购物英语对话-Going to an Antique Shop(5)

A: I'm searching for an old music box.
B: You came to the right place. Any particular decade¹?
A: If you had a box made in the '20s, that would be nice.
B: We just got one in yesterday, so now we have six.
A: Would any of them have dancing figures?
B: Yes, we still have two boxes left that have dancing figures.
A: Oh, they're both so beautiful. Let me have this one, I think.
B: That one truly is a beautiful piece of work, isn't it?
A: One last question: Do you provide a warranty² with the box?
B: Oh, no. Everything we sell here is ‘as is.'
A: I guess I was asking for too much.
B: If it breaks down, maybe you can find a repairman on the Internet.
