LOL you blew that cops mind seriously, as soon as you said what if shes just playing the game of getting the cash for it then making a false claim to get it back for free his face was just like "holy shit I didn't think of that"
the cop see's this shit more than you think. At the end of the day the shop took the bait for a stolen item. That is why pawn shops play a grey area they can't sell stolen goods but they do all the time just try to move it before cops show up. After it's moved than it will never be recovered after that. Best to take the loss and move on to the next sell.
By law a pawn shop or buy and sell store has to hold ony purchased goods for 30 days. Only thing that doesn't apply to this rule is gold or silver coins. Also it would be stupid for them to play "that game" as the step mom would still be charged. They would have to be very stupid to do that. This guy (owner) obviously doesn't know anything about this business... "I saw a TV show, I can do that" looking ass...
@@Nox1987CEV not saying anything about this case or the fact it's dealing with 'proven" theft, but my older sister has had DV cases for years against her ex, and she always went and dropped the charges so nothing ever came of it... I assume the same could happen here
The best case scenario would be; Stepson drop charges against Stepmother. So she can legally buy back the Nintendo Switch from the pawnshop. Worst case scenario; Stepson proceeds to file charges. Stepmom gets arrested for residential burglary. The pawnshop returns the stolen Nintendo Switch to owner and lost $ 90.
@@iMadrid11 its probably a new kinda scam . stepmother wont get prison time for illegally obtaining cash . if the system wanted fairness , the stepmother needs to somehow earn the cash and pay the pawnshop in full . best solution would be to get rid of all wealthy greedy bad people . no wealth , no need for certain crimes . take away the need for crime and no more crimes . take away all the wealthy greedy bad people and no more bad things happening .
I was in a pawn shop one day and while the guy was helping me he got 2 phone calls to see if he had a floor Jack for sale, about 15 minutes later a guy came in selling a floor Jack. I thought to myself, omg!! What are the chances? Then the guy explained to me people do this to put big dreams in the stores minds, basically they’ll pay big money for a Jack because they’re getting so many phone calls on them.

Pawns shops are a sad place if you come to think about it. All the items there have a back story. Was it hawked or people fell on hard times and had to pawn their most precious items only to miss a few payments and than lose it forever. I love to bargain shop for watches at pawn shops and found some amazing finds that the owners had no idea what they had on their hands, not like Rolex's just vintage. I would love to hear any stories people have when they had to pawn an item and why? I remember i lost a job about 10 years back and had to pawn off my top end push lawn mower to put food on the table, i just few short and couldn't make the payments. It was such a sad moment, as i love to mow my own yard and every time i saw my unkempt lawn for months it brought a tear to my eye. I know my story is nothing but it was everything to me. Please share under my comment your pawn story. Have a nice day!
Pawned all my guitar gear when i was 16 addicted to heroin... Sold everything except the acoustic guitar my mom bought me because i knew she worked hard to give that to me for christmas
pawned my drum set . Would sell a cymbal then sell another one until they were all gone then sold the actual drums. Was heavily addicted to heroin, on mdone now. But yeah man I literally sold everything I've owned, a few different points in my life. Most instruments in pawn shops were probably previously owned by junkies
Well, pawned a camera, Canon Rebel with lenses and case and SD card, only gift from my father ever. 400 dollars worth of stuff for the 60 bucks I needed. Not because of a drugs. Just underpaid and over-charged for other stuff (rent, food, etc) and the 3 months came along, I had forgotten by then, and I was never called or emailed about needing a payment due. Remembered at about 3.5 weeks, went in with the money, "sorry, you forfeited that item by not making a payment within 90 days."
I love this content Peter! I’ve been binge watching these episodes. I love these unscripted, real, raw, educational and authentic perspectives. Thank you Peter and The Trading Post
@waterside not saying that she will or won't be charged, but.. DV and shit has happened in my family quite a few times and my sister just goes and fucking dropped the charges, so it is possible to drop them after the fact.. not sure in this case
Not possible to scam like that, if the step son doesnt press charges then pete will have a legal right to the item. If the son does press charges then he will get the item back and step mom will be charged with burglary
I love it. I knew I would learn something eventually watching you buy. " You tell me what you need to get out of it, and I will tell you if I can do it or not". Making them set the price, they may lowball themselves.
The media mail thing drives me up the wall as well. Im not perfect and have definitely misused postal services by mistake but I learned from my mistakes and made myself very aware of how to properly ship stuff. USPS is going to have to crack down on it eventually and could potentially affect all of us sellers negatively. What's that saying? One bad apple spoils the bunch haha Thanks for Sharing Pete!
MediCali951 iPhone all over eBay “for parts “ 🙄 that’s what happened to my iPhone X and 8+ someone stole it out my gym locker and pretty sure that’s what happened to it
dude holy crap i came to you a few years ago as a teen to find some nintendo gaming stuff and now you are getting big on youtube! I didn't even know you had one !
Are you kidding me? The cop just looked like he never thought about the family scamming. Unlikely of course BUT still he acted like he'd never thought of that!🤣
LOL... Yeah he was probably not the sharpest tool in the shed js... not only that, but he never even bothered to think that the shop would lose both the money and the product hello duh.... seems to me the police would have had this all worked out how they handle this type of situation which I'm sure happens every other second.
That's because he hadn't thought of that. Out here, we don't have much crime at all of that nature - which is exactly why we moved out here over 35 years ago!
Surely when buying on ebay the seller states how much the postage is, and you as a buyer choose weather or not you're happy to pay that, if not you move on.
Media mail is for media dumb shit. First class would have been about $6, buyer can justify paying a couple more bucks for their time packing and whatnot. But not being deceived into paying $5 or $6 more. Especially when you consider extended transit time for media mail.
Exactly. Also take into account the time and gas it takes to get to the post office. If I'm charging for shipping, that includes my time as well as postage.
pearlmax you never know one day price of shipping could be flux, and there may be a calculation error. So a seller needs leeway to manage better expectations.
Superfacts. Im sure hes ripped off people in that shop before so you win some you lose some. Im sure he knows that too. He crying over MEDIA MAIL lol 🤣
yep, I have a friend that seems afraid to ask for the right money for her items. I keep telling her, you don't ask, you don't get. Sometimes tho, even though I've put what I thought was a high price on a buy it now/make offer sale, it sells nearly as soon as I list it for the full price, no offers, no questions asked. Always makes me think I still priced it too low.
@@chastblind7606 I generally start my items at twice what I really expect to get. That way when they offer half price, I'm getting the price I want. What wierds me out is when I price it double what I expect, and they grab it in a few minutes, no offers, no nuttin..
The REALIZATION hitting that cop was EPIC in its awesomeness and I LOVE that his reply was correct. Yeah that ain't gonna fly that's not gonna happen. GOOD ON HIM !!!!
It's not a scam, I'm sure he'll get the Switch back if the step-son refuses to press charges or at least shop keeper would have some legal right to item, there's so many possible situations as to why she may have stolen and pawned the Switch, if he does decide to press charges obviously they weren't colluding together, shopkeeper just didn't want to lose out on his stock xD
@ Are you special Bradley? police WOULD NOT file a report without CONFIRMING someones ID, a crime has been committed in this case if step son wanted to press charges, if no charges are being made then nothing has been stolen? It's just so obvious this shop keeper wants to keep the switch and is trying to come up with reasons to doubt the police report, don't trust a pawn shop and never will
Bradley Stocker Yeah! Fuck anyone named 'John', they don't deserve justice because there's a .000000000000001% chance it's an insanely obvious fake name. Fuck you're a genius! *Rolls eyes*
Laws are different in every state, but I had my house burglarized in 2013 and was unable to claim a few things that were pawned until the charges were brought to court and proven. The prosecutor wound up losing the case because "the witnesses were untrustworthy because they were criminals themselves". Couldn't claim my stuff after that. One of the items was Chrono Cross for PS1, which had almost zero chance of appearing in some random Pawn Shop in Ohio.
When i sell on eBay i always charge more for shipping and handling than just the cost of shipping. It costs money for packaging as well as time/gas to go to the post office to ship. These are for auction style listings so its not like the people bidding on the items are taking that into consideration when bidding. I see nothing wrong with that. I always ship on time and in the manner in which i say it will. For me to charge $10 shipping on something that costs $4 to ship, plus ~$2 for padded envelope, plus time/gas to go to and from the post office is okay in my opinion. Otherwise there are items id literally be nearly giving away.
@@TT4ME it can apply to anywhere you sell. I know its not much but supplies and time costs money, dont cheat yourself. We're not charities! Best of luck to you!
@@bernietoth I was agreeing with the post. If you aren't spending your own time boxing it up and shipping it then you're paying someone else. Guarantee the stuff sold from this guys shop on ebay or craigslist charges shipping and handling fees too. Pawn shops are crooked as hell until it comes to somebody squeezing an extra dollar out of them.
I personally deal with a certain buyer/seller store in my area, and I've managed to build a respectful customer/employee....I enjoy conversations with the guys, which are funny by the way....but they are always very polite and go above and beyond to help me when the chips were down and out 4 me....point is....u remind me of them....keep up the great work and always stay true to who u are lovebug💯😘❤🐞

That's a new scam they have going on where a distant family member claims its stolen and they get the money and the product in the end. Actually, I think you dealt with this before with a macbook I think? People are scum.
I feel like when the cop said, “yeah that’s not gonna happen” it was the first time he ever thought they might be trying to scam by selling then getting the goods back lol.
Your channel is so interesting. I'm am 62 yr old grandmother, and I think ladies my age shouldn't be naive, however, I guess it seems incredible to me some people try to cheat to get money. Now, that sentence even sounds ignorant to me, as since Adam and Eve's children, evil has run rampant. I am so sorry you state you don't trust anybody. Unfortunately, I have to agree. But, as a Christian woman, I am compelled to forgive. Not allow additional pain and hurt for the same people, just forgive, but never forget the nature of the beast.

That TV he offered is a prison TV, they are expensive...In prison. So they sell very well in the US Notice how the TV is see through so inmates can't hide contraband Sold one just the other day on Ebay for $50 (Shipping may or may not have been included)
Adrian, so good to see you, you are such an individual, not to say that your personality brings so much to Pete's vids... you are such a draw along with Victories precious spirit...
That scam is common. One time I was on road going about 55 when a women in front of me suddenly hit the car in front of her and we ended up in 3 way accident. The car in front of her took off and then she blamed it on them and got me on her side saying we need to go after that person. Then after we left scene of crime she never answered my calls again and turns out they were both family members blaming the whole accident on me and they got away with it no matter how much I pointed out the obvious
Thanks to Bill Clinton ruined black people's lives throwing them into profit prisons. Obama did the same. Watch Biden will continue... he wrote the crime bill. .
I like how you told the cop about the scam and hes like "but she will have charges for burglary". As if that's not unheard of? Stranger things have happened. People will do anything to make a buck.
See TH-cam, these are the channels you should suggest informative, entertaining, engaging commentary, crazy stories/interactions not the garbage you normally suggest
I remember friends of mine thinking they were going to get $500 for a guitar and then they’re offered $40 and I would laugh because people always think they’re going to get the same amount they paid brand new for an item at a pawnshop..... you’re lucky if you get a quarter of what that item is worth
SaD how Ebay is full of RIPoffs and abuse, like the shipping of the phone cords. I use to buy and sell there ALL the time. The fees and scams ruined it for me.
Skywatcher Sandra If you look at loose gemstones on eBay with the location from China, mostly coloured glass but they claim to be real, the funny thing is the price is so low it’s obviously fake.

@@RickStewart1776 mine was actually different though. I typed the comment before seeing that part of the video. Mine was one of the magnavox prison TV's with avi input and the see-through case so you can see all of the wiring and parts inside of the TV. Was pretty neat
There are several of those TV's in pawn shops around my house , still got the INMATE # engraved in them
Shop cats are the best haha. Whenever I go to a store that has a cat I always end up buying something.
Not me, the dander gets on everything. Items make my chest tight and smell like litter. I get so mad when an item that I ordered came from a cat owner. I’m very allergic. It must be disclosed. Just like a smoker selling an item. Love his shop and show but I’m too allergic to buy from him. 😢😭😞
I just stumbled across your channel, i could watch all day. I wish i lived closer i love browsing pawn shops / antique stores.
Pawns shops are a sad place if you come to think about it. All the items there have a back story. Was it hawked or people fell on hard times and had to pawn their most precious items only to miss a few payments and than lose it forever. I love to bargain shop for watches at pawn shops and found some amazing finds that the owners had no idea what they had on their hands, not like Rolex's just vintage. I would love to hear any stories people have when they had to pawn an item and why? I remember i lost a job about 10 years back and had to pawn off my top end push lawn mower to put food on the table, i just few short and couldn't make the payments. It was such a sad moment, as i love to mow my own yard and every time i saw my unkempt lawn for months it brought a tear to my eye. I know my story is nothing but it was everything to me. Please share under my comment your pawn story. Have a nice day!
Pawned all my guitar gear when i was 16 addicted to heroin... Sold everything except the acoustic guitar my mom bought me because i knew she worked hard to give that to me for christmas
Clean now and still own the guitar 10 years later... was a short stint but boy fast and hard
pawned my drum set . Would sell a cymbal then sell another one until they were all gone then sold the actual drums. Was heavily addicted to heroin, on mdone now. But yeah man I literally sold everything I've owned, a few different points in my life. Most instruments in pawn shops were probably previously owned by junkies
Well, pawned a camera, Canon Rebel with lenses and case and SD card, only gift from my father ever. 400 dollars worth of stuff for the 60 bucks I needed. Not because of a drugs. Just underpaid and over-charged for other stuff (rent, food, etc) and the 3 months came along, I had forgotten by then, and I was never called or emailed about needing a payment due. Remembered at about 3.5 weeks, went in with the money, "sorry, you forfeited that item by not making a payment within 90 days."
It’s like a goodwil
I wanted too see what happened with the stolen Nintendo switch
Me too
Me too
Me too
Me too
me too
I love this content Peter! I’ve been binge watching these episodes. I love these unscripted, real, raw, educational and authentic perspectives. Thank you Peter and The Trading Post
I wish I could watch it on binge too but I don't get that channel.
You had that cop stumped on the different scenario. He was legit thinking
Man Pete is sharp. I would have just been like "oh well." You really have to have a sharp head on your shoulders.
they havent said whether or not he is pressing charges
In Texas he would have to eat the loss happens to pawn shops all the time
@waterside not saying that she will or won't be charged, but.. DV and shit has happened in my family quite a few times and my sister just goes and fucking dropped the charges, so it is possible to drop them after the fact.. not sure in this case
waterside yeah right it’s just evidence no one is gonna get that back it will be sold off in auction later on
Like the guy boss from Silent Hill, Pyramid Head? That's pretty damn charp.
Shop employee: This is stainless steel.
Guy: Then why doesn’t it tarnish?
Love the cat sleeping on the tool case. Typical, "everything here is mine" catitude!
Kyra D haha😸
Is that Cat Garfield?
The cat really calls the shots that's why the bird gets jealous
😂😂😂😭
That cop wasnt sure about much of anything lol
Good catch on them being related and possibly getting the money and then product back
not sure how many they scammed with that tactics.
Pete totally blew that cops mind when he mentioned that they could be pulling a move on that, go back and watch.
The cop could be a relative also!
Not possible to scam like that, if the step son doesnt press charges then pete will have a legal right to the item. If the son does press charges then he will get the item back and step mom will be charged with burglary
@@paulromano8156 No, the cops minds was blown away by the stupidity of that kind of idea. One of them would be charged.
I love it. I knew I would learn something eventually watching you buy. " You tell me what you need to get out of it, and I will tell you if I can do it or not". Making them set the price, they may lowball themselves.
The media mail thing drives me up the wall as well. Im not perfect and have definitely misused postal services by mistake but I learned from my mistakes and made myself very aware of how to properly ship stuff. USPS is going to have to crack down on it eventually and could potentially affect all of us sellers negatively. What's that saying? One bad apple spoils the bunch haha Thanks for Sharing Pete!
That was legit one of the smartest takes on the potential scam. Wow.
It's a joke that you still can't set a lock screen with password on a Nintendo Switch. For something portable and easily stolen it makes zero sense
Good point. That should be the bare minimum feature on a device of that value.
You have to use parental controls
Apple had that idea and now there’s millions of locked iPods and iPhones that will never be used again
@@MediCali951 yeah nice paperweight
MediCali951 iPhone all over eBay “for parts “ 🙄 that’s what happened to my iPhone X and 8+ someone stole it out my gym locker and pretty sure that’s what happened to it
dude holy crap i came to you a few years ago as a teen to find some nintendo gaming stuff and now you are getting big on youtube! I didn't even know you had one !
Thanks for going out of your way to help others, I had a few questions before thru snap and u we’re really helpful and just by answering it’s a +
Are you kidding me? The cop just looked like he never thought about the family scamming. Unlikely of course BUT still he acted like he'd never thought of that!🤣
LOL... Yeah he was probably not the sharpest tool in the shed js... not only that, but he never even bothered to think that the shop would lose both the money and the product hello duh.... seems to me the police would have had this all worked out how they handle this type of situation which I'm sure happens every other second.
That's because he hadn't thought of that. Out here, we don't have much crime at all of that nature - which is exactly why we moved out here over 35 years ago!
@@simplywonderful449 guess that's a luxury a lot of us don't have!😆
I don’t think it’s unlikely it’s the step son switch step mom sold it no charges pressed ? That don’t add up
as soon as you called Vickie i gave thumbs up haha love it
I just clicked this for the sleeping cat on the tool box
Surely when buying on ebay the seller states how much the postage is, and you as a buyer choose weather or not you're happy to pay that, if not you move on.
Media mail is for media dumb shit. First class would have been about $6, buyer can justify paying a couple more bucks for their time packing and whatnot. But not being deceived into paying $5 or $6 more. Especially when you consider extended transit time for media mail.
Exactly. Also take into account the time and gas it takes to get to the post office. If I'm charging for shipping, that includes my time as well as postage.
pearlmax you never know one day price of shipping could be flux, and there may be a calculation error. So a seller needs leeway to manage better expectations.
Superfacts. Im sure hes ripped off people in that shop before so you win some you lose some. Im sure he knows that too. He crying over MEDIA MAIL lol 🤣
Omg this cop is clueless!!! Sounds like you knew how to handle and figure out the situation better than him😂
yep, I have a friend that seems afraid to ask for the right money for her items. I keep telling her, you don't ask, you don't get. Sometimes tho, even though I've put what I thought was a high price on a buy it now/make offer sale, it sells nearly as soon as I list it for the full price, no offers, no questions asked. Always makes me think I still priced it too low.
And endless cycle even if they dont want to pay full price and i come down on it i still feel like i sold it for too low
@@chastblind7606 I generally start my items at twice what I really expect to get. That way when they offer half price, I'm getting the price I want. What wierds me out is when I price it double what I expect, and they grab it in a few minutes, no offers, no nuttin..
The REALIZATION hitting that cop was EPIC in its awesomeness and I LOVE that his reply was correct. Yeah that ain't gonna fly that's not gonna happen. GOOD ON HIM !!!!
I'm still processing it
Beautiful Parrot but it made me jump out of my skin at 1:17
I never noticed it, watched half the video, read your comment, clicked the time stamp and laughed so fucking hard lmao
I know too funny. Its made me jump before too.
That cop learned a valuable lesson that day.
Excellent video, Pete. Such an overly - realistic day,You All had!
Dude put a commissary tv on the counter lmao
Well. I'm subscribed.
Wtf are you doing here?
I don’t like this comment.
@@luxinvestments4014 good for you bro then don’t like it
Didn’t really ask if u subbed
@@winstonvoetbal1458 didn’t really ask you to comment
I love that the cop actually listened!!
Report that seller to USPS
Good video love seeing the daily activities. I remember watching when you didnt have the shop and were just hunting thrift stores and garage sales.
Stepmother wanted her stepson to stop playing find a job and move out
That cops ahhahh moment 🤣🤣 priceless!!
Pete!!!!! Don't leave us hanging. What happened with the 'burglary' scam?
It's not a scam, I'm sure he'll get the Switch back if the step-son refuses to press charges or at least shop keeper would have some legal right to item, there's so many possible situations as to why she may have stolen and pawned the Switch, if he does decide to press charges obviously they weren't colluding together, shopkeeper just didn't want to lose out on his stock xD
@ let me guess... you're a conspiracy theorist. Probably think the earth is flat.
@ Are you special Bradley? police WOULD NOT file a report without CONFIRMING someones ID, a crime has been committed in this case if step son wanted to press charges, if no charges are being made then nothing has been stolen? It's just so obvious this shop keeper wants to keep the switch and is trying to come up with reasons to doubt the police report, don't trust a pawn shop and never will
Bradley Stocker Yeah! Fuck anyone named 'John', they don't deserve justice because there's a .000000000000001% chance it's an insanely obvious fake name.
Fuck you're a genius! *Rolls eyes*
Laws are different in every state, but I had my house burglarized in 2013 and was unable to claim a few things that were pawned until the charges were brought to court and proven. The prosecutor wound up losing the case because "the witnesses were untrustworthy because they were criminals themselves". Couldn't claim my stuff after that. One of the items was Chrono Cross for PS1, which had almost zero chance of appearing in some random Pawn Shop in Ohio.
I like watching Pete interact with his customers, just fascinating to see! Keep the videos coming and we'll keep watching!
When i sell on eBay i always charge more for shipping and handling than just the cost of shipping. It costs money for packaging as well as time/gas to go to the post office to ship. These are for auction style listings so its not like the people bidding on the items are taking that into consideration when bidding. I see nothing wrong with that. I always ship on time and in the manner in which i say it will. For me to charge $10 shipping on something that costs $4 to ship, plus ~$2 for padded envelope, plus time/gas to go to and from the post office is okay in my opinion. Otherwise there are items id literally be nearly giving away.
I don't sell on ebay but I see your point. They are paying somebody to pull the items off the shelf, make an invoice, return label, envelope etc..
@@TT4ME it can apply to anywhere you sell. I know its not much but supplies and time costs money, dont cheat yourself. We're not charities! Best of luck to you!
@@bernietoth I was agreeing with the post. If you aren't spending your own time boxing it up and shipping it then you're paying someone else. Guarantee the stuff sold from this guys shop on ebay or craigslist charges shipping and handling fees too. Pawn shops are crooked as hell until it comes to somebody squeezing an extra dollar out of them.
@@TT4ME you were agreeing with my post, right?
@@bernietoth Yes.
I personally deal with a certain buyer/seller store in my area, and I've managed to build a respectful customer/employee....I enjoy conversations with the guys, which are funny by the way....but they are always very polite and go above and beyond to help me when the chips were down and out 4 me....point is....u remind me of them....keep up the great work and always stay true to who u are lovebug💯😘❤🐞
“ who you talking to ? “ 😂
This Man Keeps His Calm And Stayed Professional During This Situation
Ms. Vicki the sweetest and classiest lady on the youtubes! Love you all
15:31 reminds me of a high school friend's Uncle, a real nice dude. My father took him to Poland once since he wanted to go, Uncle Roddy was a great guy.
RIP Uncle Rod, you were a great man and I appreciate how you treated me like your own son.
That's a new scam they have going on where a distant family member claims its stolen and they get the money and the product in the end. Actually, I think you dealt with this before with a macbook I think? People are scum.
I feel like when the cop said, “yeah that’s not gonna happen” it was the first time he ever thought they might be trying to scam by selling then getting the goods back lol.
Let me know when you come to Naples again I'd love to have some coffee or a beer with you!!
Your channel is so interesting. I'm am 62 yr old grandmother, and I think ladies my age shouldn't be naive, however, I guess it seems incredible to me some people try to cheat to get money. Now, that sentence even sounds ignorant to me, as since Adam and Eve's children, evil has run rampant. I am so sorry you state you don't trust anybody. Unfortunately, I have to agree. But, as a Christian woman, I am compelled to forgive. Not allow additional pain and hurt for the same people, just forgive, but never forget the nature of the beast. Thank you for entertaining videos! Cindy HSK
Man, that cop was sloooow. He won't be making detective any time soon.
B K haha honestly that cop seemed kind and chill. Kind of refreshing to see even if he is a bit slow / new to his job.
I think he was just thinking about the situation and what needs to be done to prevent what pete was asking him about.
I thought at first that Cop was a cardboard cutout !!! Hahaha !! :-D
Suburbia/Small Town cop, just taking his time not much going on.
@@vetterfellow Same here LOL
He's so respectful and so patient.
That TV he offered is a prison TV, they are expensive...In prison. So they sell very well in the US
Notice how the TV is see through so inmates can't hide contraband
Sold one just the other day on Ebay for $50 (Shipping may or may not have been included)
Why is it expensive? You cant just bring it into the prison lol
@@128Gigabytes I think you can ship it directly to the prison if I'm correct...
“Ruby, what?” Lol 😂 I love your channel!!
The lady at the end of this video was staring at the bill like she’d never seen one in her life 😂
I love you and your store! Keep up the good work!!!
Adrian, so good to see you, you are such an individual, not to say that your personality brings so much to
Pete's vids... you are such a draw along with Victories precious spirit...
So we all need a Vicky lol ? And damn that bird jump scared me again haha 😆
That scam is common. One time I was on road going about 55 when a women in front of me suddenly hit the car in front of her and we ended up in 3 way accident. The car in front of her took off and then she blamed it on them and got me on her side saying we need to go after that person. Then after we left scene of crime she never answered my calls again and turns out they were both family members blaming the whole accident on me and they got away with it no matter how much I pointed out the obvious
Had 2 be in California or Florida.....Every1 Is Guilty until proven INNOCENT!!!!!
what a cool business. you must hear alot of sad stories. I'm happy that the guy was happy with your offer.
black guy with the prison tv lmfao
Same... Im dead af!
I was gonna say the same thing CTFU
Thanks to Bill Clinton ruined black people's lives throwing them into profit prisons. Obama did the same. Watch Biden will continue... he wrote the crime bill.
.
bro Pete opened that cops eyes real quick man...he was like oh shit, is that what's happening right now ?!? light bulb moment
I like how you told the cop about the scam and hes like "but she will have charges for burglary". As if that's not unheard of? Stranger things have happened. People will do anything to make a buck.
So Tru they will
The people can get their game back and then decide not to press charges. I’ve seen it firsthand before. The shop is just screwed for the 90
There’s just a nice flow to your videos.
It’s good therapy at a good price ☺️
Stainless steel 😂😂
Dealing with liars and thieves most of the day... no thanks!
Was that a stranger that kissed Vicky on the hand? haha
See TH-cam, these are the channels you should suggest informative, entertaining, engaging commentary, crazy stories/interactions not the garbage you normally suggest
That is a stunning Macaw!
i know eh, what an example of nature at its finest, just because it can
Thanks for actually calling it by its proper name...and not "parrot"
Finally someone knows it's a macaw! I've see people say it a parrot im like it's not a parrot it's a macaw lol
awe the kitty... and thats a beautiful bird, Macaw's are so cool. animals make work entertaining.
1:17 scared the shit out of me lol
Cop was educated by you and you did it in your normal kind way….and he appreciated it! You could see the gears turning. A kind word….goes a long way
I remember friends of mine thinking they were going to get $500 for a guitar and then they’re offered $40 and I would laugh because people always think they’re going to get the same amount they paid brand new for an item at a pawnshop..... you’re lucky if you get a quarter of what that item is worth
That cop had no idea what he was doing.. It’s a domestic issue, not a burglary. Good job not easily giving it up.
SaD how Ebay is full of RIPoffs and abuse, like the shipping of the phone cords. I use to buy and sell there ALL the time. The fees and scams ruined it for me.
Skywatcher Sandra They can hack your device with only a cord. Never buy one just because it’s cheap!
Skywatcher Sandra If you look at loose gemstones on eBay with the location from China, mostly coloured glass but they claim to be real, the funny thing is the price is so low it’s obviously fake.
@@Scoopski_Potato exactly how could your phone be hacked via charging cable?
i'm gonna run out of name changes
Beats me; I’m not a hacker.
You guys are wholesome
Love your cat looks just like my old cat he lived to be 22 years old
