WOW Ruby is 51 years old?! I forgot how long they can live. That's truly amazing and what a well loved bird. I hope she has many more great years with you!

[@JOEBOWERY]

I love this channel, I negotiate and people get so mad at me, I feel like I don’t do anything different. Still studying

[@matthewacton871]

Just popped in to my algorithm today so new subscribers must have worked

[@Zeltor]

This has quickly become one of my fav channels, as a avid thrift store shopper I'm learning a lot.

[@zippyftw]

when he said 350 and pete threw in that edit that shit had me laughinggggg😂😂😂😂😂

[@Vvardenfell_Outlander]

I discovered your channel a few years ago but didn't subscribe. KZbin just started showing me your videos again and I rectified my earlier mistake. What a fantastic channel and a wonderful business you run. Added to my list of things to do/see/eat if I'm ever in Chicago.

The parrots are awesome

[@beavis4play]

why are so many people buying brand new things and NOT using them - then head to the trading post??? it doesn't make sense. that guy with TWO new pairs of boots - 300$ he paid and never wore them once?.......and he says he doesn't have the boxes?.....none of that sounds right to me.

I thought Pete's offer was fair, but also didn't think the counter was outrageous. 2 running weed whackers and two new pairs of 200 boots and couple of other things. On a bad day, Pete's still going to make $200 there.

I’m not a fan of the “guys I need you to subscribe for YOUR benefit! It has nothing to do with ad revenue!” pitch that I always hear from people as they show the metric of non subbed watchers, I understand it more from the people in moms basement but you got a business already making money.

[@briantomcollins]

I'm a recovering addict and just watched the scammer videos. It's kinda humbling... and embarrassing, seeing how stupid i must have looked trying to trick someone who does this for a living. Great stuff tho, love to see the oddities people come up with.

[@pablobecerra1995]

Dam Pete the person who told you that they don't need to subscribe because they watch your videos aren't real fans. The point of subscribing is also to help the channel grow. ❤

[@FrankOceannOFWG]

I work in the refining industry, so guy with the steel Toes , I know he was regretting coming in there. 😂 I know Pete’s game, but I also know you could throw those steel toes on marketplace and get $150 a piece easily, maybe $120 to sell quicker. Basically gave Pete the Stihl and model car for free🤣 I know Pete has to make money. But some things I just wouldn’t take into the flea market for money. Too easy to sell on your own.

It was $89.99 but with taxes and shipping it was $110. That other thing sells brand new for $26.... So you wanna do $136? LOL

New sub here. After 20 years in the pawn business this brings back memories of all the fun at the counter.

You're definitely not alone in that. I'm always waiting for their next vid :D

[@TermlessHGW]

He could however respond or at least like a comment here and there from time to time. Also I wrote him a couple of emails about something I was interested in. No response. And I get it, we're all busy. But it wouldn't hurt to show some interest and appreciation here and there.

[@JXZ2]

Same here! I think this is the first new video from him since I found the channel. Great content, isn't it? I would love to see a full day live stream from them.

[@blastingoff]

I found your channel randomly. I am so glad I did. And I subscribed instantly. I have watched over 40 videos so far; I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for keeping the videos simple and not having sponsors take up 5 minutes of our time, like some other channels do. I have a feeling I will end up ordering an RC or something from you in the future. I am editing this as I watch lol. Micro machines were way smaller than the one's he had, I know bc I still have mine from the 90s, I also have Cool Tools; kids tool set. RC's, computers, any gaming, toys action figures, trading cards, I love those things and I work on pc's and rc's all the time at home.

It would be so cool if one day a year you find someone who really seemed genuine and give them the money they need then hand the item back. I bet it would be a great video for views and also really help someone

The wind-up, vibrating safety razor was reputed as being "a lady's best friend" back in the 1930s -1940s. The razor unintentionally started a brand new niche market which need not be named. On a different note, did you know that squirrels actually only remember where 20% of their hidden cache of nuts were buried? ...so squirrels are actually planting trees. 🤯

If you can sell it new open box on ebay then it's as good as new, at least on that selling platform. I have done so many times. If they've truly never been worn then they can be sold as such. Yes, resale is always going to be higher with original packaging. And as to them being stolen. People get boots, shoes and everything else under the sun like that all the time at yard and estate sales without the boxes. It's very common to see if you're a reseller.

[@user-ly1um4ic7h]

Well you have. To do whatever Pete just beats everybody.

[@whodidit99]

I'm surprised by how unrealistic some people are - expecting full retail price? How entitled are these people? Nobody cares how much you have into the item.

[@TheBridgesYouBurn]

Nothing wrong with shooting for the stars lol. However, if you're selling your items to a known re-seller you can't expect much...but that also doesn't mean it's right for the re-seller to screw over the customer. The customers should be educated on what the items are worth as well that they are selling
