W: Hello.
M: Oh, hello. I’m ringing about the advertisement in yesterday’s newspaper... the one for the bookcases. Can you tell me if they’re still available?
W: We’ve sold one, but we still have two available.
M: Right. Er... can you tell me a bit about them?
W: Sure, er... what do you want to know?
M: Well, I’m looking for something to fit in my study, so, well, I’m not too worried about the height, but the width’s quite important. Can you tell me how wide each of them is?
W: They’re both exactly the same size. Let me see, I’ve got the details written down somewhere. Yes, so they’re both 75 cm wide and 180 cm high.
M: OK, fine, that should fit in OK. And I don’t want anything that looks too severe... not made of metal, for example. I was really looking for something made of wood?
W: That’s all right, they are, both of them.
M: So, are they both the same price as well?
W: No, the first bookcase is quite a bit cheaper. It’s just ￡15.00. We paid ￡60.00 for it just five years ago, so it’s very good value, it’s in perfectly good condition. It used to be in my son’s room, but it could do with a fresh coat of paint...
M: Oh, it’s painted?
W: Yes. It’s cream at present, but as I say you could easily change that if you wanted... to fit in with your colour scheme.
M: Yes. I’d probably paint it white if I got it. Let’s see, what else... how many shelves has it got?
W: Six. Two of them are fixed, and the other four are adjustable, so you can shift them up and down according to the sizes of your books.
M: Right, fine. Well that certainly sounds like a possibility.
W: But the second one’s a lovely bookcase too. That’s not painted, it’s just the natural wood colour. It was my grandmother’s, and it must be getting on for eighty years old, it’s very good quality, they don’t make items like that nowadays.
M: So what are you asking for that one?
W: ￡95.00.
M: Oh, it’s a lot more than I wanted to pay. I didn’t really want to go above thirty or forty. Anyway, the first one sounds fine for what I need.
W: Just as you like.
M: So is it all right if I come round and have a look this evening, then if it’s OK I can take it away with me?
W: Of course. And I’m Mrs Blake... and the address is 41 Oak Rise.
M: Got it, so I’ll be round at about 7.00, if that’s all right. Oh, and my name’s Conor Field.
W: Fine. I’ll see you then, Conor. Goodbye!
M: Goodbye!
