@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan there was a French comedy show with a famous guest star playing a hippy RN in annold folks home. One of the two protagonists started threatening them saying "I'll tell you exactly where you can shove those pills of yours!" To which the RN replied very passively (but somehow like a homosexual advance) "Promises Promises" while casually flinging his hair. Now every time the situation you describe is presented, I am reminded of that RN.
Just wait til Karen says "I swear to God" cause not only is that sacreligious, but I have seen priests actually tell the Karen "that is a great pennence to remember your humility. May God who witnessed your vow grant you the strength to endure."
In the guitar story, OP is NTA. The seller could have done the exact same research if he cared to get an accurate and fair price. He didn't and that is only his own fault.
I remember another story where OP got a signed guitar for 40$ when it was worth like a million. When he ends up questioning the mother why she’s selling the guitar, she responds “it’s broken, my baby boy was playing a guitar themed game so I gave him this guitar but he can’t play it for some reason, so it’s broken” (abridged). So he ends up buying it, it took a while for the actual worth to get back to the wife and she demanded he returned it back. The real kick in the pants was it was owned on the fathers side of the family and she didn’t tell him she sold it.
Yes. Take it to a guitar expert or a memorabilia type person. Someone who knows their stuff. Something is worth EXACTLY what someone else is willing to pay for it.
@@jackmack4181 yeah I remembered that "my boy is always right, so when he says it's broken; ITS BROKEN" I just remembered that and just made up that sentence but it was similar to what she said I guess.. and boy did she get anger 0-100 real fast
It sounds to me he didn’t bother to ask OP, “You’re an expert; can you tell me how much you think it might be worth?” Instead he wanted to sound like an expert and to be able to tell people, “I sold a guitar for a great price!” It’s unfortunate, but it’s his own fault for not being humble.
Karen: Do your job! Cop: Okay, you're under arrest. Karen: [surprised Pikachu face] Also Karen: I. SAID. DO. YOUR. JOB.

Karen: FINE [a few days later] Karen: HELP ME, COP, DO YOUR JOB NOW, I GOT ROBBED Cop: [shows the paper that she wrote on that says: "I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE EVER AGAIN"] Also Cop: Now, GET OUT [insert Karen regret face]
Case law on the guitar story is very clear. You're allowed to sell something for less than it's worth. And if you later find out that you sold it for less than it worth, that's your fault. "When the transaction is complete, if they do not wish you dead then you have left money on the table."
You are correct, but there is contract law that could be argued concerning either unconscionability or unilateral mistake if one party is aware that the other has made a mistake. OP admits that he knew the actual value of the guitar. If OP didn't know, free and clear, but I think the angry a-hole has a case (though admittedly not a great one).
@@sinclairbowman92 Overpriced "luxury" goods are a prime example for undermining your argument. To the best of my understanding, there has to be some kind of malicious deception beyond the usual "getting the highest price for your wares" shtick. Generally some kind of fraudulent misrepresentation (counterfeit goods, undisclosed breakage, or undisclosed missing critical parts), or one side (usually the buyer) completely misunderstanding the nature of the deal (ie you think you're buying a car, but only get a picture of a car) are some of the few things that could make that kind of case viable. Otherwise, it's functionally next to impossible to win the case. The only other way to undo these kinds of deals is if one party was obviously showing signs of mental impairment of some kind that the other party should have recognized. But I am basing all of this on Canadian case law from a business law course. Laws could be different in DUMerica.
@@imofage3947 so in America, unilateral mistake, where one person knows of the mistake, makes for a voidable contract. Here, Seller was basing what was fair on what he saw telecasters going for generally online, not knowing this specific telecaster was worth way way more. It’s not that buyer knew he was getting a deal, but knowing that deal was based on a mistake that he knew seller was making. When one person benefits from the known mistake of another, the contract is voidable. I don’t think it’s dumb that there’s a protection in place so people can’t be taken advantage of that easily. And the $46k he’s out, while it shouldn’t led to his saying such awful stuff, is understandable. It’s life changing money that Seller should have.
@@imofage3947 also, in this case, it was expressed to seller that buyer understood that the deal was way too good. Normally, it would be hard to prove, but there are factors here that lets seller know that buyer knew and took advantage of his mistake. Including his wife’s own words.

A deal is a deal. I have been buying and selling guitars for over 50 years. Seller's remorse is not the buyer's problem. But buyer beware as there are many illegal fake counterfeit guitars out there on the market from bad sellers. Know your market, know your product, and most importantly, know who you are dealing with....
It’s the guys fault for not researching before selling. He would have never known if someone hadn’t told him the value cause he never bothered to looks. That’s on him.
@@TheBiggreenpig explain why do you go to any store thats having a sale and demand to pay full price? do you buy used things and go "im a piece of crap if i dont pay full price for this and i dont care what you say"? im guessing not its not anyone's problem to know or even care about what price someone is selling something for, and its certainly not their problem if an idiot regrets a sale after the fact
@@mrroboshadow When shops set the price, they are professionals who got all the information. Even if the shop accidentally lowered the price, it will rarely cause personal distress when they realize their error. This dude got an inheritance that he wasn't fully aware of. He didn't intentionally lower the price. It was obvious he was uninformed, and this dude got the advantage of it. Knowing full well, that it will cause strife. He knew he can "legally" get away with being an asshole, but he didn't care about the other person. I'm aware that most people don't consider this behavior as morally wrong. I just don't do this.

1st story: The guy who sold the guitar was an idiot. Always do your own research first on the value of something before you sell it. Because it is not just buyer beware, it is also seller be aware too. Even if the OP then went on to sell the guitar for some awesome profit, they would still not be the butthole as the seller had every chance to lookup the guitar themselves to know the actual value. Also lets be honest, most people would have bought it cheap and sold it for the large profit.
*First Story:* No, the guy doesn't deserve the guitar back. He didn't know the value to begin with, he sold it. *Fourth Story:* My uncle is always tells me stories about people who think they can hit cops, spit on them, whatever. And they are almost always shocked when they're arrested for "assaulting an officer." Especially wealthier morons.
Fourth story; I remember a Red Skelton sketch that played on that. He was a bum and needed a warm place to sleep, so after trying to be arrested in so many ways, he ended up asking how long he'd get for slapping a cop. Twas a good Christmas.
The seller dood admitted had done his due dilligence by looking up the value of the guitar online before setting his price. Four grand for a 'free' guitar is better'n nothing. Besides, Uncle Whiskers (IRS) would've wanted his cut of that Fifty Grand - especially if that income put you in a higher tax bracket...
It's the same as antiques buyers do. They KNOW when they see a piece from the let's say early 1900 ds. It's the SELLERL FAULT if they don't know how to sell real anitques or cheap imitations. I MEAN IT'S YOUR JOB! LEARN IT !
@@chezsnailez he just looked up the modern guitar or at most the orginal price. Its a good lesson for that moron. If you're selling anything factor in how old it is and always get it appraised. Then look for the correct market
I don’t think the op was scumy, dude set the price without knowing what the guitar was worth. Op paid guy’s asking price. I understand that the guy felt taken advantage of but the simple fact is that he shot his own foot, he set the price if he’s buttsore then bottom line is it was his own fault
There's one thing about people outside their country: When they aren't entitled there's very little chance for random people to learn where they are from... The entitled ones are the only ones dragging attention to themselves. There's a good chance that the bartender has gotten tips by Americans several times without knowing, because they just give it and go about their day.
People sound different, but it is the bad ones that stick in your memory. Throughout Europe people are very sensitive to small differences in accents, They probably have worked out which region of a country, or even the exact state, you are from. Several times I have been picked for the city I am from.
Yeah, of course if it involves conversation it should be easy to tell people from their accent. I'm talking more about when the foreigner is hanging out with their local friend who is the one to make an order and such, there are many situations where someone would leave a tip to a without ever hearing how they talk. You know, non entitled people are just trying to have a nice day, not attracting attention to the fact that they aren't from the area, so by large difference it's the loud obnoxious people the ones who stand out and leave a lasting impression tied to where they are from.
It's like how Tourists interfere with the Royal Guards outside Buckingham Palace. They are NOT a Tourist Attraction, they are a highly sensitive group of men and women who will, if you provoke enough, will possibly shoot you with no one batting an eye as they will be in the course of executing their duties to the Crown
@@flashstudiosguy I've seen a few videos of people doing that, it's very upsetting. Same when douchebags mess with street performers statues instead of giving them some money to move.
The guitar OP was NTA. The seller looked it up online and offered to sell it for a price he found online. It is not the buyers' fault that the seller did crappy research.
First Story: That's the fault of the seller--he should do some research about the product he is selling first before selling it. The buyer is lucky. I also buy musical instruments--melodicas in particular, and when a seller gives me a melodica for a price cheaper than expected, I pay for it and grab it ASAP. That's how I scored a specific melodica for $11, when I saw one online for around $60. Second Story: Try to flaunt your "proud nationality" in our place, and you'll be lucky to end up in jail, if not ending up with a busted lip, or worse.
It's the delusion they get from paying their taxes. I long for the day when a Cop, regardless of rank, says "Actually, you pay taxes to the Inland Revenue who takes a fraction of that and gives it to the Home Office who takes a fraction of that and gives it to my Department who gives me a fraction of that. So, in a way, yes, you DO pay my wages but NOT in such a way you feel that you are entitled to give me orders, CIVILIAN! "

5th story: Some people have no HT (home training) and just don't know how to act. That's not an excuse, but an accusation. When my wife and I are guests in someone else's home, they have more food in their kitchen when we leave than when we got there. Not to mention they have nothing to clean up. Maybe wash the sheets and make the bed, unless we're leaving later in the day. In that case, we even take care of that. Yet, I know plenty of people who don't even bring a gift for the hosts.
This is something I want to start doing honestly. I love doing things like that for kind people and you and your wife sound like amazing people and I wish you both of the best the world has to offer
I'm happy to hear your also a person who was given basic training on how to be human, treat people as you want to be treated, and always when your are a guest in someone's home you don't treat them badly, you pick up after yourself, and help once in awhile. I was taught to bring the host a gift, flowers, wine something. After the visit you send a thank you note to the host for hosting you in their home. I find people now days aren't house broke, they are mannerless, and have had no home training on the correct way to behave. I'm glad I'm 70, and won't have to see what's coming
As an African American I’ve always wanted to travel to different countries to show them that we’re not all bad people or act a certain way. I feel like the way movies portray black people has made it seem like that’s how we all act. I felt bad when I went to Cancun and I couldn’t speak the language.
The guitar story just shows, if you are selling something which you have inherited, and want to get top dollar for it, you had better make sure you know what it is worth. Look online for auction prices for the exact same make and model if it is a production item, or very similar items if it is one of a kind. If you don't do this, and a buyer pays you the price you are asking, don't complain. You got the price you asked. That's an end to it.
1952 Telecaster for $4,000? Hell yeah I'd jump on it! Old vintage instruments in mint condition are highly sought after, as the aged wood has such a nice sound. Not to mention the vintage electronics have a unique sound. OP is right to not sell it back.

The first story: in court cases they always say buyer beware, that should go for sellers as well. The guy selling the guitar had more of an opportunity to look up the price and find it's true worth than the buyer did. If it had later turned out to be worth $5 I doubt he would have been willing to give the guy his money back.
Smack a cop in America these days? Um, Hell to the NO! Jail is the best thing you can end up with in that situation. It could easily end up with you in the forever box. Like cops, dislike cops, that's your prerogative, but treat them with respect if you don't want a real bad, bad day.

Honestly the guitar story. OP is NTA in it. It's like going to a garage sale. Buying something honestly knowing it is worth much more for a great deal. Then having the person regret the sale.
heard a story where OP bought a guitar at a garage sale. the karen in the story said she had bought it for her kid who was 7, and she told OP how great of a musician he was because he played guitar hero all the time, so he was given this guitar by his grandfather, but the guitar was broken because the son couldn't play it. so OP bought the guitar for $50. well, the guitar was a gibson les paul and when karen's ex found out she sold the guitar he got seriously angry, so karen wanted OP to give her back the guitar. As for the guitar, it was in mint condition, only reason the kid couldn't play it is because playing an actual guitar is completely different than playing a guitar in guitar hero, which karen didn't know, and neither did her "guitar prodigy kid"
@@Jerseybytes2 yeah heard that story as well. I don't play and have not played guitar hero and I even know how it looks like. Looks like Karen is her own guitar hero hahahaha
@@TheDarkLink7 we both know what a guitar looks like. well, the guitar in guitar hero (or at least the version my kids had) didn't have strings, and instead had buttons so imagine it as a kind of white piano keys running down the neck of the guitar. if I remember it correctly, each key had a different color. you then put the game on the tv, and the screen would show you which color or colors you hit. if you ever want to see someone who actually played a classical guitar well, look up Charo. As silly as she was on TV you can tell she was classically trained on how to play the guitar. which is why I mentioned her instead of more famous guitar players like Andres Segovia (btw, she actually learned to play the guitar from him)
@@Jerseybytes2 yeah it's something like blue red yellow and I think green. Four buttons to be pressed. And yeah....... somehow that translate to actual strings. I press buttons on my gaming consoles. Guess that makes me a great typer 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Second story: Where I live if a tourist acts that way earns a pummeling from everyone, where I live we appreciate if you spend your money here, but no one cares how much money you have if you are an a**hole. Money can't buy your safety dougebaggery.
The travelling story: I, too, always try to act as a beacon of decency, especially abroad. I‘m German, more precisely Bavarian, and I don‘t like the entitled behaviour of some Germans when on holiday. At the same time, I once sat in a small tavern in the alpes. We were a group of 5 or 6 in our mid twenties, stayed there for a week long camping trip. This was the only tavern (this word just fits best, maybe look up „Wirtshaus“), so we went there in the evening to have a few beers (we couldn’t just sit by the fire, as open fire was banned on the campsite, so we decided to support the local inn). We got friendly with the locals and the innkeeper, a really gruff, down to earth, Bavarian, one of a kind guy. We were having a great time, when a family strolled in. They were the living cliché of city dwellers out in the mountains. Also, their dialect located them somewhere in north-Western Germany. They were „hiking“ in less than adequate gear and literally bleeding snobbishness. Now, this inn served good, homemade, local food - and plenty. But of course, it tasted not processed (if that makes sense). This family mocked the old fashioned interior (again, look up old Bavarian taverns), the heavily meat based menu, the dad complained that his Schweinshaxe (knuckle of pork) had 1) too much fat (duh!) and 2) to hard a crust (which is the best part of the dish). They maybe expected Eisbein (which is also knuckle of port, but cooked, not from the oven/grill). They even disposed the beer (from a local brewery, it wasn‘t the best I ever had, but still quite good, and we take a lot of pride in our beers in Bavaria)! Well, after about half an hour of unpleasant company, the innkeeper had had it. He walked up to them and growled in the broadest Bavarian dialect: „If you don‘t like it, leave. I don’t need you or your money. Get out, don‘t come back and tell all of your friends to never bother me. Now eff off!“ He then took the (still full) plates from under their noses and retreated to the kitchen. The customers were dumbfounded, and we as witnesses of the whole ordeal were nowhere to be seen - we literally slipped under the table from laughing uncontrollably. After the family left (rather deflated, as they left hungry and could of course still hear us roaring from under our chairs, we literally laughed them out), we had the most amazing time. The innkeeper came to sit with us, some locals showed up, we played some cards and stayed until the inn closed (actually, beyond opening hours). And man, we were jagged when we left - it only occurred to us when we sobered up the next morning that the whole evening cost us about 10€ each. We had food and an awful lot of beer. When we came back this day (last day, wanted to say goodbye and ask if we forgot to pay anything), we asked what happened. The innkeeper grinned and said (again, broad Bavarian dialect): „I like guests like you lads. You just were great company, enjoyed your time here, complimented my wife’s cooking and contributed to the funniest night this village has had in a while. I comped your bill, but you insisted to give my son [he was about 16 or so and helped serving] a tip for his school trip. Now, a last beer for the road?“ And that was that. Don‘t mess with a Bavarian innkeeper in a small village tavern. Btw, this happened about 15 years ago, and I still remember it vividly- up to the point I don‘t remember anything at all until the next day…
As someone from NRW… city folk from around here is a pain in the arse I‘m not even from a town (50k+ people in my city) but damn city folk often are on another plane of entitlement and arrogance Also, that’s just wildly stupid - anyone knows that Wirtshäuser mostly serve “gutbürgerlich” (plain/rural) cuisine - such a no-brainer imo But good on you for somewhat bonding with the Wirt/innkeeper over it
What a great story! I was born and raised in Munich, I know what you mean by gruff innkeeper. Those are usually the best (as you discovered). :-) Edit: wo war das? Ich plane gerade meinen nächsten Urlaub, wenn alles gut geht in einem kleinen Dorf südlich von Rosenheim... :-)

The weirdest part of the story with the Americans in Scotland for me was the barkeeper being surprised being tipped by an American. The USA is practically the country where tips are about the most common custom (unfortunately sometime due to fact restaurants don't pay their staff adequately) and the stereotype (at least seen in a lot of othere European countries) for Scottish people is that they are really stingy (just like the Swabians in Germany)..
yes America is the land of tips but from i tend to see more and more entitled people dont tip for a myriad of excuses even if they are wealthy enough to do so without worry its either a spouse in the military, they have kids, etc they concoct any excuse to not have to pay anymore that have (read "want") to
I noticed that too and thought it was odd. I’ve seen a few articles over the years called, “Things Americans do that confuse/surprise Europeans,” that rounds up the latest tweets on that subject. That Americans tip is always on the list.
@@kittys.2870 Yep. By law, wait staff can be paid below minimum wage for their per hour salary, but, if the tips don’t add up to minimum wage, the employer does have to make up the difference. I worked in restaurants as greeters and bussers, but never as wait staff, so I don’t know if they actually come through for their wait staff on that. I mean, they’d have to falsify documents the IRS requires, so I am guessing they do, most wait staff tips get them to minimum wage. But of course: _the minimum wage in America in NOT a living wage, not even CLOSE!_
OP & his house is a free B&B: When I stay with out-of-town relatives vs getting a hotel for myself, I spend double to triple the money. I either send them money to buy extra food for me & to pick me up at the airport or I buy dinners & admittance to events for my hosts. The last trip I took, to NYC, I plunked down $3000 in one day. Anyone who invites themselves to someone's home as a way of getting free accommodations & food is CHEAP & THOUGHTLESS.
The first one - the seller even admitted he had checked out the prices for Telecasters & wanted £4,000 so he did not his due diligence & accepted the £4,000.
It goes both ways. Even if you are selling things in a 'harmless garage sale', you could be losing a lot of money to someone who knows what they are looking for if you don't know what you have. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
My boyfriend is a avid guitar collector, I would refuse to let him resell that. That guitar would become his baby and I would never let anyone touch that guitar for him.
Kinda feel bad for the seller (would have offered him $15k at least), as I am reminded of how his knowledge of guitars was juvenile and it's not good to rip off kids. That said, dude became rather entitled rather fast.
@@Maninawig my father always taught me to hear an offer before saying what you believe the price is for this exact reason. See what the seller wants because they could not know their worth like the seller or they could know what their item is and charge correctly or even more.
@@Maninawig you get what you offer sellers remorse isn't OPs problem In this case OP is in the clear some us don't have a conscious and can live with ourselves
@@cutie12598 yes, and OP did ask, I admit. But I feel like the apperant and claimed lack of knowledge that the seller has makes him no different than a child in this case (when researching guitars, I found there is a lot of nuances that can be overwhelming to some), and know I would feel personally insulted if I found out that the buyer took advantage of that so badly... I think there are plenty of cases to say that's human nature. However, though I might be naive on this front, if OP came back with a higher figure, (I said 15k because it is a nice round figure in the same number of digits), it would still be a great deal, but would show a bit more fairness in negotiations. Idk, I might be stupid or naive, but if I were in the seller's shoes and OP offered me just over double I asked for, it would be easier to reason that it was my fault not to read the room rather than feeling I was swindled by a pro who's laughing at me. Edit: not saying that OP was wrong or an A-hole. Just... I guess that I can see where a small act of kindness might have created a lot more peace on both ends.
Item listed for sale, price was given and agreed upon, op paid asked price!! Seller should have not offered it for sale without doing research to find out it's value, he was the idiot!!!

Anyways, you are taught quickly, and learn even faster that you are NEVER to disrespect others in a foreign country because public opinion about American visitors can start at 80 out of 100, and go deep into the negatives if so much as one person does something bad enough. To keep it vague, there was a very bad incident another Marine did out in town with some other ones, and let me tell you it did not go over well as it took about 4(ish) months to repair the damage.

I have been all over Central and South America. I spoke the language, treated everyone respectfully, obeyed all airport security regulations, and paid and tipped well. I hated dealing with the entitled American attitude. They were rude and either discussed in oversized Earth Mother Moo-Moo’s how they“enlightened,” the “local natives,” or were wealthy liberals who talked crap, about the airport security. In Costa Rica the Customs officials had a chip on their shoulder as they get a lot of entitled Americans. One got into an argument with one about an item she purchased that was considered a weapon. Her entitlement got her arrested.

Yes, but in the series you're talking about 1. It's televised or recorded for public consumption and 2. They're running a business. Return business is more important than one off sales.
When someone tells me that...",,,, i am not coming back!". My response has always been "Can I count on that" or " Is that a promise?" or "Thank God for that!"
The third story: As someone who has worked in customer service for many years, when problem customers use the line or threaten to never come back, I have to bite my tongue so I don't clap back with something witty. One time I didn't and told a lady “You promise? No one likes serving you. You're rude, entitled and you talk to people like they're less than human. You need to do some soul searching and figure out why you treat people as horribly as you do.” Her face went ash white in her eyes bugged out of her head. Naturally she asked for the manager, but two of my regulars who come into see me for every shift, were seated right across from her. They defended me and said that the woman was a real piece of work. I did not get in trouble. If that lady has been back, I haven't seen her. I feel for her husband. If she has one.
The woman in the second story really needs to be careful about where and to whom to runs her mouth, especially in Scotland. That's the fastest way to be given a Glasgow kiss.

The look on his face was priceless!
When I worked in a restaurant my manager had the following to say to people who claim they'll never come back: "Good. We don't need your money anyway."
First thing about being a good guest, never abuse hospitality, especially if you visit/room with friends/family, and they take you to good places. Couple of months ago, I visited my little brother, and he took me to this Japanese hibachi steakhouse. We didn't get the Show seats, where you actually watch them cook right in front of you - hour long wait for that - so we went to a different table to, as my brother put it, "Just eat." The meal was delicious. Now, the price of my meal, not including drinks and the like, was over $30. So, I gave my brother $50, because it wasn't just the two of us - as his then good friend (now girlfriend) was also eating with us. Got to make things easier for him you know. Then there was the belated-b-day gift I bought for him. Still, I had fun.
Getting the market value of an item before the sale is the responsibility of the seller. The buyer can take it or leave it, they can tell the seller he’s underselling but they aren’t required too!
I think it's funny that a Karen was pissed she thought a criminal was disrespecting an officer and then she actually turns around and smacks one! 🤣 I guess she thought disrespecting police is only something Karens are allowed to do.
I love that the guitar buyer stuck to his guns and refused to sell it back. Guitars like that are worth so much they end up sitting in their case or on the wall. They are made to be played and I'm glad it went to a player.
The last story - OP, how much would your kids charge for renting one of their rooms? How much do you charge for meals and sight seeing guide? Sounds like y’all have a great VRBO opportunity on your hands ☺️🤔😊
That last story really hit home. My wife and son moved to China for 7 years. When we were in Beijing we had another ending parade of relatives that we seldom saw in the past. One particular and an uncle showed up with just one day's notice. As a result, we are very conscious about our behavior when we travel and stay with family. I have an aunt and uncle back in the states that we quite like. When we go back they allow us to stay and we always be sure to pay for meals, rent our own car so they're not driving us everywhere, and keep them informed on where we're going and when will be back (and should we stay longer or come back sooner) Other family members have stayed with the same uncle and Aunt and I know that they do not do the same as us. I don't have a problem staying with family when you travel, I don't even have a problem with getting a free room from family when you travel but you're supposed to TREAT YOUR HOST LIKE FAMILY! When they pick you up at the airport, take them out for dinner on the way home. On grocery shopping day, go with them and buy the groceries. My my aunt and uncle pick us up at the airport and they drop us off. I make sure that that is the largest expense that they have during our stay. Even with everything that we do and pay for it is still so much cheaper than staying at a hotel and I like my aunt and uncle, they're more fun than staying at a hotel. Win win
Final story - after they retired my parents started traveling all over Europe and making friends. Pretty soon they had places to visit for free and the friends also visited since my parents lived in a vacation destination. In their case it worked out well.
My family has a story that is kind of like the guitar story. My mom used to collect figurines, salt/pepper shakers, and other pretty knick knacks. My dad was at a garage sale and picked her up a pretty little thing for $10. It was very beautiful and fancy looking, so mom had him take it to an arts appraiser. It turned out to be a Faberge (sp?) egg worth nearly $100k. They took the egg back to the lady he brought it from, explained what it was, then showed her the appraisal report. They offered to sell it back to her for the $10 dad paid for it, but she wouldn't take it back at that price. Her reason? She didn't do the research to know what it was or how much it's worth and dad bought it fairly at the price she set for it. They did, however, negotiate and my parents sold it back to her for $45k. She was having the garage sale to raise funds for a surgery her mom needed and my parents later found out she was able to sell it at an art auction a couple weeks later for $86,500. That was more than enough to pay for the surgery and have a comfortable amount left over.
@@jamesfan3010 That's just one of the many stories I have about things my parents did to help others. Growing up, they constantly looked for ways to teach me and my siblings what it means to be a decent human being and live with integrity.
Last story... free accommodation, food, and taken somewhere, then go on to complain... surprised it took 3 years! Wouldn't have taken me that long to stop it.

The first story reminds me of a quote I heard recently: _I think that money spoils most things, once it becomes the primary motivating force._ ~John Cleese I guess one _thing_ that can also be _spoiled_ is people. Now one thing I always say is that it’s not the paper notes that people love, it’s what they represent, or what you know you can turn them in for: nice houses, cars, pools, cribs, party stuff and other material pleasures. The most money hungry people are the most materialistic.
My husband and I lived on an island in the Caribbean. We had several people call and announce they were coming to visit on a particular date. Never did they ask if it was a convenient time or if we wanted them to come. Several complained that we didn't take off work so we could go places with them (we explained it was their vacation, not ours). One guy complained because we didn't have a dishwasher so our dishes weren't sanitary ( I bought paper plates and plastic flatware for him to use). One of our friends took this guy all over the island and the guy complained about the food at the places he chose to eat at and bitched about me all day, but never offered to buy lunch for our friend nor offer gas money (this was a guy working for minimum wage). He told the Spanish speaking islanders they were pronouncing Spanish wrongly (he speaks Mexican Spanish, not Caribbean Spanish). He expected me to take him to the airport. I took him to a taxi stand and paid the cabbie including the tip (he is opposed to tipping). he said he was afraid to use an ATM that was not his own banks. He saw someone he had flown with on the way to the island and bragged that he had only spent $20.00 for his entire 2 weeks vacation. I hope to never see this bum again, and we really used to be friends. We have moved to the desert and didn't give him our new address.
Years ago I bought an Amalio Bouget flamenco guitar for five hundred dollars. These are among the finest guitars of their kind in the world, worth at least five thousand American, and verifiable on line. The man selling it had received it as a fifth anniversary gift from his then wife and was selling it after the marriage had broken up many years later, to annoy her. I wonder how he felt when he told her what he had done and she told him what it was worth. Fortunately, he was not idiot enough to call me and ask for more. Kudos to OP on finding his dream instrument at a great price! Now he knows that any mistake he makes is his own fault, not that of an inferior instrument.
I spent 4 yrs in Germany as a military personnel. We found a place in a small village to live. At first we were not warmly received but as we tried very hard to learn the language and would greet our neighbors in German they warmed up to us. Appears the previous tenants were also military and were very rude to the villagers. We ended up changing the villagers view of Americans and for the 4 years we lived there we were treated like family and were invited to many personal events. I really cried when we had to leave to go back to the states.
First story: I was in a slightly similar situation. I had bought a book at auction, and it turned out to be (a) inscribed to the previous owner by the guest of honor at a recent science fiction convention, and (b) donated by a friend of mine. I asked him if he had intended to donate that particular book. He had donated it by mistake, so I sold it back to him for what he had paid. Had it been someone I don't know, and someone who said he had researched the price on the internet, I'd have been less accommodating.
The guy who sold the guitar allegedly did research about Telecasters and then willingly sold it for £4,000… that’s absolutely on him. He clearly didn’t research and is now upset because he’s an idiot. He sold it fair and square and is not being an utter child about it.

In the guitar story, OP is NTA. The seller could have done the exact same research if he cared to get an accurate and fair price. He didn't and that is only his own fault.
I remember another story where OP got a signed guitar for 40$ when it was worth like a million. When he ends up questioning the mother why she’s selling the guitar, she responds “it’s broken, my baby boy was playing a guitar themed game so I gave him this guitar but he can’t play it for some reason, so it’s broken” (abridged). So he ends up buying it, it took a while for the actual worth to get back to the wife and she demanded he returned it back. The real kick in the pants was it was owned on the fathers side of the family and she didn’t tell him she sold it.
Yes. Take it to a guitar expert or a memorabilia type person. Someone who knows their stuff. Something is worth EXACTLY what someone else is willing to pay for it.

They guy wanted to sell it without more research, he had a friend that suddenly he remembered that knows its worth. He had his chance.
It sounds to me he didn’t bother to ask OP, “You’re an expert; can you tell me how much you think it might be worth?” Instead he wanted to sound like an expert and to be able to tell people, “I sold a guitar for a great price!” It’s unfortunate, but it’s his own fault for not being humble.

Case law on the guitar story is very clear. You're allowed to sell something for less than it's worth. And if you later find out that you sold it for less than it worth, that's your fault.
"When the transaction is complete, if they do not wish you dead then you have left money on the table."
You sound like a Deveel ;^D
You are correct, but there is contract law that could be argued concerning either unconscionability or unilateral mistake if one party is aware that the other has made a mistake. OP admits that he knew the actual value of the guitar. If OP didn't know, free and clear, but I think the angry a-hole has a case (though admittedly not a great one).
@@sinclairbowman92 Overpriced "luxury" goods are a prime example for undermining your argument. To the best of my understanding, there has to be some kind of malicious deception beyond the usual "getting the highest price for your wares" shtick. Generally some kind of fraudulent misrepresentation (counterfeit goods, undisclosed breakage, or undisclosed missing critical parts), or one side (usually the buyer) completely misunderstanding the nature of the deal (ie you think you're buying a car, but only get a picture of a car) are some of the few things that could make that kind of case viable. Otherwise, it's functionally next to impossible to win the case. The only other way to undo these kinds of deals is if one party was obviously showing signs of mental impairment of some kind that the other party should have recognized.
But I am basing all of this on Canadian case law from a business law course. Laws could be different in DUMerica.
@@imofage3947 so in America, unilateral mistake, where one person knows of the mistake, makes for a voidable contract. Here, Seller was basing what was fair on what he saw telecasters going for generally online, not knowing this specific telecaster was worth way way more. It’s not that buyer knew he was getting a deal, but knowing that deal was based on a mistake that he knew seller was making.
When one person benefits from the known mistake of another, the contract is voidable. I don’t think it’s dumb that there’s a protection in place so people can’t be taken advantage of that easily. And the $46k he’s out, while it shouldn’t led to his saying such awful stuff, is understandable. It’s life changing money that Seller should have.
@@imofage3947 also, in this case, it was expressed to seller that buyer understood that the deal was way too good. Normally, it would be hard to prove, but there are factors here that lets seller know that buyer knew and took advantage of his mistake. Including his wife’s own words.

1st story: The guy who sold the guitar was an idiot. Always do your own research first on the value of something before you sell it. Because it is not just buyer beware, it is also seller be aware too. Even if the OP then went on to sell the guitar for some awesome profit, they would still not be the butthole as the seller had every chance to lookup the guitar themselves to know the actual value. Also lets be honest, most people would have bought it cheap and sold it for the large profit.
Story 2: America needs to revoke her license to come back here if she is that entitled.
that Karen acted like a democrat who thinks the are gods of the world
*First Story:* No, the guy doesn't deserve the guitar back. He didn't know the value to begin with, he sold it.
*Fourth Story:* My uncle is always tells me stories about people who think they can hit cops, spit on them, whatever. And they are almost always shocked when they're arrested for "assaulting an officer." Especially wealthier morons.
Aren't some of them usually the ones that say "well those people should had comply and they wouldn't gotten into such and such"
Fourth story; I remember a Red Skelton sketch that played on that. He was a bum and needed a warm place to sleep, so after trying to be arrested in so many ways, he ended up asking how long he'd get for slapping a cop.
Twas a good Christmas.
The seller dood admitted had done his due dilligence by looking up the value of the guitar online before setting his price. Four grand for a 'free' guitar is better'n nothing. Besides, Uncle Whiskers (IRS) would've wanted his cut of that Fifty Grand - especially if that income put you in a higher tax bracket...
It's the same as antiques buyers do. They KNOW when they see a piece from the let's say early 1900 ds. It's the SELLERL FAULT if they don't know how to sell real anitques or cheap imitations. I MEAN IT'S YOUR JOB! LEARN IT !
@@chezsnailez he just looked up the modern guitar or at most the orginal price. Its a good lesson for that moron. If you're selling anything factor in how old it is and always get it appraised. Then look for the correct market

Yeah, of course if it involves conversation it should be easy to tell people from their accent. I'm talking more about when the foreigner is hanging out with their local friend who is the one to make an order and such, there are many situations where someone would leave a tip to a without ever hearing how they talk. You know, non entitled people are just trying to have a nice day, not attracting attention to the fact that they aren't from the area, so by large difference it's the loud obnoxious people the ones who stand out and leave a lasting impression tied to where they are from.

The guitar OP was NTA. The seller looked it up online and offered to sell it for a price he found online. It is not the buyers' fault that the seller did crappy research.
First Story: That's the fault of the seller--he should do some research about the product he is selling first before selling it. The buyer is lucky. I also buy musical instruments--melodicas in particular, and when a seller gives me a melodica for a price cheaper than expected, I pay for it and grab it ASAP. That's how I scored a specific melodica for $11, when I saw one online for around $60.

The guitar story just shows, if you are selling something which you have inherited, and want to get top dollar for it, you had better make sure you know what it is worth. Look online for auction prices for the exact same make and model if it is a production item, or very similar items if it is one of a kind. If you don't do this, and a buyer pays you the price you are asking, don't complain. You got the price you asked. That's an end to it.

The first story: in court cases they always say buyer beware, that should go for sellers as well.

If it had later turned out to be worth $5 I doubt he would have been willing to give the guy his money back.

heard a story where OP bought a guitar at a garage sale. the karen in the story said she had bought it for her kid who was 7, and she told OP how great of a musician he was because he played guitar hero all the time, so he was given this guitar by his grandfather, but the guitar was broken because the son couldn't play it. so OP bought the guitar for $50. well, the guitar was a gibson les paul and when karen's ex found out she sold the guitar he got seriously angry, so karen wanted OP to give her back the guitar. As for the guitar, it was in mint condition, only reason the kid couldn't play it is because playing an actual guitar is completely different than playing a guitar in guitar hero, which karen didn't know, and neither did her "guitar prodigy kid"
@@Jerseybytes2 yeah heard that story as well. I don't play and have not played guitar hero and I even know how it looks like. Looks like Karen is her own guitar hero hahahaha
@@TheDarkLink7 we both know what a guitar looks like. well, the guitar in guitar hero (or at least the version my kids had) didn't have strings, and instead had buttons so imagine it as a kind of white piano keys running down the neck of the guitar. if I remember it correctly, each key had a different color. you then put the game on the tv, and the screen would show you which color or colors you hit.
if you ever want to see someone who actually played a classical guitar well, look up Charo.

The travelling story: I, too, always try to act as a beacon of decency, especially abroad. I‘m German, more precisely Bavarian, and I don‘t like the entitled behaviour of some Germans when on holiday.
At the same time, I once sat in a small tavern in the alpes. We were a group of 5 or 6 in our mid twenties, stayed there for a week long camping trip. This was the only tavern (this word just fits best, maybe look up „Wirtshaus“), so we went there in the evening to have a few beers (we couldn’t just sit by the fire, as open fire was banned on the campsite, so we decided to support the local inn). We got friendly with the locals and the innkeeper, a really gruff, down to earth, Bavarian, one of a kind guy. We were having a great time, when a family strolled in. They were the living cliché of city dwellers out in the mountains. Also, their dialect located them somewhere in north-Western Germany. They were „hiking“ in less than adequate gear and literally bleeding snobbishness. Now, this inn served good, homemade, local food - and plenty. But of course, it tasted not processed (if that makes sense).
This family mocked the old fashioned interior (again, look up old Bavarian taverns), the heavily meat based menu, the dad complained that his Schweinshaxe (knuckle of pork) had 1) too much fat (duh!) and 2) to hard a crust (which is the best part of the dish). They maybe expected Eisbein (which is also knuckle of port, but cooked, not from the oven/grill). They even disposed the beer (from a local brewery, it wasn‘t the best I ever had, but still quite good, and we take a lot of pride in our beers in Bavaria)!
Well, after about half an hour of unpleasant company, the innkeeper had had it. He walked up to them and growled in the broadest Bavarian dialect: „If you don‘t like it, leave. I don’t need you or your money. Get out, don‘t come back and tell all of your friends to never bother me. Now eff off!“ He then took the (still full) plates from under their noses and retreated to the kitchen. The customers were dumbfounded, and we as witnesses of the whole ordeal were nowhere to be seen - we literally slipped under the table from laughing uncontrollably.
After the family left (rather deflated, as they left hungry and could of course still hear us roaring from under our chairs, we literally laughed them out), we had the most amazing time. The innkeeper came to sit with us, some locals showed up, we played some cards and stayed until the inn closed (actually, beyond opening hours). And man, we were jagged when we left - it only occurred to us when we sobered up the next morning that the whole evening cost us about 10€ each. We had food and an awful lot of beer.
When we came back this day (last day, wanted to say goodbye and ask if we forgot to pay anything), we asked what happened. The innkeeper grinned and said (again, broad Bavarian dialect): „I like guests like you lads. You just were great company, enjoyed your time here, complimented my wife’s cooking and contributed to the funniest night this village has had in a while. I comped your bill, but you insisted to give my son [he was about 16 or so and helped serving] a tip for his school trip. Now, a last beer for the road?“
And that was that. Don‘t mess with a Bavarian innkeeper in a small village tavern.
Btw, this happened about 15 years ago, and I still remember it vividly- up to the point I don‘t remember anything at all until the next day…
As someone from NRW… city folk from around here is a pain in the arse
I‘m not even from a town (50k+ people in my city) but damn city folk often are on another plane of entitlement and arrogance
Also, that’s just wildly stupid - anyone knows that Wirtshäuser mostly serve “gutbürgerlich” (plain/rural) cuisine - such a no-brainer imo
But good on you for somewhat bonding with the Wirt/innkeeper over it
What a great story! I was born and raised in Munich, I know what you mean by gruff innkeeper. Those are usually the best (as you discovered). :-)
Edit: wo war das? Ich plane gerade meinen nächsten Urlaub, wenn alles gut geht in einem kleinen Dorf südlich von Rosenheim... :-)
@@realulli ich schätze mal, das Wirtshaus (oder wenigstens den Wirt) gibt‘s nicht mehr. Der war damals schon gut über 60. Kleines Kaff irgendwo um Ruhpolding, ich weiß nicht mehr genau, wie das hieß.
Scammer: "I'm never coming back here!"
Me: "Promise? How about I get that in writing?"
if he was dumb enough NOT to do his due diligence, especially seeing as there is half a million sources, may the lack of chips fall where they may.
Story 3: Karen: "I'll never come back here" should have answered with "Thank you. That would save me needing to ban you from coming again."
The weirdest part of the story with the Americans in Scotland for me was the barkeeper being surprised being tipped by an American. The USA is practically the country where tips are about the most common custom (unfortunately sometime due to fact restaurants don't pay their staff adequately) and the stereotype (at least seen in a lot of othere European countries) for Scottish people is that they are really stingy (just like the Swabians in Germany)..
yes America is the land of tips but from i tend to see more and more entitled people dont tip for a myriad of excuses even if they are wealthy enough to do so without worry
its either a spouse in the military, they have kids, etc
they concoct any excuse to not have to pay anymore that have (read "want") to
I noticed that too and thought it was odd. I’ve seen a few articles over the years called, “Things Americans do that confuse/surprise Europeans,” that rounds up the latest tweets on that subject. That Americans tip is always on the list.
To many people rely on tips because their employer wont pay a living wage!
@@kittys.2870 Yep. By law, wait staff can be paid below minimum wage for their per hour salary, but, if the tips don’t add up to minimum wage, the employer does have to make up the difference. I worked in restaurants as greeters and bussers, but never as wait staff, so I don’t know if they actually come through for their wait staff on that. I mean, they’d have to falsify documents the IRS requires, so I am guessing they do, most wait staff tips get them to minimum wage. But of course: _the minimum wage in America in NOT a living wage, not even CLOSE!_
I'm American, I tip people, and I have no Scottish in my blood. Mostly German.
"At the time we had a president that not everyone was a fan of."
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
I thought that also, lol.
She went to Europe, so "Republican" is a safe bet 😜
Yeah, personally I had no problem figuring out who they were talking about.
@@Shea333-n3k or so you assume
OP & his house is a free B&B: When I stay with out-of-town relatives vs getting a hotel for myself, I spend double to triple the money. I either send them money to buy extra food for me & to pick me up at the airport or I buy dinners & admittance to events for my hosts. The last trip I took, to NYC, I plunked down $3000 in one day. Anyone who invites themselves to someone's home as a way of getting free accommodations & food is CHEAP & THOUGHTLESS.
Dear second guy, for you polite behaviour, overwhelming kindness, and support of the Commonwealth, I’d like to make you an Honorary Canadian.
The first one - the seller even admitted he had checked out the prices for Telecasters & wanted £4,000 so he did not his due diligence & accepted the £4,000.
As far as the guitar goes, I think as well as "buyer beware" "seller beware" should apply.
Reminds me of some TH-cam shorts where a guy is scamming yard sellers out fo their money
It goes both ways. Even if you are selling things in a 'harmless garage sale', you could be losing a lot of money to someone who knows what they are looking for if you don't know what you have. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
1story: This is why I always get a bill of sale on everything bought or traded. I insist that we both sign the bill of sale or trade.
My boyfriend is a avid guitar collector, I would refuse to let him resell that. That guitar would become his baby and I would never let anyone touch that guitar for him.
Kinda feel bad for the seller (would have offered him $15k at least), as I am reminded of how his knowledge of guitars was juvenile and it's not good to rip off kids.
That said, dude became rather entitled rather fast.
@@Maninawig my father always taught me to hear an offer before saying what you believe the price is for this exact reason. See what the seller wants because they could not know their worth like the seller or they could know what their item is and charge correctly or even more.
@@Maninawig you get what you offer sellers remorse isn't OPs problem
In this case OP is in the clear some us don't have a conscious and can live with ourselves
@@velvetdarksoul8741 ok, so you're saying that it's ok to rip off kids because seller's remorse is not your problem?
@@cutie12598 yes, and OP did ask, I admit. But I feel like the apperant and claimed lack of knowledge that the seller has makes him no different than a child in this case (when researching guitars, I found there is a lot of nuances that can be overwhelming to some), and know I would feel personally insulted if I found out that the buyer took advantage of that so badly... I think there are plenty of cases to say that's human nature. However, though I might be naive on this front, if OP came back with a higher figure, (I said 15k because it is a nice round figure in the same number of digits), it would still be a great deal, but would show a bit more fairness in negotiations.
Idk, I might be stupid or naive, but if I were in the seller's shoes and OP offered me just over double I asked for, it would be easier to reason that it was my fault not to read the room rather than feeling I was swindled by a pro who's laughing at me.
Edit: not saying that OP was wrong or an A-hole. Just... I guess that I can see where a small act of kindness might have created a lot more peace on both ends.
"A tip? From an American?"
Considering we're the best tippers in the world, yes.
I worked in a (german) hotel for years. Can't say that americans tip more than others. Indians and Russians generally were the best tippers.
"I can act any way I want because that's the law in America!"
I- what--...there is *SO much* wrong with that I don't even know where to start 😵
Item listed for sale, price was given and agreed upon, op paid asked price!! Seller should have not offered it for sale without doing research to find out it's value, he was the idiot!!!
I live in a 3rd world country and this "superior behavior" is a real thing. I understand it's a loud minority but sometimes it's hard to remember that.
Yeah, as a Canadian that has been harmed by that stereotype, I have a hard time thinking it is a minor thought and more of an unrealized trait... Like how some countries find eye contact rude, but others don't.
@@Maninawig what? The Canadian stereotype is the complete opposite.
@@igorfv yes, but when the US Karen's realized that, they started stitching the Canadian flag on their stuff to get our rep and becoming even more entitled because they felt the anonymity.
It got so bad that US Customs has a travel brochure for Americans travelling abroad that states "do not see other country's flags on your backpacks."
@@Maninawig WTH! When did Karens became smart?
@@igorfv oh the change in policy happened shortly before 2006, with 2000 having warnings from Canada's Department of Travel warning Canadians to be on their best regards (as yeah our embassy were getting innondated.)
*gives virtual hug 🤗 to mr fluffington*
Story 2 struck a certain cord with me. To keep this simple I was in the Marines in Korea a few years back, got out in 2016, good times.
Anyways, you are taught quickly, and learn even faster that you are NEVER to disrespect others in a foreign country because public opinion about American visitors can start at 80 out of 100, and go deep into the negatives if so much as one person does something bad enough. To keep it vague, there was a very bad incident another Marine did out in town with some other ones, and let me tell you it did not go over well as it took about 4(ish) months to repair the damage.
Story 5: I feel bad for OP. Being taken advantage of like that.
Doesn't have to be. Has a big family; "Sorry, no room at THIS inn, try down the road, their service is impeccable". Learn to say no before resentment sets in.
I have been all over Central and South America. I spoke the language, treated everyone respectfully, obeyed all airport security regulations, and paid and tipped well. I hated dealing with the entitled American attitude. They were rude and either discussed in oversized Earth Mother Moo-Moo’s how they“enlightened,” the “local natives,” or were wealthy liberals who talked crap, about the airport security. In Costa Rica the Customs officials had a chip on their shoulder as they get a lot of entitled Americans. One got into an argument with one about an item she purchased that was considered a weapon. Her entitlement got her arrested.
In Pawn Stars, Rick would have been honest and give the guitar seller a fair price. Legal or illegal, right or wrong, their is still a thing called integrity.
Yes, but in the series you're talking about 1. It's televised or recorded for public consumption and 2. They're running a business. Return business is more important than one off sales.
Guitar value: ‘’he thought $4000 was fair.’’ He determined the price. He decided to sell. Interaction done!
Story one I’d sell it back for 50000
"I _am_ the manager." is such a satisfying power move...
"I'm never coming back here!"
"You promise?!"
When someone tells me that...",,,, i am not coming back!". My response has always been "Can I count on that" or " Is that a promise?" or "Thank God for that!"
The third story: As someone who has worked in customer service for many years, when problem customers use the line or threaten to never come back, I have to bite my tongue so I don't clap back with something witty. One time I didn't and told a lady “You promise? No one likes serving you. You're rude, entitled and you talk to people like they're less than human. You need to do some soul searching and figure out why you treat people as horribly as you do.” Her face went ash white in her eyes bugged out of her head. Naturally she asked for the manager, but two of my regulars who come into see me for every shift, were seated right across from her. They defended me and said that the woman was a real piece of work. I did not get in trouble. If that lady has been back, I haven't seen her. I feel for her husband. If she has one.
What? Do you sue every pawn shop that pay you less than what an item is worth?
The woman in the second story really needs to be careful about where and to whom to runs her mouth, especially in Scotland. That's the fastest way to be given a Glasgow kiss.
was going to post something similar, Weegie checkin in...
We measure patient conciousness on the Glasgow Coma Scale for a reason.
@@GhostBear3067 That's how we measure how drunk you are ;)
@@spacedinvader9773 I was referring to the medical Glasgow Coma Scale, not the bar one, though I guess both are relevant to my job for different reasons.🤔
@@GhostBear3067 I know, they're both the same really, it's a joke. GCS2 = that boy's going to have a 3 day hangover! :D
Honestly glad to hear that there are at least some Americans who act civilly when they come to Britain and treat all the countries with respect. 👏
Also, someone tell that person that Jeeves is spelled with a J, not G. 🤦♀️
Customer Karen “I’m never coming back here!”
Me “Oh, Thank You So Much!”
Story 3. A while back I was a customer in a business and happened to be nearby when this entitled jerk was harassing an employee! I was getting fed up when he pulled the "I'm never coming back to this store again!" Before the employee could respond I shot back at him "I will damned sure be a witness to that, and if I happen to be shopping here and you show up, I WILL see that you keep that promise"! The look on his face was priceless!
When I worked in a restaurant my manager had the following to say to people who claim they'll never come back: "Good. We don't need your money anyway."
First thing about being a good guest, never abuse hospitality, especially if you visit/room with friends/family, and they take you to good places.
Couple of months ago, I visited my little brother, and he took me to this Japanese hibachi steakhouse. We didn't get the Show seats, where you actually watch them cook right in front of you - hour long wait for that - so we went to a different table to, as my brother put it, "Just eat." The meal was delicious. Now, the price of my meal, not including drinks and the like, was over $30. So, I gave my brother $50, because it wasn't just the two of us - as his then good friend (now girlfriend) was also eating with us. Got to make things easier for him you know. Then there was the belated-b-day gift I bought for him. Still, I had fun.
Once you sell or trade something away it's no longer your property this guy saying that it was "originally his property is complete bs at this point"
Getting the market value of an item before the sale is the responsibility of the seller. The buyer can take it or leave it, they can tell the seller he’s underselling but they aren’t required too!
It was the sellers responsibility to know the value of what he was selling.
I think it's funny that a Karen was pissed she thought a criminal was disrespecting an officer and then she actually turns around and smacks one! 🤣 I guess she thought disrespecting police is only something Karens are allowed to do.
“I may be dumb but I’m not stupid”
Me: hol’ up that just broke my brain🤣
Honestly if a Karen customer saying they wouldn't be coming back, I'd literally be like "can I get that in writing"
Take that answering machine to the cops, you've practically just been handed a confession of ill intent
I love that the guitar buyer stuck to his guns and refused to sell it back. Guitars like that are worth so much they end up sitting in their case or on the wall. They are made to be played and I'm glad it went to a player.
Story 1: once he gave the guitar and money exchanged hands it’s no longer his, no matter for how little or much he sold it for.
The last story - OP, how much would your kids charge for renting one of their rooms? How much do you charge for meals and sight seeing guide? Sounds like y’all have a great VRBO opportunity on your hands ☺️🤔😊
As a Scot, I’m glad OP and his wife had a great time in Scotland 🏴. As my Mum says “There’s good and bad everywhere.
That last story really hit home.
My wife and son moved to China for 7 years. When we were in Beijing we had another ending parade of relatives that we seldom saw in the past. One particular and an uncle showed up with just one day's notice. As a result, we are very conscious about our behavior when we travel and stay with family.
I have an aunt and uncle back in the states that we quite like. When we go back they allow us to stay and we always be sure to pay for meals, rent our own car so they're not driving us everywhere, and keep them informed on where we're going and when will be back (and should we stay longer or come back sooner)
Other family members have stayed with the same uncle and Aunt and I know that they do not do the same as us.
I don't have a problem staying with family when you travel, I don't even have a problem with getting a free room from family when you travel but you're supposed to TREAT YOUR HOST LIKE FAMILY! When they pick you up at the airport, take them out for dinner on the way home.
On grocery shopping day, go with them and buy the groceries.
My my aunt and uncle pick us up at the airport and they drop us off. I make sure that that is the largest expense that they have during our stay. Even with everything that we do and pay for it is still so much cheaper than staying at a hotel and I like my aunt and uncle, they're more fun than staying at a hotel. Win win
Final story - after they retired my parents started traveling all over Europe and making friends. Pretty soon they had places to visit for free and the friends also visited since my parents lived in a vacation destination. In their case it worked out well.
Yeah. Because your parents probably acted like DECENT human beings and not like A**holes like the ones in the final story.
Karen "I'm NEVER coming back here!" Me "Promise???"

Entitled Person: I have enough money to buy you and your whole family
Me (Snarkily): Not if we don't sell to you.
I don't even play guitar but for 4K, I'd buy that Telecaster in a heartbeat.
My family has a story that is kind of like the guitar story. My mom used to collect figurines, salt/pepper shakers, and other pretty knick knacks. My dad was at a garage sale and picked her up a pretty little thing for $10. It was very beautiful and fancy looking, so mom had him take it to an arts appraiser. It turned out to be a Faberge (sp?) egg worth nearly $100k. They took the egg back to the lady he brought it from, explained what it was, then showed her the appraisal report. They offered to sell it back to her for the $10 dad paid for it, but she wouldn't take it back at that price. Her reason? She didn't do the research to know what it was or how much it's worth and dad bought it fairly at the price she set for it. They did, however, negotiate and my parents sold it back to her for $45k. She was having the garage sale to raise funds for a surgery her mom needed and my parents later found out she was able to sell it at an art auction a couple weeks later for $86,500. That was more than enough to pay for the surgery and have a comfortable amount left over.
Now THAT'S a beautiful story!!!
@@jamesfan3010 That's just one of the many stories I have about things my parents did to help others. Growing up, they constantly looked for ways to teach me and my siblings what it means to be a decent human being and live with integrity.
Customer " I'M never coming back here!" Owner "Promises.. Promises!"
Last story... free accommodation, food, and taken somewhere, then go on to complain... surprised it took 3 years! Wouldn't have taken me that long to stop it.
What is it about Karen’s that they think hitting someone or destroying/throwing things, will get them whatever crazy thing(s) Karen’s want done-and think they can get away with it or play the “victim”??
Their tantrums got them what they wanted when they were kids, so they think it will work now.
"I can act the way I like because that is the law of America..." IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY
YA that works, some crazy politician can make laws that apply on the OTHER SIDE of the planet
The first story reminds me of a quote I heard recently:
_I think that money spoils most things, once it becomes the primary motivating force._
~John Cleese
I guess one _thing_ that can also be _spoiled_ is people. Now one thing I always say is that it’s not the paper notes that people love, it’s what they represent, or what you know you can turn them in for: nice houses, cars, pools, cribs, party stuff and other material pleasures. The most money hungry people are the most materialistic.
The Karen who slapped the commander was on drugs to do that.
...or she is so abusive that she slapped him by reflex without thinking about it.
I would have told him, "Sure I'll sell it back to you. 50,000 dollars please!
My husband and I lived on an island in the Caribbean. We had several people call and announce they were coming to visit on a particular date. Never did they ask if it was a convenient time or if we wanted them to come. Several complained that we didn't take off work so we could go places with them (we explained it was their vacation, not ours). One guy complained because we didn't have a dishwasher so our dishes weren't sanitary ( I bought paper plates and plastic flatware for him to use). One of our friends took this guy all over the island and the guy complained about the food at the places he chose to eat at and bitched about me all day, but never offered to buy lunch for our friend nor offer gas money (this was a guy working for minimum wage). He told the Spanish speaking islanders they were pronouncing Spanish wrongly (he speaks Mexican Spanish, not Caribbean Spanish). He expected me to take him to the airport. I took him to a taxi stand and paid the cabbie including the tip (he is opposed to tipping). he said he was afraid to use an ATM that was not his own banks. He saw someone he had flown with on the way to the island and bragged that he had only spent $20.00 for his entire 2 weeks vacation. I hope to never see this bum again, and we really used to be friends. We have moved to the desert and didn't give him our new address.
Years ago I bought an Amalio Bouget flamenco guitar for five hundred dollars. These are among the finest guitars of their kind in the world, worth at least five thousand American, and verifiable on line. The man selling it had received it as a fifth anniversary gift from his then wife and was selling it after the marriage had broken up many years later, to annoy her.
I wonder how he felt when he told her what he had done and she told him what it was worth. Fortunately, he was not idiot enough to call me and ask for more. Kudos to OP on finding his dream instrument at a great price! Now he knows that any mistake he makes is his own fault, not that of an inferior instrument.
I spent 4 yrs in Germany as a military personnel. We found a place in a small village to live. At first we were not warmly received but as we tried very hard to learn the language and would greet our neighbors in German they warmed up to us. Appears the previous tenants were also military and were very rude to the villagers. We ended up changing the villagers view of Americans and for the 4 years we lived there we were treated like family and were invited to many personal events. I really cried when we had to leave to go back to the states.
First story: I was in a slightly similar situation. I had bought a book at auction, and it turned out to be (a) inscribed to the previous owner by the guest of honor at a recent science fiction convention, and (b) donated by a friend of mine. I asked him if he had intended to donate that particular book. He had donated it by mistake, so I sold it back to him for what he had paid.
Had it been someone I don't know, and someone who said he had researched the price on the internet, I'd have been less accommodating.

The guy who sold the guitar allegedly did research about Telecasters and then willingly sold it for £4,000… that’s absolutely on him. He clearly didn’t research and is now upset because he’s an idiot. He sold it fair and square and is not being an utter child about it.
I THINK THE GUY WHO SOLD THE
GUITAR 2 OP HAS NO RIGHT DEMAND THE GUITAR BACK JUST
CAUSE HE FOUND THAT THE VALUE
OP asked for a price on the guitar and was given one. He accepted and paid. DONE DEAL! Do your research before you sale something.
"The Karen" who attacked the cops, forgot to "salute the leader" and thought she called "the protection squadron" when she was calling 911.
