you should advertise for free electronics recycling ,then people would bring there old electronics to you and you could keep what you want and take the rest to a recycler

[@bobrakow6866]

Pete is doing the best videos for people in this game at any level. There's so much advice in the haul videos as well videos about specific products that sell. While others have morphed into promoting products and programs and feathering their own nests, Pete is keeping it real and helping the community. Thanks....

[@CraigslistHunter]

Thank you Bob for the kind words and thank you for watching Cheers !!

[@blackbirdpie217]

I agree. But for me in CA, I discovered that thrift shops is definitely not the place to find bargains. $15-$25 for an old VCR, Jeans for $10-12, framed wall pictures for $25. Estate sales are pricey, garage sales you have to drive park and browse so much it's super time consuming. Sourcing is pretty tough out here.

[@ndbobby1]

I'd agree that thrift stores can be too pricy. I'll be thrilled when we're back in garage sale season. But I'm OK with electronics at $10 or less at Goodwill or Savers. Best of luck.

[@OfftoShambala]

Or he could make a deal with that little shop to pick up whatever they collect every week or something like that.

[@OfftoShambala]

whoops, I meant to reply to drazyeddie13 who suggested Pete advertise as a recycler in this thread

[@janicebird610]

Another great video. I loved Vicky waving at the end!

[@sub4ra]

I agree with both!!

[@Linda-gx3uk]

Loved that Vicki snuck in a wave at the end!

[@timothymiller4217]

Vicky is becoming less camera shy. Bet you were hoping the sweaters were your size.

[@CraigslistHunter]

Yes I was Thank you for watching. Cheers !!

[@renatoramos2553]

Peter Thank You for all the Info you Provide.

[@kendoh80]

I can't wait to go drifting this weekend, thanks for all the info!

[@mikerients2944]

Hey Pete & Adrian, My globe arrived yesterday just before noon, Box was in perfect condition & Globe was safe inside, Thanks again for this piece of history!!!! Hahaha Cherers, guys!!!!!

[@smooth331]

yeahhhhh !!!!!!! photobomb by Vicky at the End. Good job Vicky.

[@wishuponakate]

Love that clock. You found some really great clothes too, especially those shoes. I love Merrells.

[@susangarcia6233]

Pete, thanks for the tip on the vehicle door handles. I broke 2 in winter on my car, just from normal lifting pressure. It's getting harder to find skilled guys who know how to take a door apart and work on the linkage (rod parts) inside.

[@parityisuncertain8391]

Love these thrifting videos

[@IrisMG]

I order door handles from eBay for my Toyota too. I haven't tried installing the outer handle, but I'm always replacing the inner ones. Thankfully those ones are easy. Found a KZbin video and taught myself

[@blackbeauty71872]

Love these thrifting vids Yayyyyyyy!!!!

[@jake_4439]

Just wanted to say thanks for the vcr video. I knew people were selling them on Amazon, but I still thought it was ridiculous. I went ahead and looked up a couple I saw today and picked up a Magnavox mwd2206 in great condition. Easy money, thanks!

[@ThriftyDadJosh]

Nice scores! I love finding Orvis

[@gailnext]

armrest cover from local junkyard $60, ebay $10 with shipping. To all old school businesses please adapt.

[@anthonywatson754]

I have to wonder where the electronics will shift to if they aren't accepted anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if some ended up in their dumpster or at another nearby thrift store. Great video, Pete! Cheers!

[@lindamancuso2209]

Great video! Thanks Peter....I loved seeing Vicki wave at the end!

[@xtremeclean9049]

Should have left your business cards at the store that is no longer accepting electronics. They could send the customers getting rid of electronics to your shop!

[@dbcooper6462]

Jack Smith great thinking good advice

[@gapt1005]

I really like this show lol

[@CraigslistHunter]

Thank you for watching. Cheers !!

[@lisaheath8987]

I love car parts from ebay! Replaced a broken tail light on my mustang and saved $60 by shopping on ebay.

[@tootall5559]

I finally got a deal off craigs, but not for resale. Needed new desk office chair... well new to me, I bought new once and was very nonplussed. didn't last a month. Anyways, I was looking on craigs for one, guy wanted 20 bucks for a nice looking high backed office chair. It was in great shape when I got there so I handed him the tweety and loaded it up. looked it up when I got home, new it sells for 1079 dollars on special. Why the hell doesn't that happen with resale stuff, usually can't find squat. I wouldn't try to sell this chair on Ebay, too big, shipping a nightmare. Nice to know the bargains are out there tho. You have a good day, it's your vids and name that made me decide to check craigs, so thanks for that.

[@debbiearmioiathomas5107]

PETE about shops that are stopping accepting electronics . I have a local habitat thrift that told me after they sell what electronics they have that is it. The reason ? They make Big money on furniture. Problem ? They will alienate a customer base that won't even bother coming in that would potentially buy something else

[@donaldpoole5896]

Just the best videos any would be hustler could watch. I am reentering the fray after 8 years. Two questions for you. 1. I looked at your store. 500 plus items listed. All Buy it nows. None with Best Offer. Do you list your auctions under another account? 2. Do you close your auctions on the weekend at any particular time of day? Thanks for sharing your insight!!

[@donaldpoole5896]

The second question was answered in your 5 tips for auctions video. Should have known your auctions close is at night, Friday and Sunday. Thanks again Pete!

[@tntpickers6480]

Tikanis? Starting out with a Greek welcome, nice, Pete !!!

[@vincentsgaming]

great video as always! And loved how Vicky photobombed at the end of the video!

[@dbcooper6462]

Great day Pete

[@PhilandGina]

Nice cheeky wave from vicky

[@etownvintagebuys5665]

EDUCATIONAL VIDEO REQUEST I think it would be a tremendous value to you viewers if you could do a video on how you do your bookkeeping. Specifically in regards to when you get large amounts of items at one time. This is an area where many resellers have a hard time and in many cases they'll sell for months and months without keeping track and find themselves is a mess. I went my first for months without keeping track of anything. Here's what I do when I make large purchases at auctions of hundreds, sometimes thousands of items. I get a count on how many items are sellable. Then I just divide the total cost by amount of items. All I do is keep a running cost average. Every month when I do my books, if I have purchases receipts, I add the items and value to my current inventory and come up with a new average. When I record my sales and expenses, I subtract the items and total cogs (average cost per item) and make sure the average cost per item is still the same, rounding down to the nearest whole penny. For more expensive items (items that cost me $5 and up) that I know will sell fast, I use specific match. It would be nice to see more resellers discussing inventory bookkeeping so many of these newbies don't find themselves in a bind. I panicked for almost two weeks trying to figure out a bookkeeping method once I learned it was more complicated than I thought. When I first started, I thought you just kept all your receipts from everything and write it all off at the end of the year. Now that I learned it, it's a piece of cake. But for someone who has no idea what they're doing in regards to bookkeeping, I see how some people could go an entire year without keeping track of things and find themselves in a bind trying to figure it all out before April. Lol Love your videos sir. Keep up the good work!

[@jozza900]

Big fan of your videos! You need to thrift a gopro to take us in the shop with you so we can see the decision making process as you actually thrift! Stay strong brother.

[@dannyanderson632]

-24 on New Years Eve here in Northern Minnesota.

[@henrys3629]

There was a local swap meet and people were passing up lots of money making opportunities. I've dealt with broken pipe. Water everywhere. Your handle broke because too much dumpster diving.

[@patientprepper2030]

Hey Pete keep up the excellent inspirational videos. Was wondering when selling dvd/vhs combos, what do you include for cables

[@triptrackin6267]

Your videos are amazing and so down to earth just how it is in life! I have a question for you or any of your subscribers. I have a Technics audio system I have had for 15 years or longer put up. It's 4 separate towers with the equalizer etc. Would you sell them all together or separately. Would all together be worth more money over all? And if so how would you or anyone who can help me ship such a big electronics with it being 4 set tower piece? Thanks to anyone who can help me. And thank you for your videos they help me so much.

[@Ricopolico]

I know you are a sweetheart, Pete, but you also have some damn good people working for you.

[@ClaudioLabraJr]

What did those coins sell for?

[@CraigslistHunter]

$500 for a set. Thank you for watching. Cheers !!

[@Kelly-nd3cz]

You run your water to drip in the cold right Pete. It helps it here in south FL central to keep it from freezing pipes

[@cencalmatt]

Another great video. Refreshing... So much drama in the LBC lately... very hard being picker M A double T.

[@Kelly-nd3cz]

Great Video and we are freezing are rears off here too Pete 25 degrees just south of ocala

[@CraigslistHunter]

Thank you for watching. Cheers !!

[@unbelievablevideos3557]

LOL nice sign in the bathroom Pete ..the one above the toilet.

[@crashburn549]

Hey Pete Question, Have you ever dealt with buying and reselling old Macintosh Apple desktop computers or maybe even IBMs- perhaps in your shop or on selling them on ebay? If so, what has been your experience with selling old computers? Or do you stay away from things like that? Thanks! Happy New Year!

[@tinderinc]

Maybe ask if you can have your number on there sign that says they don't take electronics, tell them you like to "recycle old electronics" they might let you, ya never know.

[@bthivierge]

1:50 "why are you looking up here, the joke is in your hands..." lol

[@eugenianova9537]

hahahh)the preview pic from WC made my day

[@lustrevision]

really enjoying your channel I'll be sure to stop in when im in the area! Keep up the great work!

[@CraigslistHunter]

Thank's for watching. Cheers !!

[@adamtolley1448]

Hey Pete can you give some advice on how to pack and ship the big bulky items I'm sourcing a lot of this stuff but don't really know how to go about moving it. Where do I get boxes big enough for these items? how do i ship a rug? Whats the best shipping service to use?

[@rosstaylor6499]

Ha ...vicky photo bombed you at the end !! 😉

[@nicholasnoriega1205]

I hate to say it but I'm going to give up on selling on Ebay. I always underestimate how much it will cost to ship somebody something. I just sold a pair of shoes. It got all the way to his city and now they are shipping it back (usps) not sure why they just said error. Now I have to pay to reship it back to them. Not only that but paypal is holding the money he paid me for like 2 weeks???? They said its normal. Smh somebody make me feel better lol.

[@thomasgentry6201]

Gas and Time to Buy a 15 USD Clock with no numerals?

[@gapt1005]

hes a real thinker does logical stuff interesting to watch

[@glendasully]

Great scores today. Worth being in the cold

[@tntpickers6480]

Question about the VCRs - the ones I find rarely have the AC/power cord; do you sell without the cord or do you have extras around the shop?

[@cyndiduncan7795]

My dad's drains freeze all the time. What did they attach to your pipes?

[@chriskordes9827]

HI PETE , FOUND MY FIRST PIECE OF ORVIS CLOTHING (SUIT FOR £3 ) WHICH IS VERY RARE IN THE UK....WOULD HAVE WALK RIGHT PASS IT WITHOUT YOU PETE PASSING ON THE INFORMATION THANKS

[@owlyboy6059]

Hi Pete. Just thought id suggest an idea to you. You could go into the animal shelter and tell them you will take ALL their electronics if they start accepting them again. Or ask them to give customers your card so they get sent to you. They get some money and you get gems again. Hope this helps.

[@CraigslistHunter]

Great idea thank you Owly Boy and Thank you for watching. Cheers !!

[@kmaster8855]

I know i sound stupid by asking this.....But is Milo for sale ? I love that cat !

[@countyourcashkissmyassxxx3543]

Hey guys I love u vids

[@unbelievablevideos3557]

Pete how did you find Vicky can I buy her off you, that would help me out so much. Did you post an add on Craigslist to find her?

[@brandybass4244]

We have to drip our bathroom sinks too. :( The cold sucks.

[@juliekmunden]

Love the boomboxes and electronics! I'm shocked people want VCR's! What is the target audience on these? Good video as always!

[@RetroMediaLibrary]

you do know that certain rare/out of print CDs are worth more than 40 cents, right? so if you have anything hard to find - it's big bucks...

[@panteleon1]

Kala eimai esy? Greek guy, here we have an antifreeze valve www.hydrotherm.gr/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=437 that when the pressure from freeze build up it discharges a little ammount of water and then it closes again until the next built up i think you have there too

[@nekklp4376]

Pantelis Christidis I really believed I was the only Greek person watching Pete.. Glad to be mistaken

[@bobrakow6866]

I see boom boxes a lot. Had no idea they sold. I assume the better brands are better sellers?

[@clayton2183]

Ask them if they will give your number to people bringing them electronics. Could be a blessing in disguise.

[@mrmiked6577]

It's mind boggling how many VCR's you go through. Who the hell is buying so many of these obsolete things??

[@mohamedmusabeh4672]

How much would you charge for the shipping on the stereo?

[@smoresandwars]

hey its been 32 degrees at night in Orlando - very little sun

[@franceswalker2627]

Try 2 degrees in Indiana this past week with -15 below wind chill factor. Today is a warm 15 degrees. lol

[@annazapata1479]

What Krazyeddie said

[@mr.pagesfilmsandplastics]

Your videos are on my top 5 list! Naztalgic, Taco Stacks, We Love Comics and Horror In Me. Love all your videos. Keep on the good work.

[@hansnews5270]

Why don’t you advertise your own store as a thrift store and accept electronic donations that you can resell and make more profits

[@vetterfellow]

Pete they don't make trucks like they used to. Adrian; it's a bummer to get back to work again..... 11:43 I waved my hand hellow to you Vicki, TTFN Everybody.

[@22stunt45]

Pete Ovahere. Missed you man. Not seeing you as much :-(

[@CraigslistHunter]

Thank you for watching. Cheers !!

[@MichaelHasebroock]

Why do people thumbs down Pete's videos??? Go watch something else!

[@vissitorsteve]

How do you tolerated Adrian's constant chatter? :-)

[@kevinmahlendorf4955]

:54 Love how you wiped your nose on your hand then shook the customer's hand. lol

[@phillyflash43]

Hey maybe it's a Polish custom, lol!

[@jimsmith9931]

Kevin Mahlendorf I had to watch again, very good eye. I try not to shake anyone's hands. I mean even I pick my nose or ears,or play with my junk so I'm assuming everyone else does.

[@IrisMG]

Kevin Mahlendorf thank goodness they make soap!
