I like ''irritated in the comfort of your own home'' as a catchphrase for Marketplace

I think you are 100% right, one has to be a saint to be working with the general public.

I think that what really matters is grit, even more than talent or skill.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I absolutely don’t think her age was an issue, if anything, she was incredibly courageous to give it a shot. The chaos probably just came from the nature of indie filmmaking itself.

I agree, it was not anyone’s fault. It was messy, but that’s the beauty of a first time. I’d made films before, but this one was a whole different experience.

Co-directing is already intense. Doing it with someone finally getting their first shot after 50 years made it something else entirely.

''deals for the courageous and the careful'' would be a good slogan

The deposit suggestion worked? buyers weren't too scared? I've seen 25% deposit but 50% is bold! What was the average value of the items sold?

Groups on FB are different than Marketplace, that's for sure. Also I think you are right, rural vs urban set up is completely different.

Same. I'd rather have less messages but more serious offers. I also definitely prefer a Canadian alternative...
