<v Speaker 4>Probably Human Fireball the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Last It's got a very sound one here. He's emailed

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 2>in with this quite the story of this poor old.

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 4>Las Hi Christian.

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 2>I bought an iPad from marketplace and pretty sure was

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>stolen as the seller didn't.

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 4>Provide a code to my market That is dodgy ass, Christian.

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>It was my first Apple product, so I had no

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 2>idea how that works. So now I just have a

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and fifty dollars paperweight in my drawer. Police

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 2>couldn't do anything about it. Apple didn't want to try

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and take it back and find the owner. Have all

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the interactions with this seller and information I passed on

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>to police, if you'd like to go through it, no,

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 2>thank you.

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 4>Lars. Last, for some reason gets quite into the story.

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>I was a bit sick and tired the night I

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 2>picked it up, and I just want you to know

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 2>that wouldn't be taken in normally like this Last.

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 7>That was.

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 2>One thing we say on the show is that listener

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Last is not an easy mark and probably one of

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Melbourne's toughest guys to do.

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 4>The sharpest man in the world. Last. All right, then

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 4>we got Candy on the line. Good morning, Hi, how

<v Speaker 4>are you. I'm good. What is your marketplace story?

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 7>I sold a large glass table with smacking chairs on

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 7>Marketplace and the people that wrapped up I go from

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 7>the measurements and everything like that in an event so

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 7>they could make sure that they could get it right.

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 7>They wrapped up in a tiny hat bag. Engineer.

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, car, And I'm like, I gave you it's a wardrobe.

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.480

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 4>It's not good. It's not good. It's not going. It's

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 4>not going it. I then had to put the back

<v Speaker 4>of my car follow her to her house.

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.400

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 6>that I was saying, yeah, chair, I had to put

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 6>it on the lady's roof because she came in a

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 6>small park Lord. She couldn't even fold down the seats

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 6>at the back. She had baby seats in there.

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 7>Oh.

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 6>I was like, this is not going to fit. So

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 6>we had these rudimentary straps that we were trying to

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 6>put on it. And she said, I'm on the I'm

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:17.840
<v Speaker 6>in the next suburb, so I won't got in any

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 6>major highways.

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 4>All right, candies, thank you very much.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 2>She called, it's got to Belinda, Good morning, Belinda, good morning.

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 8>So I actually met my husband a marketplace.

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 2>This is incredible, So he did you buy it?

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 7>So?

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 8>I wanted to buy a round, four seat table for

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 8>me and my three kids, and I saw the ad

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 8>for fifty dollars with delivery, accepted it. Next thing I know,

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 8>he dropped it off, and over a week or two

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 8>we just messaged back and forth. And then one day

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 8>I went to the local ourselves with some girlfriends, just

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 8>in karaoke, and he walked in the door. Even though

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 8>it's never been to that, the four and the rest

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 8>is history.

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 4>To a few. All right, midnight stalker.

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 8>The best thing about it all was my birthday was

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 8>six weeks later, and for my birthday present, he put

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 8>my fifty dollars back in the card.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh, such a lovely story.

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 8>We now have a four seeded table for a family

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:23.359
<v Speaker 8>of seven.

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh, this is a lovely story. To tell me this.

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 4>Then so he drops the table off. And then who

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 4>sort oft was was there? Was there that instant connection?

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Did you feel some sort of chemistry?

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 2>There no defining from the table slammed or.

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 4>The kind of you getting married?

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 2>And there's three more spots around the table everyone's got.

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 4>A story like, yeah, there was just something about nothing.

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.359
<v Speaker 8>That there was no instant attraction, but there definitely was.

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 8>Uh once he was at the RSL.

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 2>So it's one was at the RSL you saw him

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 2>in a different light or something. Yeah, and so what

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 2>were the messages you said? Do you like a beg

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 2>of all beg and that table is great? Or did

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>he stand one going hey, hey, you getting on with

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>that table? How about a few more kids around him?

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 8>He did send that, he said, I hope the table's

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 8>well lucky. I dropped it off because someone smashed into

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 8>my car and into his van. So a week later

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 8>he accidentally messaged me, oh.

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 4>This guy, this guy Lars would never fall it for this.

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 8>And then I messaged back and I said, hey, how's

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 8>your band? Because I need a treadmill that needs to

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 8>be delivered. Are you able to do it if I

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 8>pay you? And he goes, I'll do it for free,

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 8>no worries. So he delivered a treadmill to me. To

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 8>be honest, I have never used the treadmill.

<v Speaker 3>And was there any sparks at the treadmill drop off?

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:52.920

<v Speaker 8>We spoke about the state of origin and yes, he

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 8>spoke to me the whole.

0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 4>Time he was at the game Romantic.

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 8>I look five years later together and you know, at

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:06.600

<v Speaker 8>Awesome, have a great one, guys.

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Christian Connell's show podcast Amanda, Hi guys, I love your show.

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Amanda.

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I was on Marketplace looking for a bookcase for my

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>grandkid's playroom. So organized. I found one sort it'd be

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>perfect organized. My husband and his work ran in a

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>trolley to go around and pick it up. And he

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 1>gets to the door and the late lady hands him

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the bookcase. It was a little bookcase that fitted Beatrice

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>pot of books.

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 4>In it, more like books.

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>He was showing barras he d me up and was

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 1>love and love.

0:08:59.600 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 7>You.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 4>Basically he could have fed that on the car seat.

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 1>The passenger said, yeah, oh she had it in a

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>plastic bag.

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 4>That's hilarious, Amanda, thank you. What's called no?

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 8>Thank you?

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 4>Well? Remember that fan for the cigarettes.

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 9>Steve, good morning, Good morning gang, Happy Thursday.

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 5>My first ever attempt at Marketplace.

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 9>We were renovating a pool a couple of years ago

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 9>and replacing it. And there were all these old brick

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 9>papers all around the pool, and there were over a

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 9>thousand of them, and this guy was going to charge

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 9>me in absolute fortune to take them out. And they

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 9>take him away, and my son said, I whack them

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 9>on marketplace.

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 5>People will buy.

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 9>Anything and literally put them on there for free. And

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 9>you had to pull them up yourself and take him

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 9>away yourself. They lasted fifteen minutes, and this poor couple

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 9>came around with an old toyter camera and removed over

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.559
<v Speaker 9>the next two days, over a thousand bricks from around

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 9>my pool. And I felt so guilty I had to

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 9>watch it. I had to give him a hand.

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 3>I felt terrible about watching the window.

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 9>Understating having a cold bee while he's bussing his absolute.

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Guts breaking work.

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 5>You know what made a hundred bucks though.

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 2>They gave you, they paid you one hundred bucks. So

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.559
<v Speaker 2>they get two days out a thousand bricks.

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 9>I said that, I said that were free, and he goes, no, no, no,

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 9>I can't do this for free, and he goes hundred

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 9>back again, No, no, mate, just.

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 5>Keep his cash. That's sorry, you're doing your favor.

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 9>He would have had to spend five hundred dollars on

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 9>a new set of suspension for the back of.

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:48.960
<v Speaker 4>His Carl Camry. Oh, Steve, that's a great story well told.

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 4>Thank you very much. Steve, have a great day.

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 5>Danks, guys, have a great day.
