Doing the Right Thing: I Went Above and Beyond with Extra Cash

[@ZupercreteCreations]

So happy he got to you safely Pete! We knew the packaging was over kill but we didn’t want him to break! We’re so glad you like him. You’re the best! Your next gift is coming soon!

[@onemorething100]

You know he just re-sells all the gifts.

[@genghis_connie]

My parents lived in McHenry until 2012. I wonder if he was there back then. Such a fun gift! How nice of you!

[@ZupercreteCreations]

@@genghis_connie I think he was! He was for sure there by 2015 because that’s when we started going. Thank you for your kind words!

[@ZupercreteCreations]

@@onemorething100 We think he’s going to keep this one but he’s more than welcome to sell it if he changes his mind 😆

[@bethewalt7385]

​@@onemorething100uh, yeah, duh, who thinks differently? Unless it's something he really digs or collects, who wouldn't?

[@jeffomalley100]

Your a good man Pete for taking care of that gentleman. He seems like a good kid and you know he'll be back with some more really cool stuff.

[@davestevens4263]

No one does what Pete did , & it speaks volumes.

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

@@davestevens4263 What I don't get it, how did Peter not get the price right the first time for the turtle? I mean he shows he does his research, so why did he have to call the guy back and go on camera and show that he gave him more money? I like Peter, not a big knock, but he seems to get the value right the first time, he's pretty thorough.

[@josealqueres]

Kid that sold you the ninja turtle seems so chill and nice guy. Great that you did what you did. Also the frog statue looks amazing!!!

[@ncprimetime]

yea i wonder how much the frog goes for? i can see people asking to buy them in his store

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

[@LostRams]

@@CinHalCedHerChance There could be a million reasons. Sometimes you just get the value wrong, he might have looked at the wrong figurine.

[@madx80h]

You’re probably right. There is the same toy but way smaller so maybe saw the smaller toy online at first.

[@jdttp]

Neat gesture at the end where pete gave him extra money. Before pete had a following on here I use to go and bring stuff in and he never hesitated to give me a few extra bucks(even before all of the cameras).

[@bethewalt7385]

Paying someone fair market value(resale considered) isn't EXTRA MONEY, it's fair price, HELLO!?!!

[@steadyshakey6599]

​@@bethewalt7385Hello

[@jdttp]

@@bethewalt7385 You missed my point. Then "sell it yourself" as they say. My point is you can tell that guy already had a price in mind on what he wanted to take home for the Ninja turtle toy, it really could have just ended there and Pete makes more money. He's been doing that long before KZbin, as I am sure people will say he does it for the camera.

[@ipcamtalk4314]

@@bethewalt7385 you missed that he already made the deal....

[@ToppsBaseballRacks]

Pete said , ""Man, are you happy with anything?" .🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying!

I love the guy that wanted to check whether his ears still worked, left and right.

Ha ha good point 😅

[@huemungus5934]

I love the chill vibe of this channel. Can have it on in the background all day while working. Always something fun and interesting going on in your shop!

[@skullsaintdead]

25:00 Bless, I could see that guys heart break a little that he parted with a pretty expensive figurine for so little, but it's admirable you went out of your way to tell him how much you'd likely be getting for it and give him a top up. Good way to keep easy-going, loyal customers around! Also, it's awesome you feature other creators on your channel (the cute frog fisherman, handmade no less!).

[@Pauldjreadman]

If I recall the guy with figure is the same guy that brought in those superhero lunchboxes?

[@skullsaintdead]

@@Pauldjreadman Yep!

[@mikefieselman]

The lady in the video seems very nice. Sorry for your loss, i hope you're smiling every so often from the happiness the people around you give. Thank you to everyone for being apart of this video, i really appreciate you're company and openess to helping my man pete produce these amazing videos. Tytyty! That frog statue is cool af lol

[@Toastyone1]

I always love the lofi beats that you feature in the transitional video where you're showcasing some of the newer merchandise. Happy New Year everyone!

[@xAjido]

Acts of kindness are a big reason I watch this channel, there's tons of other channels if you want to see people trying to make money any way they can or shopping for vintage items, but good souls like Pete are as rare as some of the items in his shop. Good on him for hooking that guy up with additional money for the Turtles figure when he absolutely didn't have to.

[@kymjoneserb2214]

I was watching you the other day and you were reading comments. Someone said “how does it feel to rip people off”. My heart broke. We watch you everyday and you are one of the most honest sellers we’ve seen. We appreciate you and really enjoy watching you. Thank you, Ric and Kim. From PA

[@ronyoung4093]

Great job on giving the kid an extra $80. It was about a month ago I suggested to you to consider doing a clip like that, showing your honesty as a business man

[@TidTech]

Agreed. Love this. 🫡 Pete.

[@Kryptonian4449]

26:28 That TM Ninja Turtle is awesome! 👍

[@EPC]

25:49 respect for giving him extra money for that turtle!

[@mikewebb7807]

That guy with the ninja turtle, I recognize him. He is the gentleman that brings you in vintage lunchboxes and stuff. So cool to see him back.

[@GeoRell]

Wow, watching you give that man extra money like that. Wow. You’re gonna prosper. I wish you all the success. You deserve it

[@Solo-Road]

Thumbs up and giving your customer the extra $80; you're a good man.

[@brianselt291]

Doing the right thing, whether we are watching or not, is always best. I try to be better every day.

[@bradsswinton]

2:31 Ruby has been banished to the back of the store and she knows it. 🤣🤣

[@christopherleusner4385]

She is on the outs at the shop that’s because females don’t know how to act. And ruby knows the deal. If only animals could speak like humans for one day could you imagine the amount of things that would be found out😂😂😂

[@crosswalklarry]

As someone who did retail security, I would bet the guy who notified you that the skull pins were stolen, stole them.

[@russellsacobie7364]

My thoughts exactly. His very subtle way of saying, "haha - I got them".

[@firstofthemonthclub4491]

People tell on themselves

[@EPC]

He 100% knows that the guy stole them...but he is just super kind and didn't wanna make a scene...

[@kevinmach730]

Reasoning?

[@keithsmith4432]

Pete...You did the Right thing and Paid it Forward , Who knows maybe that guy will be back and Reward you for your Kindness but if not God will !!!

[@Flamableninja]

You guys make working at a pawn shop look like the most fun and interesting job in the world.

How generous and honest from your part. I salute, respect and hold in high regard people who act like you did with the young man: Blessings.

[@ReiHost]

I've been using Sony wireless ear buds for years. It's common for one to get disconnected at some point in their lifespan. Put them back in their case, hold both buttons until they reset and they will work again.

[@bearhardcorepicker]

I used to have some shoplifters of various types come in to the store, from kleptomaniacs who stole little things (radio knobs, lamp burners, and other pieces of things) to professionals who were like magicians and you just could not catch them in the act. That was when I had a shop in the capital city, but now I am in a town of 400...so there is very little shoplifting, if any, that happens now. Good of you to ante up more for the TMNT piece, I do that as well.

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

At the ReStores in my city, they keep the stove knobs behind the counter; otherwise people steal them, apparently. Lowlifes.

[@jeffomalley100]

That frog is the coolest thing ever.

[@AnthonyRufo-rc1zm]

Maybe review the security camera & record the video onto your phone. The next time the guy comes in, confront him with the video of him stealing the pins on the coat. We do it all the time at the liquor store where I work, we show the person the video & give them the option to pay for what he or she stole or we call the cops.

GM Electromotive built engines for locomotives. They were 2 stroke diesels with various cylinder sizes. We had two at a plant I worked at running generators. They were both 20 cylinders. Back in the day snap on and other high end tool companies would make custom tools for companies and put there logos on them. We had some of the electromotive specialty tools for maintenance on the engines.

That was a pretty slick move not looking up that vintage Snap On torque wrench. She would have wanted more for it had you looked it up on the spot. It's a given that tool is worth something just by what it is. Give her a couple bucks and look it up later $$$ nicely done.

You should offer the kid a job! I'm sure he would be great in your store and seems to have a little social anxiety. Would be great for him working with you part time or something!

[@jeffomalley100]

They did that with the address so no matter what it'll be shipped to your address. But usually people do that with regular mail because you could get away without putting a stamp on an envelope and when they look at the return address it'll be yours so they'll send it you thinking they're sending it back to the original sender lol. I don't recommend trying it though because messing with the mail at all is federal charges lol.

So cool of you to pay that young man more money once you found out what you can get for it. Not only is it honest but also smart business as he will definitely remember that you did that for him and will come back the next time he has something to sell. He seems like a good guy and I know you are a good guy so hopefully you've forged a long lasting business relationship.

You were blown away? You obviously don't know your TMNT! Sorry lol! Born in 81 so TMNT is my jam! I had the original white jersey slam dunkin don as a kid.
