[@Chasing80sToys]

Really enjoyed the stories. Collecting as an adult, we take the good with sometimes the bad experiences. The only bad experience I have nowadays is that the GIJoe toys plastic becomes a bit more fragile with the years to the point I just don't dare to play with it anymore and leave them on my shelves. No shady deals so far, knocking on wood. The best experience must be Collecting with Shayne en knowing the coolest toyline is safe for that next family generation your son. Yo Joe brother

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes, l am happy that we got to collect and play together. Now he's 17 so he doesn't play much anymore. But if l bring a new 80s joe we need home, he runs down right away to see who it is. So l dont think he doesnt care anymore.. just in that awkward stage. But he is a smart tough kid who knows whats right in life. He said to me today he will always love 80s gi.joe

[@redfin01]

Wow, those are some horrible experiences however extremely glad that you’re able to acquire those sought after Joes through terrific experiences. Sometimes we have to go through the mud & rain to get to the sunshine. Love your content & keep sharing Joe bro!

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you! Yes, the road of life , isnt it? Thanks for your comment!

[@bobahicks]

I've been mostly lucky with my collecting and buying but I think we can all relate to having to deal with dodgy sellers from time to time. Great video, Dave C🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thanks Mark!

[@wrp4955]

Great video Dave. Good topic to talk about the experiences we all have as collectors. Pretty cool how you got your Stalker as well as the Cobra trooper.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes! More positive ones then negative. Something about both parties being honest in dealings feels so right. Like a barter in ethics. Thanks Wes

[@MythonThePython]

Enjoyed hearing your stories, people can be something else at times. Luckily the good people outnumber the jackwagons out there.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes. Very True. Yo Joe!

[@BobHansenJokes]

This was awesome, so happy you included both the negative and positive sides. I think you need the negative side of things to make the positive mean something.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes. As a comedian you need to kind of do this don't you. So you know more than anyone its important to relate. Thanks Bob. Love you Brother

[@Gojitron1]

There's more good than bad out there, but we tend to not forget the bad ones because they tick us off so much. 😅

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes! For sure 😅. Thanks for watching. You are a more experienced collector then l. You were collecting before l was born. I thought you might like this topic!

[@JFvE]

Oddly enough I've only had a bad deal with another toy line. However i stopped looking at Craigslist and other online free ads. I've learned my lesson there. Flakes galore.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yes! Well, thats good it was some other toyline that tainted success instead of our gi.joe! 😅, lol.. yeah. I can tell in my first communication now with people if they are legit or not😅. Kind of like liberals vs. Conservatives 😅

[@OldManOutback]

You've really run into some shady sellers. So much bait & switch! Sorry to hear that. I experienced some shady-ness recently acquiring my 1st Terrordrome from an internet seller myself. So, this episode was well timed for me, in particular. Glad to hear you have had more than a few positive experiences too.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Thank you OldmanOutback, yes - some are clearly only thinking of $$$. While some are the opposite. I hope your Terror Drome purchase ended up well. I have bought two of those myself in the last 5 years, one seller was great and it was a good experience... the other was not so much. Maybe l will do that one next experiences installment. Take Care! Yo Joe

[@Fore-Four-Dee-Too]

No matter what you collect, the stories are all similar.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

True! Thank you

[@SilverScout82]

Man, I know exactly what store you’re talking about. He’s been screwing us local boys like crazy over the past few years.

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

Yeah. He used to be okay years ago...l don't know what happened but he seems miserable now. That was the last time l bought from him and l don't think l will ever go back. Thanks for watching , l recently got your msg on instagram about the sms part. I dont know why but l just saw it today even though you sent it in July. Glich or something . Yo Joe!

[@gijoeactionfigures7211]

Anyway long story short I will be posting links so more people find other channels like yours and others, and more people need to do that more often, I will be changing my channel name one more time, lol

[@gijoeactionfigures7211]

66 Likes just in time, you need to have G.I. Joe in your channel name other wise your vid's don't get found as much, I had my channel up for one year and your channel has been up for 3 years, but I used to do star wars vid's way back before HCC Cobra Commander first started, I was collecting my Joe's but they where on hold for 7 years of star wars collecting, but then I full got back into focusing on G.I.Joe's, and well SJW star wars all sold off ;)

[@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit]

thank you, I will try that

[@gijoeactionfigures7211]

@@gijoedavec-straightfromthepit a lot of other channels don't have G.I.Joe in the name so it makes it harder for there vid's to show up for other collectors to find
