TV commentator Trade Me feedback
Grant Nisbett
Really really efficient, but I still don't know how you fitted 'snapped up' into the conversation 23 times in the five minutes I was there. Would trade again A+
Mark Richardson
Trade was OK I suppose, but it was a bit weird being given hand sanitiser through the massive metal gates before being allowed to enter the property, you wouldn't even shake hands. Average trade
Justin Marshall
Thanks for coming and collecting the BBQ Justin, but jeez you scared the shit out of the horses with that YES BOY thing, maybe pay for the courier next time 😭
Keith Quinn
I love the NZ Rugby history book but after our chat I don't feel l need to read it A+
Simon Doull
No problem with the trade but the climate change change stuff was weird C+
Jeff Wilson
It was great that you brought Christian Cullen and Andrew Merthens along but I'm still not sure why there needed to be so many of you or what you were all doing 😳😳😳. Would trade again
Murray Mexted
I always wondered what happened to you, and selling dreamcatchers kind of makes sense A+
Thanks for reading - Richard
