The kid and his watches was probably the most wholesome exchange I've seen ever. They were both very genuine and humble and the way handled it was great.

[@Mercmad]

Not all old watches are worth money and not all newish watches are worthless. It takes a real watch expert to known how valuable watch's can be.

[@megboyd2609]

I've been going back through his catalogue since discovering his channel the other day. By FAR his interactions with young customers are my favorite. Patient, kind, and never speaking down to them...and in the process, he always teaches something. Beyond wholesome.

I sold 37 plastic model kits on eBay , for that whole month it was like I had two jobs , in fact , the effort and time put into selling these 37 model kits caused me list productivity in my career job . Bottom line , the entire exercise of selling those 37 model kits , not only cost me money , it caused me anxiety and grey hair .

So long story short, gift em away or throw em in the trash eh?

[@Rodrickrodney]

People seriously underestimate the time it takes to sell, package, and ship items online. Over 200 things sold on ebay doesn’t get easier though😂

[@objectivetruth2945]

​@@user-ox2xi6kk8o Exactly. Peter only pays $10 max for each item people bring in, wanting people to basically give away their stuff. On the other hand, he tries to sell the stuff for a few hundred bucks. No warranty of course. If it breaks down immediately, you have to eat the loss. I do admit that pawn shops are a tough business because, due to Chinese factories, many items today cost only about $50 max. The issue I have with Peter is that some of the stuff people bring in seem to be valuable. For example, Craftsman tools can sell for a decent amount. But Peter isn't willing to pay up because he knows that most sellers are in a bind. That's why they come in. Peter's goal is to get things for a steal. And if you spent hours to get there, he knows that you need to close the deal no matter how bad it is. I wouldn't trust anything Peter says.

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

I collected WWII stuff and he would call me from all over the states to tell me what he found for me.. Pete reminds me of him.

[@donkeypox1943]

Boomers are always full of it! Da worst generation!

[@neotripz]

He is also a liar. If you listen close he stated he is selling the small compressor because he has a big one for his air tools and such. Then on the way out says he no longer uses air when he asks about the air tools Peter buys...

[@bmxscape]

@@neotripz why would that make him a liar lol i have a big compressor and don't use air tools either, its for inflating tires just like him

[@thadrd]

Craftsman tools forged in USA go for decent money. Current Craftsman tools are no longer made in the USA and are considered junk in comparison.

[@pauldeluca3471]

Just because he no longer uses air tools does NOT mean he no longer has the compressor and tools. He could be holding on to them just because he wants to. I'll never depart with my tools. My wife and/or kids will have to deal with all my tools, after I pass. I'll never sell them.

Love the show. I worked part time in a small pawn shop when I was in college. I never got to make deals, I mostly just did inventory and what ever I was told to do. It was a cool job. Lot's of the same people would come through every month or so. We did a lot of small loans as well. Boss taught me about price vs value. Even though he negotiated, because people expected it, he knew exactly what he was going to pay for something right after a good look and appraisal (done in his head as no internet then). He was a super cool guy. Very good to me. Since I was having to work 3 jobs to pay for school, he let we work more hours than he needed and when I he knew it was close to Christmas, he'd make me a great deal on a present for my girlfriend. Less than he'd paid for it. He'd probably gave it to me but he knew I'd neve accept it. Never liked the guys that you knew were trying to rip you off. Those people he could smell a mile away and people he thought were thieves, he'd not even talk to them.

Also the people telling you how to buy and sell in the comments have never been in this business or they lost their business by regularly making poor choices. You've got more patience than me, and that's a compliment. Be blessed my friend

[@darrellwetzeljr.1886]

That gentleman with the watches, I feel like he’s naturally a really kind person! Refreshingly awesome dude.

[@ozzymorrison8628]

I would of gave him 50 bucks to leave the store

I remember some time back I needed a specific (10 mm) socket wrench and found a good deal on eBay: a whole set (used) for 1 Dollar starting price. Since there were so many other ones on eBay that were brand new, people overlooked it and I wound up buying it for the 1 Dollar plus shipping. The seller lost money on that big time. The manufacturers should sell not just complete sets with all the sizes but also sets that have just the most commonly used ones, like the 10 mm metric or the 3/8 standard.

He's even going to sell the ratchets to his "friend" without the set rail, so he could save on shipping.

[@dubblewrap]

Love how you gave the kid 15$ for his $15 watch

[@rattlersix]

The thing about the tools is that they are decent quality tools but they are also very basic tools. You pay more for good name brand tools that are more complicated like a torque wrench or power saw, not used screwdrivers, combo wrenches and sockets

That guy would've gotten nothing from me, actually I might have held the door for him on the way out

[@ThaGreatestAlexander]

the only winner in those small deals is ebay

[@nathang5803]

Always annoys me when people dont accept an offer and then go on and on about how they can get double from a "guy" they know. If you can get money from someone sell it to them!

[@slimrosco]

It’s funny how other people tell you what’s good for you and what you should be happy about. Unreal. The nerve of some idiots just never fails to amaze me.

[@mattschwartz2657]

Wonderful explanation. I feel I learn something every time I watch a video. Plus I love you way you handle yourself. Great work!

[@TheGrasshopperYT]

I love that you spoke to the boy with the swatches as if you were speaking with anyone who else. You gave him the truth and a lot of information and treated him with respect. He'll remember that.

[@andrewmachado6988]

You’re too nice Pete. I would have offered $100 and that’s it to the tool guy and that’s it. Take it or leave it buddy. These people always make it sound like they’re doing you a big favour coming into you’re shop and selling you their stuff meanwhile it’s the other way around. (They have stuff they want to get rid of because they don’t want it or need fast cash and you’re doing them the favour taking a look and willing to buy it)

[@packers12to80]

U don't think If he wasn't gonna still make a nice profit he sent him on his way? For 100 even with the tools taken out he will easily come out ahead

[@robertgreenhalge1708]

It's always the same thing with tools...people expect way too much money for them. I could go to my local hardware store and buy tools that I need for like $5 a piece. Sure, most are junk these days but for most people in my view don't care. They simply need to get a random task done around the house and don't want to spend a premium for something that gets used once a year.

[@appolop8273]

Peter you don't have to justify what your selling and what your profit is. You have employees to pay, rent, etc. If people sell their items to you its because they need the quick cash. They can list their items on other sites but the majority are to lazy to do so. Btw, is Vicky still working for you?

[@RiouInsuiko]

You're absolutely right that he doesn't have to justify anything. The explanation at the end, however, I think is pretty important. A lot of people balk at the idea that there's not enough money in buying a $40 item for $20. At face value it looks like you'd double your money. Peter's explanation shows it's not that simple. Another thing that's fairly important that he didn't mention is that selling something on Ebay also has additional noteworthy drawbacks. Both go somewhat hand in hand but being required to offer some kind of warranty (Ebay guarantees to buyers that items meet expectations, etc. It's difficult to truly sell something 'as is' and never accept returns) as well as having to deal with scammers. The lower the price point of an item the less it's worth buying it for. Hopefully people stuck through the video to the end and get a better understanding of why they're wrong about perceiving so many of these pawn shops to be 'lowballers'.
