Love this guy. It's like Pawn Stars but without the fake drama and stories. Just a real day in the life of. So authentic and a good guy even to those trying to scam you. Keep going. I've subscribed.
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.
@@docducttape9270 yeah my dad is on a first name basis with a lot of people in town. Well the stationary ones anyways. He’s been here since he was stationed here in his 20s. Mans in his 70s now. 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.
Pro-tip: If you're going to try to sell stolen merchandise to a pawn shop, don't dress in the same outfit you used to commit the smash and grab the night before. Bro walking in there dressed all in black like the cat burglar. All he was missing was the balaclava and gloves.
A good friend of mine had several guitars and amps stolen. A couple of days later, the perps tried to sell it all at Guitar Center, where the gear had been purchased. The store called my friend to ask about it, he told them it was stolen, they called the cops and delayed the perps till the cops got there. Must have been fun to watch.
I cannot believe that guy sold a lamp that has been in his family for 100 plus years for a lousy 50 bucks. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better off just keeping the lamp.
and even if you have no family members to pass it on too or they aren't interested in keeping it.....i would donate to a home I've picked that would appreciate it and it's history.... rather that than selling it for $50 and no idea where it will end up.
I instantly doubted everything he said after proclaiming his great grandpa was a multimillionaire mail carrier/snake-oil salesman who lost it all in the markets...and started to believe he's the snake-oil salesman with that bs story. 😂 He jumped at that $50 quicker than a man half his age could lol.
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 can't imagine selling my stamp collection. To me this guy either picked it up at a yard sale and has no emotional investment with it or more likely he is so desperate that he is selling it. It's heart breaking.
English obviously wasn't his native language. Realistically, how do you think he could have scammed the owner? As far as I know, airpods can't be remotely disabled, like a phone can. So, even if they were stolen, they can still be used.
Stumbled across this channel by pure accident... I'm English, lived in Tennessee for a decade, now back in England with my American wife. Absolutely LOVE this channel. I've not seen anything newer (hoping you're still making them) because busy watching all the older stuff. I'm a musician by trade, but I've always wanted to do this kind of thing for work as I'm a big big fan of history and just meeting people and finding interesting objects. But your personality, pets and sense of humour really makes me wish I lived close enough to pop in the store and have a cup of tea and a chat with you :)
People think they can get what they paid for something. If you're at a pawnshop probably shouldn't have bought the thing you're trying to pawn anyway. People have issues with always spending more than they take in those are the ones down at the pawnshop. 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.

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.
I don't really get the hand me down thing. Possessions are just millstones around your neck. When you are gone the people left to deal with things are in a bind dealing with things. It can create bad will and guilt for everything they end up throwing or giving away.@@Mike-01234
Yeah my guess is fake too. No way he's rolling around with that many real ones unless he knocked over a store. The counterfeits nowadays look identical to the brand name. I even have a pair of knock offs just so I don't lose my expensive ones while mowing or roaming around lol.
The Phone Guru bought some knock-offs for something like $50 and everything looked the same down to the packaging! I bet you could make a racket by buying real ones and switching them out with the fakes... It's one of those things... If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is fake!
@@kylemarsun … Says who? You realize these gen airpods are like $250, right? Asking just over $100, If he went lower that would be an obvious red flag.
I stumbled upon your videos randomly and found them to be entertaining. Then my jaw dropped when you had my BROTHER Steve in this video. It was great to see him in this video being happy and loving just like I always remembered him to be. Love you Steve, you will be missed, RIP
That must have been great to see! About 2 years after my mother died, I was watching TV late at night. The show was called America in color. They showed a clip of women waiting outside to see a Frank Sinatra concert. 1950ish. There was my mom and her friend Marilynn. I was able to confirm she had been to that concert. She kept the ticket stub!
I’ve never been to America or seen what a Mexican looks like or speaks like only in the movies, but this guy definitely gave some weird vibes and not a movie villain type of vibe but a real life villain type of vibe.
I just found this channel and I'm loving it, I love how real and down to earth,it's great seeing all the pets and the family atmosphere and best of all the honesty, I thought that was completely lost in this country, he shows people online what the items are worth and even tells them about the profit he needs to make, excellent content and i wouldn't hesitate to do business with him

You have potential and with a little more cameras and editing skills, you’ll definitely be getting more views. Anywho, I enjoyed your content so you just got yourself another subscriber. Keep up the great work.
Crazy enough I was wondering after being a fan for a while where you were from. I had a feeling it was a polish accent! My stepdad’s mom was from Poland. Love to hear it 🫶🏼
Not to mention the fact that he was asking full retail price, lol. Even if they were real and not stolen, Pete would have lost money on them 😂 You could see how easy it was for him to say no. On other videos he hesitates, not here.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I CANT BELIEVE someone got to use "these are sooo hott... they're burnin my hands!" Line in a real life situation!!! That's golden! This vid just made my day! This is the greatest channel!!
Rather than being stolen, I suspect they're fake. There are a lot of convincing fakes out there for a fraction of the cost. Also, I would love the dispenser!
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.
@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. I am really glad that you were able to hold onto one of the very items that holds the memory of your family history. Incredible, thank you for sharing.
I learned my lesson on stamp collecting when I took the collection I had done as a kid to a dealer and tried to sell it. I didn't have anything rare or valuable, but a lot of stuff from the 1920's up. He offered me less than face value for everything. I laughed at him and told him the Post Office will give me face value for them. Then, I went and sold them to the Post Office up the street. Stamps are a waste of money unless you're willing to do a lot of research and spend some big bucks.
Stamp collectors are slowly dying. Not many people under 60 years old are collecting stamps these days. Too many other, cooler things to collect nowadays.
@@Tranqd.24 I think it's 50/50... a lot of people don't know that their items are fake, but some people absolutely do. The newspaper box lady was as bad as it gets! Total scammer.
I am not a reseller but subscribe from Norway. First time I saw your video, the first thing that struck me was you treating customers with respect. That is worth more than any advertising.
Literally the same thing drew me in. I subbed two days ago and already can’t get enough of these raw and authentic interactions. I’m not reseller either but they make it look fun.
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.
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.
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.
Dispenser….. a year and half ago when I had COVID and was all alone in my room I found your channel and been watching ever since! You bring a old school television vibe to your channel.
Pete- You are the best! I'm so glad I finally started watching on my own. Jon usually has you playing in the background as we work. You're genuine, honest and quite funny! Thank you for entertaining us and bringing us useful information. Oh- ULine Tape Dispenser. As the one that does the shipping for Flippin Aint Easy, I sure could use that one.
That dude is so shady, I'd not feel comfortable with him standing in front of me haggling without a sidearm on my hip. At all the pawn shops around here, the staff is fully armed at all times. I'm always a bit nervous walking in with a gun outside of the case. I call ahead of time, and they say to just walk inside with it. 🤷♂
Last year we had someone try to sell us unopened boxes of apple air pods for 75 bucks each. Neither of us bought it being highly likely being stolen by organized crime, it's a real problem in Baltimore etc.
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. )
I've been watching TH-cam from the beginning, so needless to say I've seen thousands of videos and never once have I hit the subscribe button until now. You're a genuine guy who deserves nothing but good in your life! Thanks for being real
Its refreshing to see an honest pawn owner..the one where i lived sold "Hot Guns" told me "If you have anything hot or anything, tell me first so i can keep it in the back." He sold drugs, porn dvds without an adult liscence. Hell even sold his girlfriend..
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 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.
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.
buy a set of lockpicks. Those wafer locks are SUPER easy to rake open. So you can open them if you lose the key but they're still secure enough to keep away the shoplifters.
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.
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.
I started my ebay business in 1999, I 100% agree on the simple upgrade to 3". Most 2" guns are garbage, the Uline 3" is pretty solid (especially for the price) but I really like Tape King.
Can't believe you don't have several sets of master keys!! When I ran a large group shop I had 5 sets of keys and I had them attached to a 15 inch ring and nobody took them home.
Step 1 when trying to make money off of stolen merchandise: Go to a pawn shop wearing all black with your hood up, then act uncertain on how you got said merchandise.
Uline dispenser looks great. Also truly enjoy your videos. Working with the public in retail can be very mindboggling. You handle things well with the customers.
I wish you nothing but continued success I've enjoyed watching his videos now for the past Forty-Eight hours that I've subscribed and love your personality and demeanor with your customers.. Jim from California

Real warm-hearted guy running a real shop. Much more interesting to watch than that fake pawnshop drama show (you all know which one I'm talking about). Big props to the channel.
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
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 😂😂
I want the Uline Dispenser 😀 Love how you turned down the possible stolen product. Always better be safe than sorry when it comes close to protecting your business.
The apple stuff could have also been counterfeit. I bought an apple pencil recently off fleabay that looked pretty legit, but once I dug into all of the little intricacies of what a legit one was, I found out it was a very good fake. Everything from the box, the way the labels and serial numbers were, to the instruction papers and down to specific measurements and markings on the device itself was all off. The earpods he had there are getting very good at being fake. So, stolen, or fake... you did the right thing,
Oil lamp is a great item during a power failure. It was common for the chimney glass to break and be replaced. In my opinion, there should be no issue with a replacement chimney.

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.
I don't really get the hand me down thing. Possessions are just millstones around your neck. When you are gone the people left to deal with things are in a bind dealing with things. It can create bad will and guilt for everything they end up throwing or giving away.@@Mike-01234
Why sell something so special? For what, $50 ? The lamp will live on! It's the $ 50 that will quickly become history!!😅
Maybe he thought there was no interest in his family for it. Better to clear clutter. No point leaving it for someone when you've gone.
My guess is that they are fake rather than stolen. Ridiculously convincing fakes out there for a fraction of the price.
Yeah my guess is fake too. No way he's rolling around with that many real ones unless he knocked over a store. The counterfeits nowadays look identical to the brand name. I even have a pair of knock offs just so I don't lose my expensive ones while mowing or roaming around lol.
They are 100% fake. The story is probably real, he bought them thinking he was getting a deal.
The Phone Guru bought some knock-offs for something like $50 and everything looked the same down to the packaging! I bet you could make a racket by buying real ones and switching them out with the fakes...
It's one of those things... If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is fake!
@@kylemarsun … Says who? You realize these gen airpods are like $250, right? Asking just over $100, If he went lower that would be an obvious red flag.

Haha thank you I have trained her well
*sorry sent of this account instead of main, this is Peter who runs the channel by the way
I like how (unlike reality shows) this guy explains why he is pricing things and is so respectful, unlike the scammers.
I stumbled upon your videos randomly and found them to be entertaining. Then my jaw dropped when you had my BROTHER Steve in this video. It was great to see him in this video being happy and loving just like I always remembered him to be. Love you Steve, you will be missed, RIP
Oh wow, that is so beautiful that you got to see your brother again.
Sorry for your loss.
Steve forever
Which guy in this video was he? Rip Steve
@@DaNiElLl430he was the guy that was holding honey the cat. Rip🙏
That must have been great to see! About 2 years after my mother died, I was watching TV late at night. The show was called America in color. They showed a clip of women waiting outside to see a Frank Sinatra concert. 1950ish. There was my mom and her friend Marilynn. I was able to confirm she had been to that concert. She kept the ticket stub!
Scammers make the common mistake of assuming people are only as smart as they themselves are. Rookie mistake.
I’ve never been to America or seen what a Mexican looks like or speaks like only in the movies, but this guy definitely gave some weird vibes and not a movie villain type of vibe but a real life villain type of vibe.
I just found this channel and I'm loving it, I love how real and down to earth,it's great seeing all the pets and the family atmosphere and best of all the honesty, I thought that was completely lost in this country, he shows people online what the items are worth and even tells them about the profit he needs to make, excellent content and i wouldn't hesitate to do business with him
Congratulations on being in love with another man Thanks for telling everyone
@matimus100 wouldn't it be easier to just say "hey, guys, I'm insecure!", instead of putting down positivity. 🤷🏽♂️
I hope Brian is okay! Sudden ghosting on communication after putting down a good deposit has me worried that something may have happened to brian unexpectedly praying he is okay

Keep up the great work.
Crazy enough I was wondering after being a fan for a while where you were from. I had a feeling it was a polish accent! My stepdad’s mom was from Poland. Love to hear it 🫶🏼
He’s Polish but he’s been in the U.S a long time; dude is Americanized.
Definitely wouldn't go into a pawn shop dressed in all black with the hoodie up selling new electronics LOL
Definitely wouldn’t have tried all 5 at once
Not to mention the fact that he was asking full retail price, lol. Even if they were real and not stolen, Pete would have lost money on them 😂 You could see how easy it was for him to say no. On other videos he hesitates, not here.
What were they that he was selling
@@piranhaeatspanda AirPods
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I CANT BELIEVE someone got to use "these are sooo hott... they're burnin my hands!" Line in a real life situation!!! That's golden!
This vid just made my day!
This is the greatest channel!!
He just looks like such a trust worthy gentleman dressed in all black hoodie 😂😂
They buy it and then they don't want it anymore
Rather than being stolen, I suspect they're fake. There are a lot of convincing fakes out there for a fraction of the cost. Also, I would love the dispenser!
"U-line dispenser." Thanks for the great content over the years. That one dude seemed super sketch. The oil lamp guy is a gem! Thanks Peter
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.
@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. I am really glad that you were able to hold onto one of the very items that holds the memory of your family history. Incredible, thank you for sharing.

“They are so hot they are burning my hands right now.” Great line
He is what we call an honest businessman. Attempts to make a net profit, which is required in order to stay in business.
That guy was strange. He acted like his whole life’s mission was to sell those to Pete.
Yes, he kept persisting. He should have left the store when Pete said no. Pretty clear that he wanted cash asap to go buy some drugs.
@@ualemp902Now, now, you don't know that. It's more than likely that he wanted to buy a suit and tie for his next job interview.
I didn’t really get drug user vibes from him. I honestly think he just gets off on the whole fleecing thing.
Good call on those AirPods that dude totally stole those! Never have I seen a more obvious thief!
All that was missing was a big bag named "loot."
Been In the family for 140 years and here he is selling it at a pawn shop.
Usually how that goes
“You costing me money goddammit” 😂😂😂 earned my 👍for sure 🤣🤣🤣
It takes a special person to do that job and deal with these people.
I’m sorry to see the guy sold his family’s lamp. Wow
thieves and junkies are hilarious, they think they are fooling people when in reality they are only fooling themselves😂😂
I learned my lesson on stamp collecting when I took the collection I had done as a kid to a dealer and tried to sell it. I didn't have anything rare or valuable, but a lot of stuff from the 1920's up. He offered me less than face value for everything. I laughed at him and told him the Post Office will give me face value for them. Then, I went and sold them to the Post Office up the street. Stamps are a waste of money unless you're willing to do a lot of research and spend some big bucks.
Stamp collectors are slowly dying. Not many people under 60 years old are collecting stamps these days. Too many other, cooler things to collect nowadays.
Yeah stamps are worthless
Or you could just collect for your own entertainment and not as some kind of "investment".
Wow ! I just accidentally found this guy! No fake drama or extras walking around like buyers! The reality of the show appears to be sincere!
This is a great channel, pete is a good businessman and a lot of cool stuff comes into the shop.
Me too!
So impressed!

Except that most aren't scammers. People think their stuff is legit usually.
@@Tranqd.24 I think it's 50/50... a lot of people don't know that their items are fake, but some people absolutely do. The newspaper box lady was as bad as it gets! Total scammer.

The tape dispenser is cool. Pete is always giving back to the community. Thanks Pete keep the videos coming 😊
I am not a reseller but subscribe from Norway. First time I saw your video, the first thing that struck me was you treating customers with respect. That is worth more than any advertising.
Literally the same thing drew me in. I subbed two days ago and already can’t get enough of these raw and authentic interactions. I’m not reseller either but they make it look fun.
Kommer fra Norge her også :) Veldig enig med deg med hva du skriver om han :)
I liked this guy from the get go, but then I saw Donkey Kong and Pichu in the background and now I love him.
LOL ! If you asked a 4 year old to draw a picture of the "bad guy" they're literally going to draw this guy!

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.
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.
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.
I worked in a pawn shop for awhile and literally everyday multiple people would try to sell stolen stuff
Dispenser….. a year and half ago when I had COVID and was all alone in my room I found your channel and been watching ever since! You bring a old school television vibe to your channel.
I appreciate your authenticity and sharing of your thought process when you evaluate items. Thank you for your videos!
When you see thieves walking out with a shopping cart full of merch. IT IS SOLD ON OFFER UP!
Geweldig dit. Iedereen is gelijk onder de wet maar er zijn mensen die meer gelijk zijn dan andere.
Pete- You are the best! I'm so glad I finally started watching on my own. Jon usually has you playing in the background as we work. You're genuine, honest and quite funny! Thank you for entertaining us and bringing us useful information. Oh- ULine Tape Dispenser. As the one that does the shipping for Flippin Aint Easy, I sure could use that one.
That dude is so shady, I'd not feel comfortable with him standing in front of me haggling without a sidearm on my hip. At all the pawn shops around here, the staff is fully armed at all times. I'm always a bit nervous walking in with a gun outside of the case. I call ahead of time, and they say to just walk inside with it. 🤷♂
Dude with a hoodie and 5+ AirPods shows up, definitely a red flag lmao
Don't worry, he pay money. It good news!
I don't want the dispenser. 😂
Maybe he can just venmo you the shipping cost he saved 😂
Sometimes the best deal is the one you don't make.
0:45 His bird just vibing in the background hahahhaha
Last year we had someone try to sell us unopened boxes of apple air pods for 75 bucks each. Neither of us bought it being highly likely being stolen by organized crime, it's a real problem in Baltimore etc.
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. )
I've been watching TH-cam from the beginning, so needless to say I've seen thousands of videos and never once have I hit the subscribe button until now. You're a genuine guy who deserves nothing but good in your life! Thanks for being real
Except your subscriptions (which there are many) are publicly visible
Its refreshing to see an honest pawn owner..the one where i lived sold "Hot Guns" told me "If you have anything hot or anything, tell me first so i can keep it in the back." He sold drugs, porn dvds without an adult liscence. Hell even sold his girlfriend..
He didn't seem to understand that just because he BOUGHT stolen merchandise doesn't mean he can SELL it.
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.
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
Friend of mine worked in a pawn shop and said there was a loaded gun under the counter every 10 feet or so.@@FA-sr6lx
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.
@@bakielh229Not everybody is scared to be a man, unlike yourself.
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.
buy a set of lockpicks. Those wafer locks are SUPER easy to rake open. So you can open them if you lose the key but they're still secure enough to keep away the shoplifters.
Takes balls to deal with literal thieves 40 hours a week
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
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.
He’s obv had broken English. Some people who just moved to America may not know your slang words. Jeeeze
Dude is so salty that you caught him out LMFAO subbed
I started my ebay business in 1999, I 100% agree on the simple upgrade to 3". Most 2" guns are garbage, the Uline 3" is pretty solid (especially for the price) but I really like Tape King.
"They're so hot they are burning my hands!" Too funny!
Hey Peter-
I've just recently found your videos over the past few days. I love the way you do things. Keep it up!
Can't believe you don't have several sets of master keys!! When I ran a large group shop I had 5 sets of keys and I had them attached to a 15 inch ring and nobody took them home.
Step 1 when trying to make money off of stolen merchandise: Go to a pawn shop wearing all black with your hood up, then act uncertain on how you got said merchandise.
Uline dispenser looks great. Also truly enjoy your videos. Working with the public in retail can be very mindboggling. You handle things well with the customers.
I wish you nothing but continued success I've enjoyed watching his videos now for the past Forty-Eight hours that I've subscribed and love your personality and demeanor with your customers..

TH-cam hasn’t been around for 48 years! Hell videos on the internet are a fairly recent thing!

"He sold patent medicine....he was a snake oil salesman." LMAO, scamming runs deep in that family.

Real warm-hearted guy running a real shop. Much more interesting to watch than that fake pawnshop drama show (you all know which one I'm talking about). Big props to the channel.
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
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 😂😂
I love your channel brother. Thanks for keeping it real, and being you! You're such a character with so much lovable attitude and great knowledge!
Strange comment
Bro thought he could get away with selling stolen items looking like he just stole them 5 minutes before lol
Hoody guy even looks like a cartoon villain. Guys who think moustaches like that are cool, haven’t got much going on upstairs.
Brian put a deposit and suddenly stopped communicating. I hope hes ok and didnt pass away or something.
I want the Uline Dispenser 😀 Love how you turned down the possible stolen product. Always better be safe than sorry when it comes close to protecting your business.
The apple stuff could have also been counterfeit. I bought an apple pencil recently off fleabay that looked pretty legit, but once I dug into all of the little intricacies of what a legit one was, I found out it was a very good fake. Everything from the box, the way the labels and serial numbers were, to the instruction papers and down to specific measurements and markings on the device itself was all off. The earpods he had there are getting very good at being fake. So, stolen, or fake... you did the right thing,
Oil lamp is a great item during a power failure. It was common for the chimney glass to break and be replaced. In my opinion, there should be no issue with a replacement chimney.
