I agree entirely. It all seemed a bit rehearsed to me. With the Snake Oil reference and the millionaire great grandfather, it sounded like a tall tale. I think that is why Pete only gave him $50. In New Zealand a genuine item like that would sell for $300 - 400 easily, I bet he picked it up in a yard sale for a few dollars and made a healthy profit@@bulletproofair

I like honest pawn shop owners. My mom sold all my stuff after she threw me out, my dad got a call from one of the pawn shops he visits a lot, basically told my dad "Hey...I don't know how to tell you this, but I got your kids stuff. I bought it for a low ball offer, so you can come get it." My mom had been delaying letting me come get my stuff, stuff my dad had bought for me, stuff for school or things I bought myself and we finally knew why. They knew we'd been having issues getting my stuff back and they knew my mother. They took a loss to help us. She had the audacity to actually be mad at me and act like I was in the wrong for demanding to know what right she had to sell things she didn't buy. When she went back to try and sell things she HAD bought, even her own stuff that pawn shop owner refused to do business with her. He said he knew she was heartless, but he never imagined how right my dad and I were. We've since paid him back because we're in a better financial state, but it is something I'll always remember, so if I have something to sell I wont do business with any other pawn shop. They didn't have to do that. They didn't have to even give me my things back, they could have charged for it, they could have not even told us about it. There was no way to prove she had stolen that stuff because I was 15. They went out of their way to do a good thing and I love them for it.

Plus we have a habit of bringing food to people, so they tend to remember us. He knows most of the homeless people cause he gives them socks at that start of winter every year and makes sure their blankets don’t need to be replaced. We aren’t rich or anything, but we’re financially stable enough to help others out with small stuff whether it’s getting a bus ticket, food or blankets. It makes people remember who you are.

Friends' cousin like this he always broke his mother died left him 10 million a 40-acre ranch about 5 years ago. You would think with that much at age 40 he just retire and live off the interest. What did he do buy bunch of new vehicles, race car, boat, Trips around the world for months. In 5 years ran through all the money the ranch is up forsale for $1.2 million. No matter if he had $100 a week or million was always broke.

I think it's sad how the lamp was in his family for 140 years and he got 50 bucks for it. Guess it's better than throwing away, but still it's a piece of family history.

[@drumnbassdan]

Indeed, unfortunately sentimental value is different to actual value. Personally i would hold onto it and try keep it in the family longer.

[@Mike-01234]

The problem is when you get older, you're the last one in a family line what do you do with the stuff you have. I never had kids not that kids even care about your parents, or their parent's lot of them have their own things they don't want all this stuff. I think about all my father's pictures he had of himself and my grandparents. All their things what happens to it when you die gets thrown in the trash. My grandfather was an artist going back the 1930's. He did lot of painting in the 1980's also none of it is worth anything what do I do with it? Even the older stuff there is one art gallery who he used to sell his things at maybe they take a few of his paintings they won't pay me for them. They already have lot from when he was alive haven't sold, he passed in 2005 at age of 95. When I get closer to my 70's going to just get rid of everything don't want bunch of stuff left behind. Rather liquidate it and donate the money to an animal rescue.

[@Cybertruck1000]

[@LazyIRanch]

Beautiful lamp, but Pete's right. These lovely old Bradley Hubbard lamps don't sell for as much as one would think for such a lovely antique. 20 years ago I bought a large, Victorian era brass hanging lamp that came from an old general store in a small Texas town that had shut down in the 1950s. There were pics of the lamp hanging in the store circa 1880s, over the heads of shopkeepers sporting handlebar mustaches. This particular store was THE store that my great-grandparents shopped at. It was a day trip by wagon to go there, about 20 miles from their farm. My grandfather was one of 12 kids, born in 1882. I loved him and knowing that this same lamp hung over the counter where my ancestors shopped was too cool to pass up. I bought it on eBay for $175 including shipping. It was sent by Greyhound bus and it arrived in perfect condition thanks to the very careful seller.

[@FlyingDaddy721]

@Lazy I Ranch I really want to send something via Greyhound bus now! Your story is lovely and evokes a certain nostalgia for me as I have been in several old towns that still operate a general store. St. Elmo in Colorado is one such place that is more of a novelty now, but they keep the town as it would have been. I can see the handlebars milling around in my minds eye with these light fixtures above and the wooden shelves and glass cases.

Peter and everyone - My Uncle got me into STAMP collection a long time ago and thought that having a good Stamp collection would be worth something in the future. I went into a Coin/Stamp shop several years back and asked how much my Plate Block collections would be worth and found out they are NOT WORTH collecting/investing anymore. He wasn't even taking any collections anymore and said that I might as well use them for postage stamps. So I stopped wasting my money on getting anymore stamps for my collections. I have them all stored away in books in containers. Note: a minted plate block stamp is a block of unused fresh stamps and has an associated plate block number which is supposed to make them more expensive than just a single stamp. So people, DO NOT get into collecting stamps - it is not worth the effort - unless you just want to see all the pretty artworks on the stamps and learn historical information on each stamp through the years.

[@urbanurchin5930]

I collected stamps when I was a kid ( 1960's ) and had a pretty good collection. Plate blocks and plates with Mr. Zip, etc. In the late 80's I was struggling to make ends meet and decided to sell. I calculated the face value of all the unused stamps and took them to the coin shop. He would not even give me face value - so I ended up using them on my regular mail envelopes. Some of the stamps went back to WWII - so some of my envelopes had five or six stamps to make the correct postage.

[@billylongmont3438]

Such an horrible thing to hear after all the time and care put into a collection like that, I hate that for you guys. You have that number in your head, only to have your heart broken like you went into pawn stars.

I don't think that most kids collected stamps as an investments. When I was a child 55 years ago, Dad got my brother and me stamp albums and sent off for a bag of stamps. I loved all the different shapes, the languages, the pictures. We asked dad about the countries they came from and where in the world those countries were. I still have an album somewhere. I don't think I have ever bought something with a coldly cynical view of what I can sell them for sometime down the line, not even the house I live in.

Thank you KZbin for finally recommending a good channel.

[@2Old2Care]

I enjoy your videos and all the interactions with the animals. The tape dispenser would be awesome!

[@LazyIRanch]

I'm laughing at Ruby dancing in the background. I think what she's hearing in her mind is "I'm gonna boogie-oogie-oogie 'til I just can't boogie no moooore!" I have a Senegal parrot who loves to get his groove on. He dances and tries to whistle "Tequila".

[@FREEEDDOOMM]

I don't want the dispenser. 😂

I watch your videos, because of you. Not for resale. You're awesome.

Dispenser - Glad you mentioned the part about being an authorized distributor. Apple barely leaves any margins for even them. There's no feasible way to "flip" brand new Apple products unless they are stolen.

Stolen or fakes

Steve is the best!!! Such an asset to the business.

Great story behind that lamp, funny how the guy tried to act like he didn't know what you meant when you said those ear buds were HOT!! I would love the Uline Dispenser.

[@MrScroad]

He’s obv had broken English. Some people who just moved to America may not know your slang words. Jeeeze

[@toyotaboyhatman]

Nice trading places reference. Even if HE didn't steal them, it's possible whoever he bought them from stole it and used offerup to unload them quick and without traceability.

Sheesh. You really earn your money! Must be stressful fighting off scammers all the time. Regards from England.

Seeing the cat and the Bunny together reminded me of this story: Back in the 70's I lived in Colorado and had a bunny that lived in an enclosed outside 8 x 10 deck out my bedroom slider door. I had a hutch for him to go in at night and keep warm, but he loved running around all day in that enclosed space. One time in the Winter we had a big snowstorm over the course of a couple of day and the snow piled up over 2 feet in that space. that bunny loved it and made a ton of borrows all thru it and just stayed in there, I didn't see him for a few days so I was worried and cut into the main living area of his borrow. There he was curled up snug as a bug with the neighborhood cat. I could not believe it. It was a sight to see. LoL ( I always use that brown paper water activated tape for shipping my stuff. )

[@blackcobra6501]

If I can give you some advice, I wouldn’t call out people like that and say their stuff is stolen. Those types of people only need a very small reason to do harm to someone.

[@FA-sr6lx]

Don't worry the store is armed

@@FA-sr6lx Why risk it? I would just nah I'll pass on this one, I don't think I can move them... etc. No reason to antagonize someone who you think has no problem robbing a store

He never said he stole it directly. He implied that maybe who he got it from stole it but never said it directly to the guy. He also said he hopes it isn’t but he doesn’t want to buy stolen merchandise and that’s his business. When it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Apple is very smart and will put holds on stuff that is labeled stolen from a snatch and grab and whatnot.

Pete is like a guy that would give you a side quest in a GTA game lol

[@incognito2.094]

He was a runner for a scammer. Scammer bought all those with stolen credit cards. Gets them in, and sends this dude inside stores with everything to sell for him. Mostly likely what is going on.

[@robbylake3784]

I buy expensive stuff all the time and then decide I don't want it anymore and sell it to someone else for cheaper than what I bought it for. makes perfect sense to anyone if you ask me

[@JoeRogansForehead]

Same thing with the unopened power tools , why wouldn’t you just return them for full price instead of selling them for half at a pawn shop if you really bought them 😂😂
