okay where to begin
b	half the price
a	uh i would have a tendency to believe that there's probably more beatles albums in there
b	and we divvy up the stuff
b	so that would mean it would make a lot of sense if
b	your business and my business had different specialties right
a	okay
b	i was specialized in one kind of thing and you were specialized in another
a	the music is valuable very high value
a	classics
a	and i think those lamps are high value
b	that would be most profitable
b	right so they've given us some idea
a	uh huh
b	what these things are worth right
a	no
b	well
a	want the lamps
b	right
a	so
b	no my understanding is all of these things are in the one storage unit
a	mhm
b	and so
b	we would if we bid on it together and won it together
a	we're good that yes fifty fifty
b	then
b	we can divvy up
b	and we can figure out you know half to you half to me or we can figure out
b	this is worth more to me so i'll take some of this and you can actually get more
b	so i don't think the all the blocks have the same value
a	because if i if i drive up your bids then
a	the whole thing goes up
a	but there's one guy there that wants to outbid me all the time
a	so i'm gonna have to suggest you make the offer
b	of
b	and i don't know if they have the same value for each of us or not that's
b	it's something they didn't tell us and i guess
a	mhm mhm
a	i mean so these you don't think may have more value
a	than the records
b	that's what we're gonna
b	figure out as we get to the
a	i'm right now just just looking to make a profit
a	yeah
b	the dickering part
b	um so
b	um i guess
b	we gotta jump in and start saying what looks
a	see let's see
b	yeah
a	oh okay
a	yeah we gotta ask her for a coin when she comes in you recorded oh wait a minute
b	you mean you want one crate of records
a	
b	that would be interesting um from
b	my understanding sam
b	you typically are interested in art deco
b	items like this painting
b	by or print of uh tamara the
a	yeah the beatles collection i would take that'll make up for them two uh them two albums uh collections you got over there you know
b	de lempika something like that funny name
a	yeah
b	and
b	and these marvelous
b	art deco lamps um
b	so it's kind of interesting
b	that you are interested in the crates of
b	records which are not art deco do you have a
b	an unusual buyer who's not in your usual field of
a	but um
b	goods
b	interesting well um
a	mhm
b	my
b	my interest is also in the records those are the
b	most interesting and um
b	so what do we wanna do
a	yeah
b	well that's an interesting idea
b	we could um
b	do you suppose we're allowed to talk about
a	in in the world and get it uh yeah
a	plus the way that uh internet is nowadays and and etcetera and stuff it
b	what things are worth to each of us
b	okay
b	because my
b	recollection of the story we read is that
b	if
b	either of us bought the whole unit on our own so we didn't reach agreement
b	we would end up with
b	the profit that equals the profit from one crate of old records
b	so that tells me
b	that by sharing
b	if we each get one box of records we get all this other stuff too
b	that has more value so that's the benefit of
b	sharing rather than going in solo right
a	see for me these would be my three
a	just like that
b	so so i guess one easy
b	point would be to get to that first level
b	where we each get one box of records
b	and then we talk about what to do with the rest of the stuff
a	so
a	the lamp could have a crack in the glass it could it could be something uh yes we are yes
b	what do you think
a	and it's
b	alright you wanna take one
a	this this is a lamp right
b	okay
b	so i'll take one too
b	so now we're left with the other stuff
b	and so we've each gotten one of what we most value
a	that's a great deal for you right
a	mhm mhm
a	sure
b	so what do we wanna get
b	what do we wanna
b	divvy up next and how do we wanna divvy it
a	uh something nostalgic like listening to vinyl records or that has a an old record player and
a	it'd probably be an older person
a	it wouldn't be anybody young because they
a	they didn't grow up with it
a	maybe somebody our age or a little bit older
b	mhm
a	no no i don't
b	mhm
a	so start
a	alright
b	okay
b	well that's an that's an interesting thought
b	um but let's let's
b	take a look at the other two items left on the table
b	we've got the the tamara
b	print and one more um
b	crate of records
b	so another possible scenario is we each get one lamp
b	and then we each get one of these
b	and for me
b	i'm not so sure of which lamp i prefer
b	so i wonder if
b	we could get to the third part of the discussion
b	which is which of these we get
a	okay
b	does that make sense
a	well there's only two so
b	well i guess let's do it this way
b	do you have a preference for which lamp you'd like
a	unless there's any real negotiating that we wanna do do you want any of this or
b	okay
b	um can i
b	get the
b	second box of records if you get that lamp
a	but those was my initial my initial choice you decided you wanted a lamp
b	would that be
b	or can we bundle it so
b	for example it would be bundled i get these
b	and you get those what do you think
a	yeah
b	okay
a	most and i will say most of the time
a	having i will tell you that
b	what would make it an even deal
a	that's good
b	okay
a	or for convenience sake
b	so what would be an even deal
a	how we gonna do the
b	two lamps on one side
b	tamara and the other box of records on the other
a	yeah these things could be could be uh pretty good pretty good center priced because these are old which you never know
b	uh huh
a	okay okay
a	right
b	but we're still each gonna be ahead of where we would be
b	if we were solo going solo right
a	uh
a	quite frankly i don't know which one's worth more
b	'cause we've already
b	we've already met that deal and there's still more value left
a	so
b	in the pot
b	so well flipping a coin might be an idea
b	um
b	i guess we don't have enough information to know if this equals that right
a	that and the lamps are beautiful
a	you know i think that each of them has a value that i could
b	or do we
a	where this is and plus this is a lot older than these
b	hmm
b	interesting
a	because i'm comfortable with with the way you're doing it that you're allowing just that because this is middle of the road i can make money out of it and this is a bonus as far as i'm concerned
b	that's that's that's the way you read your
a	mm we can start from here on
b	instruction set
b	hmm yeah i am
b	i'm not so clear on that so
b	so would that be okay if you got those and i got these
a	i'll be negotiating there
b	do you think would that be
a	there's
b	equitable or beneficial to you
a	mhm exactly
b	okay
a	uh alright man so uh
a	let's see we got six items
b	i think so
a	who wants what who needs what
b	we got a deal alright
a	you do you go to vegas much
b	so let's call angela
a	mhm well what about this
a	what about this
b	did that buzz do you suppose
a	i think it'd be a fair trade
b	oh it did
b	yeah yeah
a	okay the one with the okay
a	i don't know what that really means but okay that's good i think i can handle that
