a	alright so i guess uh
a	uh how do you feel about
a	the locker with the items you wanna go halves
a	and
b	so you should
a	uh well
b	oh really
b	alright man well thank you thank you my friend
a	it
b	is that not possible
a	what's important to me
b	mm okay
a	um you know actually i've got my eyes on all of the items i'm not quite sure which direction i wanna go so we'd have to discuss before we uh invest with each other
a	on a who wants what
a	so um
a	it's kinda tough to find out um who who what's more important to you i mean it
b	hmm let's see
a	there's a couple ways there's a couple ways we could do it
a	i mean we could go halves
a	and knowing that i don't know what kind of contacts you have but
a	how we would uh
a	uh you know resell to get the our profit
a	you know we can go that way and to do a fifty fifty or is there certain items that you specifically want
a	well
b	
b	ah you got that right you might do well on these lamps 'cause people you know they they
b	you can't put a price tag on something that somebody likes that they want
a	we have a painting
b	of course not
a	a couple lamps and three crates of records that's what's in there
a	um
b	no well no
a	i'm not quite sure um what
a	holds the most value
a	that's why i think it'd be beneficial to go half and half in case
b	okay
b	the problem is the crate
b	and this
a	there is a loss it would be minimized by
a	us splitting the difference but
a	how do you think we should split up the items
b	it i don't feel that has no value
b	i'ma throw it in with you i don't want it
a	the lamps the lamps work for you huh um
a	so you'd be willing to part uh split the cost of the locker
a	if you could hold on to the two lamps
a	and that would mean i would get the painting and the crates of records
b	and
a	cool
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	done deal
b	mhm
a	simple as that that's exactly what i was hoping for
a	uh so it seems like uh this is a great arrangement
b	got a bank account got a credit card like i says i that's why i told you i gave my i gave that credit card to my sister
a	it didn't take ten minutes to figure that one out
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	i don't understand well
b	like this i could even put this in a combo and i sell the others
a	or yours like how far are we gonna how far are we gonna go with the bidding
b	you know you have the option to um
b	to trade your deal for the whatever yeah
a	well
b	okay so
b	we could work out something here so i i have no problem with uh
b	i mean that's have no problem having uh
b	so you have no value for these things over here
a	no that very smart
a	okay a very good thinking but so you and i both being intelligent and in this business for a while
b	next time we run into each other
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	for them albums
a	of course not
b	uh
a	but but we can make it we can make it look like
a	you and i or or like you know one of us
a	and maybe scare them off by us having a bidding war
a	at you know one at a time you know little no way no way i think we need to
b	how do you propose to uh divvy 'em up
a	uh uh
b	yeah um
a	oh i you know what
a	that makes sense you might want to
a	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
a	and why why is why am i so interested
b	i have two lamps and a crate
b	the three crates together are the most valuable item that we have
a	and then if we wanted to get back into it
a	so be it but keep in mind
a	we're going fifty fifty
b	
a	so our
a	bid is really half of what
a	we're doing and if we are confident with the product we're looking for
a	it should work out in the long run you know what i mean
b	that looks like it's been taken care of i don't see any dirt on the bottom the wood is not rotted
b	because you can basically tell how long it's been stored by the storage it's it uh by the thing it's in it's no there's no like
b	uh bug no no you know um cob spiderwebs and all that shit in there
a	do we stop
b	no that one right there that beatles album but yeah
a	it
b	i don't know
b	i know it's gotta be worth something right 'cause it has
b	um
b	you know it's a very i'm trying to think of the word right now
a	well um i would have to uh say
a	it's tough
a	it's tough um how well do you know your product is what it comes down to
a	and with the items that i have
a	i know that this is
a	not very uh collectible because it's been mass produced
a	and it there's could be many prints and i don't think it's as rare
a	but i am interested in the albums because i
a	uh have certain buyers
a	they're always looking for you know
a	collectible albums
b	and and the willingness to allow the other person to get something as well because everybody wants to come out with something
a	and uh to me
a	there's a certain point where i figure
a	enough's enough and
a	i guess not knowing you
a	uh as well as i know myself
a	you gotta make that decision for your for yourself
a	so um depending on where the bidding's at
b	and
b	well that's for me to decide you don't want it so i'm willing to take it so you know
a	we'd have to we'd have to come to agreement where we're like where hey where i'm in too deep
a	as a partner
a	and if i i thought it was valuable enough
a	we probably wouldn't be partners in the first place
b	uh that would be fine by me
a	we'll do some signals okay
b	uh it could be i don't know
a	all right and uh likewise i'll scratch the back of my head if i'm like
b	i i have a little bit of experience in this sort of thing and i'm gonna say that the lamp with the with the two lamps is gonna be not significantly more valuable but it is gonna be more valuable
b	although however there is something there is something that goes toward your argument um if you look at the the the reason that these lamps are very expensive is usually 'cause of the glassware
a	uh you're on your own after that
b	sounds good to me
a	you know what i mean
b	it do you i'm thinking because you do have somebody that deals with with art deco that you probably wouldn't have a harder time getting rid of the painting as well
a	so if the lamps you want the lamps that bad
a	this means you buy 'em yourself
b	i think so
a	no more fifty fifty all right sounds like a plan
b	is the albums
b	okay 'cause see i think between the albums
b	and the lamps i mean that
b	really is is why i've been coming here
b	so i could
b	take you said you take two
a	that's cool 'cause i wanted the records anyways
a	so that would've been a great
b	yes
a	yeah i got the records
a	all three
b	beatles like you said the beatles okay so
a	and the painting
a	i made a killing i killed everybody
a	him too according to my um
a	little sheet yeah
a	okay
b	or do we
