The voiceover is great. Thumbs up.

[@TuNgo]

twobyfour agreed, digging the chill feel of the commentary! Nice touch 👍🏼

[@cincinnatipicker]

Good stuff Pete, I love the voiceovers!

[@oscartc456]

Voice over is great! This way you give slot of tips etc that you may not feel comfortable doing with other people around. And your not competing with kids crying , music. Love it

[@lorrieriddle4079]

Yes love the voice overs without all the store music!

[@dannyanderson3345]

You must have magical thrift stores down there in Crystal Lake. Nothing but junk up here.

[@kandjdesignz1121]

Danny Anderson I was thinking the same thing! Can’t find anything close to those awesome finds.

[@HighVerbal]

Pete , my vote is for More voice-overs . Your descriptions of the Items are detail-rich . When you narrate , you are free of distractions that you would have on location , live , in the stores . . Watching your voice-overs combines the Introspective & Retrospective ~*

[@jimwhitehead1532]

The voiceover is great because you have time to add thoughtful hushed comments. You aren't distracted as much in the store. It almost felt like I was watching a PGA golf game. :-)

[@JCHodge89]

Voice over worked very well! Lots of great information. Your voice is so calm it’s starting to make me sleepy. Keep it up Pete!

[@124adams]

Hi Pete, great video as always & I will vote YES for your "voice over" as opposed to live but, only when you're out shopping

[@juliegreen6624]

Thanks for this video. My dad drives me crazy because he is a horder. He has about 20 vcrs in his closet and has 6 pioneer receivers. I keep telling him to give me then but he is one of those who is attached to his stuff he doesn't use

[@PaulDeLeo]

TIP: XM Radios with lifetime subscriptions sell for over $200. I got one at a yard sale for $5. It’s a lottery ticket: you need to connect power and an antenna to find out if it gets service because it has a lifetime subscription.

[@Kevin-sw7bx]

Paul DeLeo I recently picked up an XM boombox with lifetime subscription for $5 at a thrift. I got lucky!

[@kimberlys2851]

I love the voiceovers. Your voice is so calming it’s like ASMR. 😌

[@tylerbray8233]

LOVE the voiceover....talk about RELAXING :)

[@craig5909]

I love watching these type of videos! more more more!! lol

[@RonHelton]

Lots of videos to watch. I watched this one on double speed. ; ) Good tips.

[@happycamper5211]

Wow..UPS just called me today to work with me on better pricing. I've been using the ebay UPS rate but getting an account you get a better rate ...thanks Pete !

[@juliekmunden]

Lots of added value to the voiceover and less dustracting that way too! Great content today. 👌🏽

[@joansommerfield8419]

Really like the voiceover as you give more info on the items and why you did or did not buy them. Thanks, Pete.

[@MrDeleon9999]

Voice over a great idea... Lots of tips and info to learn from...Thank you...

[@prolific9002]

Voice over commentary is great. It gives you some time to think about what you want to say and we get a more refined audio track. Totally cool. As you walk through the store your comments resonate with me, especially looking for those rare original oil paintings! There's gold in them thar hills!

[@FatimaB0315]

I Like your Videos , I'm learning a lot from your choices and tips " . Sound is Awesome !!

[@ldg508]

I don't know how I found this channel but I haven't stopped watching in 4 days

[@flojotube]

LDG 508 - UMMMMMM.... SAME HERE....... WTF?????? Does Pete have dirt on the algorithm????? Just before I saw this comment I was thinking to myself that it’s a little sad that I spend THIS MUCH time watching his older vids.... there’s something amazingly intriguing about this content that I can’t put a finger on. Smh.

[@peppiholliday4525]

I love the voice over very professional and not distracting at all

[@georgeevashko2523]

Hey Bro Yeah. I like watching with the voiceover. Lots more luck to You in your finds ! Have a great day ! G.E

[@bocabral1433]

Yeah Pete I think the voice overs more educational cuz it gives you a chance to explain the details without any distractions

[@jrfergus65]

It's kind of like Marlin Perkins narrating Wild Kingdom...In a good way.

[@Linda-tp5ik]

I appreciate the voiceover, much better then having music and other background noises. Thank you

[@StevenStephResaleKillers]

Voiceover at the thrift store is genius!! That blaring music is the worst! This was relaxing and informative! Really enjoyed this! It was like we are sneaking in the store with you 😁 really great prices at your stores!

[@steventrott2718]

Love the calm tone you used while doing commentary. It was a great way to wake up and get my day started.

[@waynegeorge2707]

I like the voice over. Your videos are always interesting and educational.

[@sommid]

Thanks for another great video...voice over choice is great. Cheers and thumbs up from Rotterdam - Netherlands ;-)

[@dauntiekay2768]

Love your video and voice-over is great. It might be great to see what Vicky and Adrian would find if they were to go sourcing with you.

[@td7834]

Yes love the voice overs

[@vjassak1]

Love the voiceover much better than the background noise. Keep up the good work!

[@sboutlaw2007]

I love your voice over and how you describe the items you see..

[@josefinadonis6121]

Yes I love the voiceover. Always watching your great content. God bless you.

[@honeychipotle]

the voice over is asmr, amazing!

[@tufferguy5651]

That Wild Kingdom reference is spot on, @jrfergus65... give him a listen CH Peter. Another curious mind that never loses the thirst for a good ole drink of knowledge while pouring a many cup of his own. Cheers to you my friend and Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffmoestaygyi.1248]

Your awesome man!!! Self made thrift king!!!

[@marvinvannoy7633]

Voice over works great. Thank you!

[@matt5139]

Thanks Pete! The voiceover is great

[@musicforever9098]

I enjoy the voice over because you are explaining everything just right! Enjoy learning from your videos!

[@Mark122571]

Hey Pete - the teapot and gravy behind the fire truck was Johnson Bros Friendly Village - sells at about $75 for the pot and 35 for the gravy. Easy money

[@orandilu989]

Voiceover is fantastic! Thank you for keeping our thoughts in mind.

[@Pauldjreadman]

I think the voiceover is popular.

[@ETERNITYISHERE]

The voice-over is great Pete appreciate your content

[@gailresources8120]

Your goodwills are so nice. Most of mine are really rough. Thank you for the content!

[@lanaswanson1743]

Yes the voice over is great👍

[@fernandofernandez7731]

The Tape deck is actually vintage MCS sold by JCPennys in the 80s. Some pieces look nice but still cheap.

[@itsmestephanie9226]

I love your voice overs!! Keep them coming. Plus you speak so clearly!!👍🏽

[@robertspencer8662]

Learn a lot from you love watching your videos keep up the good work

[@borderrooster5332]

Thanks, Pete, for another enjoyable video. The voice-over was very well done. Editing was seamless.

[@bwbark]

Pete these voice over videos of you shopping are some of my favorites because of all the tips you drop and I learn so much just listening to your thought process. Thanks

[@keithferguson4855]

I think the voiceover is the best route to go. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the videos

[@nadinemarciniak161]

Thank you so much for the great info - I love the voiceovers!!

[@YourRhodeIsland]

Peter I NEVER USE UPS I often sell large heavy items & I only use Fed Ex Ground never an issue with addresses unless it's a PO BOX they will not deliver it to a box but that's easily remedied by stating that in your listing. The items ship quickly and the rate is very fair. More importantly for those who don't often buy heavy items, DON'T, unless you know the work & cost involved or make the item available for local pickup or you''ll get burned when shipping far exceeds what you quoted.

[@franlewis263]

good on the voice overs! Thanks for all the tips.

[@airsailor6176]

Hi Pete, the cheap knock-off cassette player at 8:25 looks very similar to the late 70’s Sanyo tape decks.

[@TwistedCracker666]

Love the voiceover!!! It kinda feels like I'm in your head, hearing your thoughts!! LOL. I can hear you but your lips aren't moving on the video!!

[@BigFrost83]

My wife and I enjoyed the voice over!

[@skpearsoninc]

Love the voiceover!!! Great info!!!

[@kevinshea4776]

Pete, I agree with opening an account rather than go to the mom and Pop store to ship! However, I have one better than you on shipping. I have a good friend who works at a giant corporation (I won't name the company) that gets amazing shipping rates with Fed EX. This is due to leverage. The corporation allows its employees to use their rates and ship and then reimburse the company for the shipping expense via personal check. I don't bother my friend (I use to work there too) with smaller parcels, but every once and a while, I have to ship something that is bulky or heavy (Or both!) and I package it and drop it off at his house for my friend to take it in to work and to ship the following day. My advice to your SUBS is to also: 1) check with friends and family if they work at a large corporation. 2) Do they allow employees to ship and reimburse the company using their shipping accounts. 3) You may run into an issue if you have to file a claim, since the companies account will get the claim check and not you! But that risk is worth it to me as usually I paid a fraction of the cost for the sold item and I have not had to file a claim yet. The amount of money I saved for all the shipping saved me using this method would cover the "total loss" if something was lost or damaged.

[@lennynjacob3654]

I like the voice over and thank you for these, I appreciate the insight into what to look for when I finally go thrifting.

[@Abbie-UK]

Love the voice over Pete .. love seeing what you get up too .. ty for showing us your day .

[@vinnieboombatzmd3508]

That Canon camera was a sweet pickup. You'll do well with it. Re the Sirius/XM stuff, Stern is the only thing keeping them alive. When he finally retires they're done. I have a boombox unit with lifetime subscription up on ebay now and it's barely getting any views. a couple years ago it would have sold first day.

[@andrewlkozar]

Your videos are gold & the voice over is genius. Keep up the great material, THANKS!!

[@iwanttosurvive3992]

That was really thoughtful of the Goodwill worker to bring that item to your attention right away. 👍

[@dianerooney6012]

Like the voice over. Am enjoying your information

[@williamswinehart6717]

Great on the voiceover Pete. Another great video.

[@markc469]

Love the voiceover, Pete! Gives you time to think of what you want to say about the product! Much more professional and easy to listed to (no background noise!)...

[@janicehill9759]

Voiceover is great! Everyone should try it when they’re in those stores with the loud music.

[@trailtl5543]

love the voiceover. Enjoy your videos.

[@bryank47]

The voice over works great. Keep up the great work

[@karenhenderson3889]

Your voice is so much more enjoyable than that loud music with children screaming in the background. Thanks

[@suzyqualcast6269]

From 🇬🇧 : One thing ive found over the years is to US made t's - theyre always really well put together, seem hardwearing and they last.

[@txangelfeathers]

I think it's great, I like it...Voiceover

[@davidmcelhattan1826]

Voice over is very good, thanks for the video!

[@alisdairchalmers6852]

Thankyou for the videos love the voiceover

[@sarrazagreychuk9535]

Love the video! Was awesome an voice over

[@capfantasy]

I like the voiceover. It seems that you can say more about what you were thinking that way then when its live. Your not as restricted.

[@tristannolan85]

that turntable on the shelf while you were looking at the camera looked pretty promising

[@upstatenythrifters4973]

I like when you do these types of videos 👍 they are so awesome to see what to look out for and helping us newbies learn... thank you Pete and please keep them coming

[@MrTargetone]

Love the voice over! Your thoughts "after the fact" are more insightful and detailed than live on the spot commenting.

[@dasnvps]

Yes, the voiceover is perfect. It's easy to listen as you narrate the action.

[@ernie_smith]

Keep doing the voice over Pete!!! Love your video!!!

[@srillc7506]

Interesting deal with the xm units. XM had at one time a promotion that offered lifetime activation, with all premium channels. Those go for very good money. Few hundred each, fast sellers, usually a few days. Basically plug it in, if it gets the howard stern and nascar channels, let it update if it doesn't shut it down, you found one.

[@scottcarr2871]

Pete, I really like the voice over analysis part of the VLOG. Very educational thank you please keep up the great content

[@mbrazas]

Voice over is great. Actually gives us more easily understood information.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

Your Goodwills are sooooo much better than any I have ever been in. Ours are all overpriced, filled with junk and just generally a waste of time at least for flipping. I've been able to pull some nice cloths out of them to wear occasionally but nothing I felt like I could flip. They just don't leave any meat on the bone around here for flippers to make any money.

[@veedub95]

Hopefully you found the the cassette deck was an JC penny has brand. From the late 70’s early 80’s. MCS units were made by various Japanese companies like Panasonic, Sanyo. Use the main things wrong with older cassette decks is the need belts and a good cleaning.

[@drwoe]

MCS was JC Penny's private label brand made by all top brand manufacturers like Pioneer ..Technics etc ... MCS stood for Modular Component Systems

[@kumd]

I know this is old, but sometimes those XM radios have active a rare “Lifetime Subscription” on them. They can go for $100-$200. With a 2-Day return policy it’s worth checking them out. I’ve gotten 3-4 lifetime subscriptions off those old units.

[@kingwalkthrough8885]

Good voiceover and hand gestures, reminds me when I was a kid and watched Mr. Rogers on tv the show had some segments like that. Keep going with it.

[@donnaoshaughnessy8500]

Love the way you did this video. GREAT! Shocked though at the high prices your GW's charge. Our nearest GW is in Bloomington Illinois and on the high side too but some other great thrifts only 15 minutes from me. Shoes are always $1.99 in our local thrift store.. I always learn tons from you. Thanks so much

[@anna2sablan383]

Voiceover is great Pete. I can really concentrate on the details of the item youre describing. Awesome vid. Excellent narration.

[@altonbutler9588]

Loved it ,

[@doiron12]

Your the KZbin version of American Pickers! Great Show!

[@curmudge]

Perfect ...Great to be able to hear you completely

[@dianepropson2508]

Really like the voice-over. Good job.

[@tennesseepicker]

Great finds, Pete. The voiceovers are great, enjoyed it!
