Anytime someone repeatedly says “Trust Me”... that’s usually when I start not trusting them

[@DougHNuts-ee3vn]

I see a politician who has dominated the news and late night comedy shows for over 2 years now who says that daily LOL!

[@RCichard]

Was thinking the same thing! This guy bugged me so much, i started to make comments about his contradictions and double talk... except before i got done writing that comment he started with another line of BS so ridiculous i had to comment that one next!!! One of those guys who will say ANYTHING to get you to buy it, even if hes full of BS and spitting lies through his teeth.

[@oldmanballer5088]

Exactly

[@Alsatiagent]

Commander Tom. Both of those guys made it obvious that they did trust each other. Sometimes it's little more than a figure of speech.

[@codygooch510]

Dudes a tweaker through and through

[@Kenthis15]

I couldnt deal with a guy like this, whenever they get emotional (he said he was begging Pete and that Pete was hurting him) I immediately cut out. People like that are like arguing with an ex, a huge headache and never really worth the time.

[@DrMurdercock]

the man made his money though

[@costafinkel]

This guy is the real deal, sweet talker thru and thru. I bet if he took a dump in the floor, he would go “look at this turd, one of a kind, you won’t find this elsewhere, trust me!”

[@danyaelwilliams5741]

😂 omg

[@jonny5714]

Or his turd would suddenly have a mouth and start trying to sell everything around it

[@johnreed2278]

L O L !!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@TheCozypillow]

I feel like that guy would try to sell you his used toothbrush lol

[@chachingfm]

Brand On hahah so funny

[@virgiltibbs6971]

He tried to sell him his coat for a second. Lol. That was classic!

"Pete you are making a fool out of me" No sir you are making a fool of yourself. I respect your patience with this man Pete. Keep up the great content.

[@shadjuice]

Love the intense negotiations. Great vid

[@mixinmark1]

Damn Pete, you created a monster. Could see the frustration on your face

[@DougHNuts-ee3vn]

Created a monster LMAO!!! That's what happens when the seller starts doing his own price research...yet he doesn't want to do the listing himself but wants a bigger piece of the pie. I would have told him..."You can sell it to me and take the instant cash with no after sale issues or you can sell this stuff yourself on ebay and when you see all the hassles involved, get back to me."

[@williamlee266]

This guy Daryl is a trip. I love how he always takes Pete through the steps to milk as much as he can.. Daryl: This stuff is great! Pete: Great for what? Daryl: Are you kidding me? Check the completed listings. ( hilarious) The best part of the video is when Daryl tried to sell Pete his own jacket before he left. This guy is a legend! Thanks for sharing with us Pete!

[@DrMurdercock]

He knows how to negotiate. And he isn't afraid. This man, we can learn some shit by watching him haggle. He beats a pawnbroker, hardly ANYONE can manage that shit

[@ronnyt101]

@@DrMurdercockyou’re Darryl just admit it

[@HobbyTimeSeattle]

That clown is a typical swap meet hustler. smh

[@benthebartender]

wants eBay prices , but wont sell on eBay..

[@DougHNuts-ee3vn]

Exactly! Not just that, hauling it home, sorting and researching model #s etc., cleaning/inspecting/lubing/reconditioning, then selling, paying paypal/ebay/postal fees...shipping materials, time spent taking pics, printing labels, taking to post office, then getting scammed by the buyer on ebay and all for nought...it's not so easy when delving into all the nuances of selling on ebay!

[@WSFM_Rex]

Doug H. Nuts damn u hit them all in one comment. Impressive

[@andreah6175]

He don't have credit to I bet.

[@andreah6175]

@@DougHNuts-ee3vn I concur, right on! Every seller should add that to their description who accepts offers. Too many newer sellers flooding the market devaluing even less common finds. It has been a disappointing venture not at all what I envisioned. Much of which is learn as you go but for all the efforts, the reward ain't worth the payout. Feels more like being out looking for cans taking up space most days.

[@leemiller4856]

Awesome raw footage of two seasoned professionals negotiating!!! Being in Chicago will make you a hustler. Either that or you'll get taken advantage of. Really cool scene imo!

[@dianewallace5627]

How can you look with this guy jumping around and talking, talking, talking? Would drive me crazy!!

[@Glock30Fan]

Pete you got giant brass balls. Arguing with Chicago boys in back alleys, garages and basements. I hope you don't end up on the nightly news.

[@Charming_lil_spuder]

This poor dude definitely is on some kind of speed.

[@lorita3871]

You got to bless to be blessed. And Pete you straight up are blessed. You a good man. ♥️🙏🏻🧡💜💙💯

[@patrciaclemons8183]

That guy should take any offer you give him. Open that garage up, all the junk he's holding onto

[@tuxpowerpc]

God I want to bang my head against the wall listening to him. Haha! With all due respect, if Daryl or is it Darrell, thinks he's so educated on completed listings (never mentioned sold's,we can only assume he meant sold's), he needs to simply sell it on Ebay. Selling for as fast buck to you comes at a price. He also has no overhead by comparison to you Pete, you are definitely a patient man!

[@EpistemeUM]

You are so much more patient than I would have been! Hey it's ok to wheel and deal, but that guy got too pissy and insulting. With 4 hours in there, I really hope you got enough goodies to even make it worth your time. Good man not burning him at the end of it, not good to burn bridges but I would have really struggled to resist! That's what we're here for lol

[@littlehose495]

i hate dealing with people like Darrel. those types of people act like their stuff is gold lmfao

[@eddya.3776]

That's part of the game. If he acted like his stuff was junk he'd make no money. You gotta respect both sides of the haggle.

[@Pauldjreadman]

Of course lol

[@littlehose495]

@@eddya.3776 I guess so but the fact that he wanted 400$ for the two tables worth of stuff I mean c'mon lol.

[@Cindy7777777]

OMG, Daryl is on speed for sure lol lol He made me nervous, listening to him and watching him like, pace back and forth like he couldn't be still for a minute lol You made some good deals for sure. He really had some cool stuff!!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@imjody]

Omg, this is one of my favorite videos BY FAR, Pete!! PLEASE, do show us your negotiation skills once again sometime very soon, my man!! Thank yo so much for sharing this with us. Cheers to you. :) Congrats, again, on 100k. You'll be receiving your Play Button in several week's time. Very exciting. I say definitely put it in the shop, by the way. Somewhere visible to all, at the front desk probably.

[@CraigslistHunter]

Thank you for watching Jody. Cheers !!

[@stugotz986]

Gotta Love Pete’s patience. Especially with a Slo-Mo like Darryl.

[@RCichard]

31:00 - Buyer: "Ill mee you in the middle, $250 for it all" Seller: (shocked state) 'WHAT?!? Thats not in the middle?!?!" Buyer: "What do you mean, i said $200, you said $300 thats what in the middle means" hahahah

[@bhwoodyard]

Love seeing what Darryl finds! Seems like he had less Antiques than in the past...Great video Pete!!

[@KPTrainham]

Jesus Pete, you're killing him! 😂 Spent 4 hours with Darrell. 3 of those hours just trying to get a price out of him. 👍🍻

[@denisespicks122]

Okay Pete that guy would drive me nuts!! No way......I would have left that house 5 minutes in. He is CRAZY

[@fredvalencia2205]

Peter was eye balling just the video games hes so transparent im glad that guy told him he had to buy the other junk to get to the game table he should have stuck to 300 for everything.

[@imgonnapackit]

That tube radio was cool!

[@Tommy-fh5tr]

I love that you posted the negotiating even with a normal person/ friend you do business with the negotiating can be a hassle sometimes. People should see that sometimes you gotta take care of them and make them walk away happy this time for it to come full circle. Reselling has its downsides and sometimes telling people what you will pay doesn't make them the happiest but you have to make money. Thanks Pete for the content as always

[@kentdaigle]

I couldn't deal with Trashman.....OMG. no way.

[@Personal-Opinion-]

😂 I loved the "im not doing it" 😂 he definitely knows what he's selling. 😂😂😂 Agreed Pete is the best 👍Loved the video thanks for sharing

@@satoshinakamoto3890 not sure what you mean by that but since I was with my husband for 31 years, married for 28 when he died of pancreatic cancer , and he was absolutely nothing like that douche, I will chalk your idiotic comment up to you being a sexist ass. Or maybe you're his boyfriend and I hurt your feelings?

[@averagejoe9436]

@@uwsupergirl don't waste anymore effort replying to him. ... If I was Pete I woulda walked out after asking 3 times. Darryl is not the brightest bulb and is a gouger.

Damn straight. I've met a few old timer garbage men in my days picking and the stories they tell me of the Civil War medals, Victorian furniture, pedal cars, Harley Davidsons and Indian motorcycles, things everyone wishes they could find today. Just laying in a pile on the curb. Or in the dump one guy I know worked there when he was young. Nobody wanted old stuff back then.

[@DrMurdercock]

my uncle just found a brand new 60 inch Sony TV sealed in the box in the trash. The shit he finds is literally insane. People will also run out and try to give him shit, one woman gave him a old VW Beetle which ran and was in great shape, he still drives it

[@thepicker9079]

Great video Pete, I have multiple friends and people i do business with on a regular basis that reminds me of this guy, one thing i make sure to do is treat them fairly and pay them sometimes more then usual because this is the type of guy who will stay loyal to you and sell you stuff regularly and you never know what he will one day have that you will score huge on. Making deals as a reseller can be tricky because you never want to loose money or pay to much for a item but on the other side of the coin finding people who consistently bring you good stuff on a regular basis is rare. Great content brother keep the videos rolling

AMEN. Thanks for watching. Cheers !!

God, the hustling, brings back some memories as I’ve been on both sides of the deal soooooo many times. We all know he’d be happy with 2 for both tables… lol I’d have taken the silver canon for 15 & left the black rebel, I’d have taken the combis and audio stuff also. The games, I’d have a proper sort through & decide but the DS’s I’d do 15-20, the sims are basically worthless esp w/o the codes so I’d have done 3 for all of them. The other stuff, idk. It’s different here in the UK and I only really deal with electronics.
