Todd: Hey, Mark, I heard that you might be interested in buying a computer.
Mark: That's right. Yeah, I'm interested in buying a Mac computer because I've never used Mac before.
Todd: Well, that is actually perfect because I have two MacIntosh laptops and I'm selling one of them.
Mark: You're kidding.
Todd: Yeah.
Mark: How much?
Todd: Well, I'll sell it to you for 20,000 Japanese yen, so that's almost 200 dollars. That's a pretty good deal. But there's a problem with it.
Mark: What's the problem?
Todd: The problem is the disc drive is broken, so sometimes if you put a DVD into the disc drive it doesn't work.
Mark: OK.
Todd: Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't work.
Mark: Well, that's not too bad because I have another computer that I can watch DVD's on.
Todd: OK.
Mark: How long have you had it?
Todd: I've had it for about three years, and it works great, like it's great for the internet. It's great for lots of things. I just unfortunately accidentally broke the DVD because I had a problem. I couldn't get a DVD out and I foolishly tried to get it out the wrong way, so but it still works. There is one other problem. It has a power cord and I lost the original power cord for it.
Mark: Right, OK, so I need to buy a new power cord.
Todd: You need to buy a new one.
Mark: And how much will that set me back?
Todd: That will probably cost you about 6,000 yen.
Mark: 6,000 yen.
Todd: Yeah, so it's not too bad.
Mark: So that new Mac that you got over there, how much was that new?
Todd: If you buy it new, well this is an older edition, but now they're about 100,000 yen. They're actually quite a good deal. That's why I'm selling it so cheap because you can buy a new Mac for pretty cheap.
Mark: Right. OK. Sounds a good deal. Can I build websites on that one?
Todd: Yeah. You can pretty much do anything. It has a lot of capabilities. It's very easy, and if you like the TV show the Sopranos, I'll throw in a bunch of DVD's as well.
Mark: Really.
Todd: So you can watch them for free.
Mark: Right, so 20,000 yen and how many DVD's?
Todd: Well, there is a set of four so there's probably, I don't know, there's four DVD's but there's probably 18 episodes of the show the Sopranos.
Mark: Right.
Todd: It's a good show.
Mark: OK. That sounds like we may have a deal.
Todd: Cool.
Mark: Yeah. Let me talk to the girlfriend about it. See if she wants to buy a Mac because it's her money, too. Maybe I need to borrow some money off her.
Todd: OK.
Mark: And then we can do the deal.
Todd: OK, sounds good. Alright, thanks Mark.
