The calling him an asshole was a sort of ok comment, she was immediately retorting to his jokingly saying he stole it from a motorcycle rider. But because she’s drunk she was already behaving bizarrely. During the first few minutes, it appeared she might’ve been not with the chainsaw video man, and then she glommed onto his shoulder, I thought they were together after all. When the motocross leathers thing ended , and the chainsaw man came back and says he had no idea who she was, things became more than clear. When we are drunk, it’s safe to say, we are the only ones who think we are so clever or amusing. It’s this kind of stuff that reminds me why I don’t like to drink anymore after all.
Same. On one video he walks on a leather jacket some guy is claiming to be worth $1200 or some bs and in one step the cat called him out on his crap, lol. The guy was actually chill and just started petting the cat.
@@Neverender3367no the cat have a nose for money as Pete told many times he will buy everything the cat will sit and walking on! So I want you to stop trolling
It would seem obvious that your business's success relies very much on your ability to interact with your customers in a civil and respectful manner. You do a top notch job in accomplishing that challenge. This episode is a good case in point.
I really enjoyed the interaction with the Rolex guy. It was interesting to watch them figure things out, simply agree to disagree, and even end up with a solid recommendation. That's how you do business! I wish I lived there to check out the stuff he's got. It seems like a really comfortable and fun spot.
Pete, you really are the consummate pro at your business - there’s always gonna be odd customers, but you handled everything in the most pleasant and professional way, and everybody saved face
@thehemwickhag9270 She was clearly intoxicated, don't be so rude either, are you ok? Did you have a bad day? Anyone with a brain can see she's intoxicated, drugs or drink, one or both.
When the video first started, I thought she was a friend of yours or something, the way she was interacting with all the guys, hugging, flirting, then she dropped the bomb on that gentleman, just plain strange! You handled it like a Pro Pete! Keep making these cool videos and we'll keep watching! God bless and keep you safe!👍
no hugging, unwanted touching and emphasizing the words piece of shit at the same time. she was trying to aggravate and provoke and they didn't bite since their not unconsciously triggered in their emotional pain body like her and she was amused they were completely dumb and oblivious to her bad behavior toward them so she continued
Alcohol is one of the worst drugs in existence. It always bugs me when people are programmed to place alcohol under other drugs based on legality and reputation. Heroin, cocaine, etc were all legal, normalized and available at your local store at one point in history. Alcohol is more than enough to behave in an odd, confronting or even violent manner. I was a paramedic and alcohol was the drug associated with the clear majority of public antisocial behavior. I can't count how many calls of "someone on drugs" turns out to be someone on the normalized drug called alcohol. Another large factor is mental issues. Though people would prefer to blame drugs because you can't say "Don't be mentally ill, kids" like you can with drugs.
RAW!! As a long-term subscriber this is what I want to see! This is life right now! Unedited videos as uncomfortable as it may get sometimes ! Fantastic work Pete you handled that very well!
Good to see that Ms.Kitty is keeping her eye on everything! I've had parrots for forty years and also worked at an Avian rescue. The fact that your bird does not freak when you show him/her the net, shows that he really trusts you. ( Had he been wild caught, and thank god there is much less of that now, he /she might feel differently.)
Pete was absolutely right about that Rolex because how many people will come into a pawnshop looking to spend $25-30k? If he ended up having to sell online its 20% so there is way too much risk giving the guy his asking price. The dude would get better money if he sold it himself but i get needing quick cash.
He can easily flip that watch for profit, but offering that dude 12K is ridiculous. Rolexes are some of the easiest luxury watches to flip. The luxury watch market is insane.

Also we're talking thousands and thousands of dollars, and he said since you were closre, by like 20 minutes or whatever he would try him first. even though he knew better chance of getting more in whatvere city they live near. This guy is doing something shady!
@@joeymims5852 I agree the watch is fake. Nobody with money to splurge like that tries to sell it to a random second hand dealer. He would be dealing with experts. If he spends 30K on a watch why would he be trying to sell old macbooks. Rich people dont bother with old macbooks, they give them away.
I don’t understand the Rolex guy. I have knowledge in that industry and that just makes absolutely no sense for him to bring it to a pawn store. There are many other avenues he should know that he can take to sell that easily for what he wants. Something sketchy there… I don’t know.

Pawn Stars is stale and uninteresting because its so scripted - Petes store is genuine and it is a place I would want to visit.......and I love to watch
About 5 years ago I stopped at a garage sale. The whole back wall of the garage was stacked high with brand new Nikes in the box. The lady wanted $5 a pair, I asked why she had them. She said her son was a vendor rep for Nike and he had passed away so she was selling a lot of his things that had no sentimental value to her. I bought every pair in my size, 10 pair for $50. A few days later I was kicking myself for not buying all of them and reselling them online.
Dude it's so rare to see an upstanding honest guy like you! It's especially ironic, since the typical view of pawn shops to me is, that they're always trying to get you. They way you interact with strangers, even scammers, is so respectful. There is no doubt in my mind, the world would be a better place, if everyone was like you.
Your joking right? 😂 he rips people off. He’s predatory. He wants to make $15k profit on a $25k watch. To offer somebody $12k knowing your going to sell it for $25k is predatory.
Seems like a normal guy to me... Just an idiot... I was a heroin addict for nearly 20 years, I can spot junkies a mile away and this guy just seems down on his luck.
I was starting to wonder whether that guy really thought he could convince you to buy that watch, or if he just liked listening to himself talk. You are a patient man to listen so politely to all of that.
In that situation it obviously pays to be patient & in listening mode, to play the long game, if the guy's payroll commitment meant he had an urgency to get the upfront money he just might have been able to compromise far enough. How Peter could have been ultra-satisfied on the legitimacy of the item, & how the payment handling works without cash vans & bank transfer I don't know ? I don't live in the USA
Rolex superfakes are so good now, it's almost impossible to distinguish. If the front passes, you need to take the back off and do a detailed check. CH has done dubious watch deals, and he's taking a huge risk offering genuine money for this.
I used to collect fakes. There’s two manufacturers based in China that produce near perfect fakes. They even replicate the look of the inside ( the movement ). Although they look perfect the movement eventually breaks. I don’t bother anymore, ended up buying a 20 year old legit explorer II.
Ahhh….the Rolex owners dream! I can buy this watch and resell it later for the same amount! I heard that for YEARS. Then I bought one. I loved wearing it. It was a wonderful watch. But when it came to selling it, no one…and I mean no one….wanted to buy it for anything near what I paid for it. Good video. You handled the woman so well! You were so respectful to her and told her what she was doing. She knew. She almost said the word “boundaries” when you did. I’m sure she has heard this before! 👍🏻🙂
The watch guy mentioned something in passing about having expensive Nike or other sneakers. From what I've heard they are like ticking time bombs, since the rubber deteriorates over the years leading to cracks and that would probably affect value downward. He should probably sell before they start falling apart.
I laugh at every time a person says it could sell easily for $XXXX dollars. I that case, why go to Petes? why not sell yourself if they are so popular and people will snap it up. God, the patience Pete has, he is a saint
I worked at a thrift store as a kid and that started my life long love of used stuff, I would love to work in a store like yours, you must be really good at assessing stuff to get to that point!
loved the haggle on the rolex, keep up the good work. I worked in Pawn for a year with my grandmother as the manager as it was the best time of my life.

She was more than drunk,She was definitely on something by the way she was acting and her eyes, I think you handled it good,Probably a lot better than I would have lol
considering her weird behaviour and the customer confirming he smells alcohol on her breath then its not a far reach to assume shes on soemthing else.@@_WF23
I actually liked the guy with the Rolex. Even though you weren't close to his bottom dollar he was still respectful and ended on a good note. I can't get enough of your videos. You are the definition of a professional at your job/business owner. Thank you for the content.
love watching your clips and all the entertainment it brings! love your authenticity, humility and graciousness to your customers and youtube watchers!
The people that just talk and talk while you are researching their stuff, stresses me out and makes me mistrust them. On the flip side those who don't speak at all (and maybe are holding their breath), I don't trust either. Lol. I would enjoy working in your store but not with dealing with negotiating prices with customers. I really enjoy your channel.
Pete you're such a Pro dude. I honestly don't think i could handle dealing with some of the people you run into in that shop. You handled that weird lady perfectly.
Man, I loved how that lady felt that guy up and gave him a big squeeze. I had to watch the entire interaction again....LMAO!!! To think you've seen everything....
What's not to understand? By the logic you should think collecting anything is weird. And if that's the case you should think hobbies in general are weird
@@jessebanwell5705I mean, isn’t the functional purpose of sports cards the collecting of them? I agree though anything can be a collectible to the right audience.
That really scares me about Rolex watches. He paid 29k for it and he is only offered 12k to sell it. What that really says is that high end watches are hard to sell and don't retain value
Pawn shops only give you 20% of it worth no matter what it is! I know! I've been pawning stuff for 30 yrs or more! Pawnbroker is taking a chance he can sell it. Basing on minimum info. Because it's a fast deal. It's like dealing with a crack head 😂
@@johndef5075i do, mine actually does things though. When my jet ski filled with water on the bay here in hawaii it was my apple watch that let me call the fire department who sent someone out to get me.
Not really, you just don't sell a watch at a pawn store/trading post if you want to get decent amount for it. There are many high-end watches that hold their value very well or even appreciate in value over time.
Friend, in your business you have to deal with undesirables. Liars and thieves to put it bluntly. Bless your heart for keeping it real. Be safe, always!!
I’m in London England 🏴 but hopefully I’ll be visiting soon and I can’t wait to see what you guys have got in your shop because it looks amazing 👍🏻
I don't know if it's crazy I don't know if it's drugs I don't know if it's alcohol or combination of all of those above. Holy crap the things that you have to deal with in this store. And I love that everyone says... they're brand-new or it's brand new and then they try to use your pets as a ploy for you to buy their things. And they always compliment their products that they're trying to get rid of, if the like their products so much why are they trying to bring it to a not pawn store for sale. It just kills me I'm laughing to the Crow's come up.????¿???
You’ve never been extremely hard up for cash then and had to resort to a pawn shop. This is every pawn shop across America. Seriously. I worked at one for years everyone’s the same for the most part. They think their stuff is worth retail or way above and have weird tactics to buddy up like it’ll work or distract. It is what it is. Just how humans are when they’re desperate. Not judging them at all we never know what someone’s going through and what they’re willing to do and they aren’t killing anyone just trying to bamboozle a pawn shop owner who looks up sold listings and offers half to double. Is what it is both are trying to rip one another off in different ways. It’s a PAWN SHOP.
She certainly was a little odd. Have to give the Rolex guy his due if in fact he was selling to make his payroll. Have to take care of the people who make you money. Ruby was very calm when you put the net over her. A sure sign of an animal who trust someone is not going to hurt them. 👍🇨🇦
Unfortunately with shoes, if you store them for a very long time, as soon as you start to wear them they crack and turn ugly. Best to keep them in a display case
short story, I used to work in Home Depot and I was in the store one night and a drunk customer called my coworker a very nasty word........for no reason.....when a few of my buddies found out we tracked him down and scorted him out of the building and told him never to return.......alcohol makes people mean or stupid !!!!!
Heard on some ancient episode of COPS, officer says of a man arrested for disorderly intox and fighting: "Probably a perfectly nice guy, just add alcohol: instant jerk".
If Rolex is selling watches for 33k +, guarantee they are making way more than a 50% profit on each one. It's easy to sell to the rich, because all they care about is the price tag for clout.
This one was a bit saddening. Especially - for me - the guy with the Rolex. I've been in his shoes. Many people my age that I grew up with have. I'd dare say he's not selling his $25k Rolex to "make payroll." I can't help but get the feeling he's selling it because he has a drug problem. Like I once did, he hides it fairly well. I hope I'm wrong and if so I sincerely apologize. Whatever the case, I hope he gets back on the up and up. 🙏💜💯
you r a good soul my friend, indeed it seems like you r right......and its very sad .....some other people will laugh about it but a lot of people who know how hard a struggle is when you r addicted....feel exactly the same what you feel when you watch this kind of image
A good friend of mine is in this situtation. Hes been clean for 20 years but cant touch anything which would plunge him back under the thumb. He wears a top line Brietling as a reminder of what he would lose again if he fell .
Exactly 😂...I just bought a brand new cordless grinder ...Sawzall with charger and batteries for 50$ like new......you know damn well a crack head dropped them off 😂..
He wanted 18.5k for a watch? I'd rather buy a car at that price. He needs the money for payroll? C'mon, stay away from these characters. Have him go to a jewelry store and sell it there. Pete, your store is not the Ritz Carlton, stay away from buying watches at that price, unless you're a multi millionaire. As for the lady, do you remember the movie, " One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"? They're all coming to your store, what a spectacle!
Yeah its kinda weird that a baller dude that got shoes worth more then his 29k watch and tons of "peanuts" like laptops etc needs to go to a pawnshop that clearly is made for a different clientel (no offense peter) to make ends meet...something doesnt add up...
I’ve never had a great view on pawn shops because it seems like people who are desperate get absolutely ripped off. This shop seems way more honest. Very cool channel.
There’s no way he paid 29k he probably paid his asking price and is now looking to get it back, unless he bought into the hype of the clown market of 2020 when everything from stocks to video games were going through the roof and now he realized his “investment” is worth much less than he paid.
Unrelated to this theme, my wife and I went to Pictured Rocks and Copper Harbor on our way to Isle Royale National Park last year. Love the shirt, love the content, love the channel. Thank you!
That guy has shoes that are worth more than his Rolex but he's there selling anything he can to make payroll. Lol. All these short term wealthy guys. Smh.

I love the way you are with your pets. It really shows that you have a big heart. May you be blessed.
Ahhh….the Rolex owners dream! I can buy this watch and resell it later for the same amount! I heard that for YEARS. Then I bought one. I loved wearing it. It was a wonderful watch. But when it came to selling it, no one…and I mean no one….wanted to buy it for anything near what I paid for it. Good video. You handled the woman so well! You were so respectful to her and told her what she was doing. She knew. She almost said the word “boundaries” when you did. I’m sure she has heard this before! 👍🏻🙂
Yeah sure...
The watch guy mentioned something in passing about having expensive Nike or other sneakers. From what I've heard they are like ticking time bombs, since the rubber deteriorates over the years leading to cracks and that would probably affect value downward. He should probably sell before they start falling apart.
Sounds like he should stop buying such expensive stuff unless he can afford it.
I laugh at every time a person says it could sell easily for $XXXX dollars. I that case, why go to Petes? why not sell yourself if they are so popular and people will snap it up. God, the patience Pete has, he is a saint
they want cash today. no fees
@@kmktruthserum9328 Correct, eBays fees are just crazy. I sold something last week for £250 and my payout from eBay was only £199.37p
Exactly
Maybe stolen?
@@kmktruthserum9328they still aren't going to get top dollar for their stuff selling it to him.
I worked at a thrift store as a kid and that started my life long love of used stuff, I would love to work in a store like yours, you must be really good at assessing stuff to get to that point!
VERY GLAD I FOUND YOUR SHOP AGAIN!!!LEARN ALOT ABOUT PRODUCTS AND PEOPLE!!!
loved the haggle on the rolex, keep up the good work. I worked in Pawn for a year with my grandmother as the manager as it was the best time of my life.
Pete handled that drunk woman very professionally. Put her in her place firmly but respectfully.
Yeah. Drunk or not, he still rips people off!!!!!
@@j2hustle685 what did he do?
@@gmagainhe rips people off it’s pretty simple. He’s predatory. He wants to make $15k profit on a $25k watch. To offer somebody $12k knowing your going to sell it for $25k is predatory.
@@kalebanth8323 people can choose not to sell it to him simple as that. He runs a business. Running a business comes with many costs that you have no clue off.
@@gmagain LOL. Yea. Keep pretending to be somebody your not on the internet. Mr big business man. 😆 There’s a reason pawn shops have the reputation that they do. They’ve earned that reputation.
Thanks!
At McDonald’s once we had a lady walk up to someone in the drive through and start attacking their car. He didn’t know her and was on meth. Acted just like that lady. Cops are free at that McDonald’s so they were always around thankfully
I can't believe anyone would pay 25 Grand for a watch.
Yeah you'd think watch prices would have dropped through the floor, I haven't worn one in 15 years because of cell phones.
wealth
Drop in the bucket for the ones who have the wealth.
25 Grand for a watch, That's just the start of the more pricier watches.
You can add a 0 to it too. And people will by that watch.
My apple watch literally replaced every watch I had wore for the last 5 years 😂
She was more than drunk,She was definitely on something by the way she was acting and her eyes, I think you handled it good,Probably a lot better than I would have lol
Even the shop cat stayed away from her!!
It's called mental illness. She is obviously a mentally ill person who was also drunk.
Stop assuming
considering her weird behaviour and the customer confirming he smells alcohol on her breath then its not a far reach to assume shes on soemthing else.@@_WF23

You can't fix crazy.
True, but you can bang it.

Even the bird knew she was high 😂😂😅 😭😭😭
The bird and cat are so adorable
i love how he stood up for his customer, great job.
I actually liked the guy with the Rolex. Even though you weren't close to his bottom dollar he was still respectful and ended on a good note. I can't get enough of your videos. You are the definition of a professional at your job/business owner. Thank you for the content.
Guy knew his Rolexs
I to enjoyed there encounter very respectful didn’t get mad at the counter offer cuz he knew the business side of it
The Rolex owner was a sad case. He's out there trying to make payroll as best he can.
@@Martin-sp4zfmans out there earning his bread, what’s so bad about that ?
This guy is so full of BS.
The old lush was sipping on Grandpa’s cough medicine again… 😂😮😅
You handled that well. At least she had the decency to apologize and leave. Loved the Nike's!
love watching your clips and all the entertainment it brings! love your authenticity, humility and graciousness to your customers and youtube watchers!
The people that just talk and talk while you are researching their stuff, stresses me out and makes me mistrust them. On the flip side those who don't speak at all (and maybe are holding their breath), I don't trust either. Lol. I would enjoy working in your store but not with dealing with negotiating prices with customers. I really enjoy your channel.
Pete you're such a Pro dude. I honestly don't think i could handle dealing with some of the people you run into in that shop. You handled that weird lady perfectly.
The woman looking for a good man in your store …shopping woman and happy day with drug’s on lol lol 😅😊😅😊😅😊
Great vid Peter, love seeing all of these characters that come into the shop!
I'm a real pawn shop thrift store hound and I just love your youtube channel.
Hey Bud, I’m SOFA KING HAPPY to see how your channel has grown!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I wish when people brought in watches we could get a close up of it
Man, I loved how that lady felt that guy up and gave him a big squeeze. I had to watch the entire interaction again....LMAO!!! To think you've seen everything....
Never understood the collecting of shoes. I always thought that shoes were meant to be worn...😅🤣
Collecting anything is weird. Shoes are at least functional, what the hell is up with sports cards?
What's not to understand? By the logic you should think collecting anything is weird. And if that's the case you should think hobbies in general are weird
@@jessebanwell5705 Functional only if they're worn\used. Useless just sitting in boxes or on shelves.
@@jessebanwell5705I mean, isn’t the functional purpose of sports cards the collecting of them? I agree though anything can be a collectible to the right audience.
The collecting stuff i can understand. What i don't understand is the money some people are willing to give for certain items.
That really scares me about Rolex watches. He paid 29k for it and he is only offered 12k to sell it. What that really says is that high end watches are hard to sell and don't retain value
Pawn shops only give you 20% of it worth no matter what it is! I know! I've been pawning stuff for 30 yrs or more! Pawnbroker is taking a chance he can sell it. Basing on minimum info. Because it's a fast deal. It's like dealing with a crack head 😂
A watch is a vanity piece anyway now. All phones have time on them. Most people dont actually need a watch.
@@johndef5075i do, mine actually does things though. When my jet ski filled with water on the bay here in hawaii it was my apple watch that let me call the fire department who sent someone out to get me.
We have a phone now
Not really, you just don't sell a watch at a pawn store/trading post if you want to get decent amount for it. There are many high-end watches that hold their value very well or even appreciate in value over time.
Bless your soul. You deal with some weird people, and some just hang out. I couldn't handle people lingering around.
I am a bartender, work with alcohol induced people 5 days a week. She was drunk or majorly buzzed. Functioning alcoholic.

It's always funny to hear people tell someone else how much money they could make and how easy it would be. If so why not do it yourself?
Friend, in your business you have to deal with undesirables. Liars and thieves to put it bluntly. Bless your heart for keeping it real. Be safe, always!!
I’m in London England 🏴 but hopefully I’ll be visiting soon and I can’t wait to see what you guys have got in your shop because it looks amazing 👍🏻
I don't know if it's crazy I don't know if it's drugs I don't know if it's alcohol or combination of all of those above. Holy crap the things that you have to deal with in this store. And I love that everyone says... they're brand-new or it's brand new and then they try to use your pets as a ploy for you to buy their things. And they always compliment their products that they're trying to get rid of, if the like their products so much why are they trying to bring it to a not pawn store for sale. It just kills me I'm laughing to the Crow's come up.????¿???
Yes☝️.. exactly. Kinda scary. Need an in-store therapist/methadone clinic
You’ve never been extremely hard up for cash then and had to resort to a pawn shop. This is every pawn shop across America. Seriously. I worked at one for years everyone’s the same for the most part. They think their stuff is worth retail or way above and have weird tactics to buddy up like it’ll work or distract. It is what it is. Just how humans are when they’re desperate. Not judging them at all we never know what someone’s going through and what they’re willing to do and they aren’t killing anyone just trying to bamboozle a pawn shop owner who looks up sold listings and offers half to double. Is what it is both are trying to rip one another off in different ways. It’s a PAWN SHOP.
She certainly was a little odd. Have to give the Rolex guy his due if in fact he was selling to make his payroll. Have to take care of the people who make you money. Ruby was very calm when you put the net over her. A sure sign of an animal who trust someone is not going to hurt them. 👍🇨🇦
Sky Dweller is fairly common, very nice either way.. 29k though??? Lol retail new is $15,650.00
lol good luck buying one at retail. There is a reason these watches go for $20k+ on sites like chrono24.
Unfortunately with shoes, if you store them for a very long time, as soon as you start to wear them they crack and turn ugly. Best to keep them in a display case
short story, I used to work in Home Depot and I was in the store one night and a drunk customer called my coworker a very nasty word........for no reason.....when a few of my buddies found out we tracked him down and scorted him out of the building and told him never to return.......alcohol makes people mean or stupid !!!!!
It's "escorted".
Heard on some ancient episode of COPS, officer says of a man arrested for disorderly intox and fighting: "Probably a perfectly nice guy, just add alcohol: instant jerk".
I hope you gave him a stern look as well.
If Rolex is selling watches for 33k +, guarantee they are making way more than a 50% profit on each one. It's easy to sell to the rich, because all they care about is the price tag for clout.
I think I got more annoyed with the watch guy😜 Love your videos. Did you notice Honey ran behind the girl. Never slowed down. Animals know.
Just discovered your videos your expertise and attitude are top notch! You also go out of your way to educate these people on these products. Love it!
Like a thousand people haven't said this already. Stay safe.

This one was a bit saddening. Especially - for me - the guy with the Rolex. I've been in his shoes. Many people my age that I grew up with have. I'd dare say he's not selling his $25k Rolex to "make payroll." I can't help but get the feeling he's selling it because he has a drug problem. Like I once did, he hides it fairly well. I hope I'm wrong and if so I sincerely apologize. Whatever the case, I hope he gets back on the up and up. 🙏💜💯
you r a good soul my friend, indeed it seems like you r right......and its very sad .....some other people will laugh about it but a lot of people who know how hard a struggle is when you r addicted....feel exactly the same what you feel when you watch this kind of image
A good friend of mine is in this situtation. Hes been clean for 20 years but cant touch anything which would plunge him back under the thumb. He wears a top line Brietling as a reminder of what he would lose again if he fell .
I don’t know, he seemed pained to sell it rather than eager so he can get a fix.
You can hear in his voice the tons of weight he carries in his soul
you shouldn't do drugs then lmao, don't want a shitty life? don't make shitty decisions. its that easy.
Half of your customers are on something and most of them are looking to be on something.
Exactly 😂...I just bought a brand new cordless grinder ...Sawzall with charger and batteries for 50$ like new......you know damn well a crack head dropped them off 😂..
because pawn shop is not for people who live best life, you know
No. They're not. They're normal people.
You obviously know nothing about addiction...
@@BeccaHetrick Addiction is an excuse for the mentally weak.
He should rename his shop to "QUICK FIX"
He wanted 18.5k for a watch? I'd rather buy a car at that price. He needs the money for payroll? C'mon, stay away from these characters. Have him go to a jewelry store and sell it there. Pete, your store is not the Ritz Carlton, stay away from buying watches at that price, unless you're a multi millionaire.
As for the lady, do you remember the movie, " One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"? They're all coming to your store, what a spectacle!
Yeah its kinda weird that a baller dude that got shoes worth more then his 29k watch and tons of "peanuts" like laptops etc needs to go to a pawnshop that clearly is made for a different clientel (no offense peter) to make ends meet...something doesnt add up...
Thanks for taking time to talk to me on phone and looking up prices on the black and blue Nike for me love the show
I’ve never had a great view on pawn shops because it seems like people who are desperate get absolutely ripped off. This shop seems way more honest. Very cool channel.
The reaction on your face when she took the racing gear from him hahaha killed me you was baffled 😂😂
I wish everyone trading store had a peter in it this guy is awsome so calm and treats people with respect
There’s no way he paid 29k he probably paid his asking price and is now looking to get it back, unless he bought into the hype of the clown market of 2020 when everything from stocks to video games were going through the roof and now he realized his “investment” is worth much less than he paid.
Bro that lady creeped me out, she was out of it.
Unrelated to this theme, my wife and I went to Pictured Rocks and Copper Harbor on our way to Isle Royale National Park last year. Love the shirt, love the content, love the channel. Thank you!
That guy has shoes that are worth more than his Rolex but he's there selling anything he can to make payroll. Lol. All these short term wealthy guys. Smh.
He has a severe gambling addiction
If the guy knows how to get a better price for the watch. Why doesn’t he sell it himself?
Because he needs to pay his employees in two days.
