to know Dale and Kelly better we can say
0:38
that Dale leak was not really a
0:40
full-time Legend at all in fact he was a
0:43
freelance landscaper and had been with
0:45
Kelly Greaves for over 10 years
0:47
because they had known each other for so
0:49
long they knew exactly each other's
0:51
shortcomings and other character traits
0:53
Kelly knew her boyfriend was a real
0:55
prankster and luckily she enjoyed a life
0:58
full of jokes while some women may find
1:01
his constant jokes hurtful
1:03
it was completely normal for Kelly and
1:05
she can do some of it herself
1:07
for some couples a breakup would be a
1:09
given if you're a significant other
1:11
humiliates you in public but for leaks
1:14
and Greaves This Is How They continue
1:16
their relationship
1:17
we try to humiliate each other but in a
1:20
fun way she explains he jokingly put
1:23
Kelly up for sale on the eBay auction
1:25
side thinking that this would make for
1:27
lots of fun times and make them laugh
1:29
out loud not knowing he would have the
1:31
last laugh leaks did not just put his
1:34
wife online but paid a lot of attention
1:36
to the advertisement he described his
1:38
girlfriend as a miniature collectible
1:40
and compared her to a used car because
1:43
of her constant whining noise and the
1:46
fact that the rear has a little leak but
1:48
nothing that can't be fixed after
1:50
posting his girlfriend online he got
1:53
ready for their dinner party as he
1:55
prepared for their Night Out leaks
1:56
couldn't contain his excitement
1:58
he couldn't contain his laughter and was
2:01
constantly checking his phone not really
2:03
sure of a reaction he showed her the ad
2:05
and read the related description
2:08
we're not sure how anyone would take it
2:10
to be described as a constant nag
2:12
including a leaky rear end fortunately
2:15
for leaks Greaves found the ad just like
2:18
him hilarious
2:19
she couldn't put her phone down and read
2:22
the description over and over it also
2:24
stated that her body was reasonably neat
2:27
but showed signs of wear up close
2:29
Greaves thought it was so funny that she
2:31
even posted the ad on her own Facebook
2:34
she wanted to show it to her friends and
2:35
wrote look what I have to go through now
2:37
on the way to dinner leeks and Graves
2:40
constantly check their phones everyone
2:42
who knew the couple thought the ad was
2:44
hilarious leaks was happy that his
2:46
girlfriend saw the joke and Grieves was
2:48
happy that she got likes and comments on
2:50
her Facebook post then the couple
2:52
checked the auction themselves
2:55
couple arrived at the restaurant and
2:57
enjoyed their dinner for a moment they
2:59
had completely forgotten about the
3:01
auction
3:01
Greaves assumed that no one but her
3:03
Facebook friends would see the eBay ad
3:06
all of a sudden however leak's phone
3:08
started buzzing and gradually it buzzed
3:11
more and more as he checked his phone he
3:13
looked at his girlfriend but he didn't
3:15
tell her how much had been bid for her
3:17
the bids are skyrocketing
3:19
committing War had begun and leak's plan
3:22
backfired leaks considered what might
3:24
happen if the bidding continued should
3:26
he really sell his girlfriend was there
3:29
a possibility that these bidders were
3:30
jokingly placing a bid and how could he
3:33
get out of here
3:34
still the couple thought they should do
3:36
what they usually do and the couple
3:38
started to see the funny side of it when
3:41
the couple checked the progress of the
3:42
auction the next morning they saw that
3:44
the post already had 81 000 views and
3:47
that the highest bid was a whopping 119
3:50
thousand dollars
3:52
bids came from all corners of the world
3:54
including Europe Australia and the
3:57
United States
3:58
Dale League who lives in Colchester was
4:01
inundated with hundreds of messages from
4:03
potentially interested buyers many of
4:06
them tried to be as witty as leak
4:07
himself in asking their questions some
4:10
asked if they could take her for a test
4:11
drive While others asked for close-up
4:14
photos of the Bodywork
4:15
fortunately the couple saw the funny
4:17
side of it and continued reading with a
4:20
smile
4:20
at one point I got a message every 30
4:23
seconds I actually got hundreds of
4:25
messages leak said we received a lot of
4:29
funny messages from people through eBay
4:31
somebody really liked the most
4:33
leaks particularly enjoyed a post that
4:35
read
4:36
can you tell me how many previous owners
4:39
she's had and how is her maintenance
4:41
history we're just wondering if if leaks
4:44
really didn't mind people talking about
4:46
his girl like that all of the couple saw
4:48
the funny side of it eBay itself
4:50
couldn't help but laugh
4:52
the ad was removed after a day according
4:55
to the auction site it was against their
4:57
policy to sell human body parts and
4:59
remains in other words eBay thought the
5:02
ad was an unsavory joke about human
5:04
trafficking
5:05
they told me I couldn't sell a human
5:07
being leak said despite this the couple
5:10
were relieved that the auction was over
5:12
though Greaves was curious leaks then
5:15
went on to say Kelly turned to me and
5:17
asked what price would you have sold me
5:19
for would you have been mad if someone
5:22
else had bought me I had to think about
5:24
my answer for a while he joked to his
5:26
girlfriend I'm not going to lie I would
5:29
have been a little sad to see you go it
5:31
wouldn't have been so sad because I
5:33
could be crying in my Ferrari or
5:35
Lamborghini
5:36
Opposites Attract or so they say but in
5:39
the case of Kelly and Dale it was their
5:42
11th sense of humor that made them the
5:44
perfect couple some women would find
5:46
these remarks by leaks mean but for
5:48
Greaves it was the Dale she knew and
5:50
loved
5:52
Graves said she has developed a thick
5:54
skin through her own company she had
5:56
known Dale for a long time of course if
5:58
it had offended me I in our relationship
6:01
would never have gotten this far she
6:03
said according to leaks his true friend
6:06
was not very impressed with the bids at
6:08
first but as the auction progressed she
6:11
became very curious about what amount it
6:13
would ultimately be
6:14
Kelly even told her boyfriend that she
6:16
was glad he put her up for sale online
6:18
she said if the new owner had that much
6:21
money she could have had a better
6:23
quality of life although it almost went
6:25
wrong leaks reassured her I wouldn't
6:28
sell you and I love you dearly
6:30
unfortunately not everyone saw the funny
6:33
side of leak's joke
6:34
many people criticized his action
6:36
suggesting that he supported human
6:38
trafficking and that there must be
6:40
problems in their relationship grieve
6:42
said that's not what was going on but I
6:45
can understand their point of view
6:47
Dale is not a politically correct person
6:49
at all and if you are easily offended
6:52
you better stay away from him
6:54
fortunately for Dale he knows all too
6:56
well that he's found the right woman
6:58
she couldn't have a relationship with me
7:00
if she couldn't take a joke he told CTV
7:03
News
7:05
this is just a normal day and a life
7:07
with me I do things like this all the
7:09
time
7:10
aside from Greaves describing him as a
7:12
naughty kid she admits he's been a great
7:15
father to her kids from a previous
7:16
relationship Dale meanwhile is thankful
7:20
he wasn't kicked off eBay
