127
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: This is incredible, So he did you buy it?

128
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 7: So?

129
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 8: I wanted to buy a round, four seat table for

130
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 8: me and my three kids, and I saw the ad

131
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 8: for fifty dollars with delivery, accepted it. Next thing I know,

132
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 8: he dropped it off, and over a week or two

133
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 8: we just messaged back and forth. And then one day

134
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 8: I went to the local ourselves with some girlfriends, just

135
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 8: in karaoke, and he walked in the door. Even though

136
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 8: it's never been to that, the four and the rest

137
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 8: is history.

138
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 4: To a few. All right, midnight stalker.

139
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 8: The best thing about it all was my birthday was

140
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 8: six weeks later, and for my birthday present, he put

141
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 8: my fifty dollars back in the card.

142
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: Oh, such a lovely story.

143
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 8: We now have a four seeded table for a family

144
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 8: of seven.

145
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 4: Oh, this is a lovely story. To tell me this.

146
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 4: Then so he drops the table off. And then who

147
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: sort oft was was there? Was there that instant connection?

148
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 4: Did you feel some sort of chemistry?

149
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:40,400

Speaker 2: And there's three more spots around the table everyone's got.

152
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 4: A story like, yeah, there was just something about nothing.

153
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 8: That there was no instant attraction, but there definitely was.

154
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,000

Speaker 4: This guy, this guy Lars would never fall it for this.

166
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 8: And then I messaged back and I said, hey, how's

00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 8: your band? Because I need a treadmill that needs to

168
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 8: be delivered. Are you able to do it if I

169
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 8: pay you? And he goes, I'll do it for free,

170
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 8: no worries. So he delivered a treadmill to me. To

171
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 8: be honest, I have never used the treadmill.

172

Speaker 3: And was there any sparks at the treadmill drop off?

173
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 9: Yeah?

00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 8: spoke to me the whole.

176
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: Time he was at the game Romantic.

177
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 8: I look five years later together and you know, at

00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:06,600

Speaker 4: Thank you, Amanda.

185
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: I was on Marketplace looking for a bookcase for my

186
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: grandkid's playroom. So organized. I found one sort it'd be

187
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: perfect organized. My husband and his work ran in a

188
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: trolley to go around and pick it up. And he

189
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: gets to the door and the late lady hands him

190
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: the bookcase. It was a little bookcase that fitted Beatrice

191
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: pot of books.

192
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: In it, more like books.

193
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: He was showing barras he d me up and was

194
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: love and love.

Speaker 7: You.

196
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 4: Basically he could have fed that on the car seat.

197
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: The passenger said, yeah, oh she had it in a

198
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: plastic bag.

199
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,920

Speaker 8: Thank you?

201
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: Well? Remember that fan for the cigarettes.

202
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 9: Steve, good morning, Good morning gang, Happy Thursday.

203
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 5: My first ever attempt at Marketplace.

204
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 9: We were renovating a pool a couple of years ago

205
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 9: and replacing it. And there were all these old brick

206
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 9: papers all around the pool, and there were over a

207
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 9: thousand of them, and this guy was going to charge

208
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 9: me in absolute fortune to take them out. And they

209
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 9: take him away, and my son said, I whack them

210
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 9: on marketplace.

211
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 5: People will buy.

212
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 9: Anything and literally put them on there for free. And

213
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 9: you had to pull them up yourself and take him

214
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 9: away yourself. They lasted fifteen minutes, and this poor couple

215
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 9: came around with an old toyter camera and removed over

216
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 9: the next two days, over a thousand bricks from around

217
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 9: my pool. And I felt so guilty I had to

218
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 9: watch it. I had to give him a hand.

219
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: I felt terrible about watching the window.

220
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 9: Understating having a cold bee while he's bussing his absolute.

221
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: Guts breaking work.

222
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 5: You know what made a hundred bucks though.

223
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: They gave you, they paid you one hundred bucks. So

224
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 2: they get two days out a thousand bricks.

225
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 9: I said that, I said that were free, and he goes, no, no, no,

226
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 9: I can't do this for free, and he goes hundred

227
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 9: back again, No, no, mate, just.

228
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 5: Keep his cash. That's sorry, you're doing your favor.

229
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 9: He would have had to spend five hundred dollars on

230
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 9: a new set of suspension for the back of.

231
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 4: His Carl Camry. Oh, Steve, that's a great story well told.

232
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Steve, have a great day.
