Next time I sell something, I'll mention it's pre-spanking owned to see if I can get an extra little cash out of it
A certain chainsaw, maybe.
Man I feel like he robbed his little brothers room. This is weird. Dude is trying to get HIGH. 😯😂😂😂
Lol that's exactly what I was thinking!!! Such random stuff, it looks like he grabbed literally anything he saw had value and took it to the pawn shop. Lmao. He probably sick as feck
Or maybe he's trying to get extra cash to live? Not everyone has a stable job or money in a saving account for backup in situations like covid 19.
What do you think he’s on lol?
Before I read this I thought the same thing but not cause of what he was selling. Just his over all look and how he was acting
Doesn't look like a druggie, more just like someone strapped for cash
Pete mixing up his pronunciation of Gale Sayers as “gay sailor” is probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen😂😂
Then he immediately says “Di*k Buttk*ss” right after 😂😂
Gay Sailors and Dick Buttkiss
My knowledge of American football players is little to none so when he said "Gay Sailors" following by what I thought was "Dick Buttkiss" I thought he was taking the piss
Right and me knowing nothing about football hearing “Gay Sailors” and “Dick Butkiss”.
@@ryanmessick722 Eggball or Handball. Not football
looked like a dive? it's a pawn shop, my guy. it's not usually frequented by an affluent crowd
I'm guessing they don't want him around rather then his scruples being the reason he doesn't go there
No shit! Golden comment. I just laughed out loud
If u were to see the pawn shop in mchenry u would understand what he’s saying it’s a shithole
Dude you made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Maybe the only affluent people will be the ones coming in to pick up the diamonds/gems the shop knocks out of jewelry it can't sell as is 😅
Guy is SKETCHY AS HECKKKKKKK! The "details" & "stories" he gave about each item were all over and he was making it up as he went
I was thinking the same!!
Probably lives in a apartment but he’s gonna build a fence and couldn’t go hiking because of corona even though I know they did shut down outdoor areas when COVID lockdowns started drove 1 1/2 hours to a lake to find out they shut it down because they were scared you would get the bug at the boat ramp
I think he was embarrassed about being broke. Probably not used to it.
Right!!!! You know he already pawned or sold his "nephew's" Xbox and probably told the poor kid that it got stolen or some bullsht story... Poor kid.
@@TraviesoLoco Wow I had that exact same thought. Either nephew or brother.
I remember a few years ago when I was down on my luck. I had a brand new, in the box 22" flat screen computer monitor. I went to a pawn shop. After 30 minutes of flicking around on his phone the dude offered me $15 to $20 bucks for it. I declined and went home and slapped that puppy on CL for $100. 4 hours later a guy called and asked if I could drop it off at a pizza restaurant. When I arrived he asked if he could pay me $80 in cash and make me 2 fresh pies to go! Those interactions are the best!
Most of those places are snakes. I remember years ago not even getting an offer on acer laptop that was easily worth $100. Stupid ass could've offered me $50 and quickly doubled his money. I instead sold it to an equally shady looking customer who had just happened to be there.
@@kennethwyant9813 im a reseller and i would only buy if i can get 5x my money. doubling up is not always possible you gotta store it and it may not move fast or at all.
Yup.
I got turned off CL by a roommate that kept getting "I'll buy it for [asking price]" and then offering half when he showed up.
@@Shadi2 Sounds like a real pathetic zero, huh?! What a total waste of goddamn skin. People like that should just do everybody a big favor, know what I mean, Shiddy?! I do. Them and Liberals. THAT would be GREEEEAAAAAT! Good times, Shiddy. Good times 👍
The Canadian exchange is the best thing I have seen on your channel yet, that was absolutely amazing! I could watch that over and over . Thank you for that Pete 🙏🏻
LOLOL
I’m Canadian and that had me dying of laughter.
Lmao it was hilarious
Same for being in New Zealand... You can feel rich there checking your bank account there! When I was there it was something like $0.62 US to 1 NZ dollar!
Oh man I was laughing
"A tracphone, like a burner - i mean yeah...." *looks off to the side*
There's a story there forsure 😁
Pete you're always so nice and polite to everyone I would love to yell at some of these people.
@@tdogaz4114 And yet you're the the one being actually rude. Wonder what that says about you.
Yes this is a long way from something like Hardcore Pawn. And sure I do realize that it was staged reality TV crap but I think it has a lot to do with the type of clientele 2walking thru the door.
That's why Pete has a business and you don't.
@@sts-31 You probably see yourself as one of those annoying customers.
@@bromeliad11 would rather be annoying than a judgmental prick
I never laughed so hard with the guy that couldn't figure out the Canadian money thing. Reminded me of this gas station worker that couldn't figure out simple math when I gave him a few extra pennies so I could get a couple big bills back instead of ones and some change. He literally argued with me and threatened to kick me out of the gas station. It was like grade school math.
No this is American education system for you. I know people that went to college and said that math was on elementary level compared to what they were teaching back in EU.
@Scotty secretly loves Chryslers it's not great, it's sad and depressing af.
Go to any clerk and give them your ID, then look at their face while their two marbles in their head try to do the math on your age
Sick ass fuu. He said "Your gonna be here". Of course dude. That's his business!😆😅😂🤣
I did the same thing and was shocked. Gave him four pennies to round up the total to a larger denomination in change and I had to tell him how much to give me back, he was so confused.
I literally thought I was watching a "Da Bears" SNL skit from the 90's with that helmet guy.
Pete’s videos have taught me so much. Appreciate this guy’s drive and compassion in helping fellow resellers
I realized a looong time ago pawn brokers are some of the smartest damn people. They've literally seen and heard it ALL!!!! EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!
@That V8 Life what’s it called?
If I had a financial planning business I'd advertise at these stores. So many people buying things they don't need new for high prices and then desperate for $ selling them and disappointed that they're not worth much used.
God,I'd have to be on Valium to deal with most of these fools!and I feel like I got a buzz off the guy with the Chicago helmet just watching him!!!
Same here! I could do VIcky's job though. I'm guessing she has a short tolerance for these people and that's why she works in the back.
Felt like I was watching an old Abbot and Costello bit. Canadian vs American dollar classic.
It did remind me of that "who's on first" bit. The customer was Abbot!
Maybe a better way to make it clearer is just say the conversion ratio of Canadian dollars to USD is .83
To put it this way Canadians gotta pay more something that’s sold for 600 dollars in Canada is roughly 500 in America. That’s not a profit for Canadians that’s a loss of 100 dollars we Canadians like the USA for all kinds of stuff we can find online but once you do the exchange rate we are loosing money but we put up with it cause the USA just has more cool stuff. Most my car parts come out of the USA and I get dinged on the exchange rate and shipping fees.
Dude with the helmet sounded hammered!
His hair was also prematurely BLACK.
Did you notice ? ( lol )
Why do people go to Pete's store expecting the same amount (or more) than they can sell for themselves? He has a shop to run, staff to pay and all the overheads involved in that business. Unbelievable...
@@jadegblueparrot8606 Yes i agree that some could indeed be desperate. I have been in that position so i know what it feels like.
cause lots of people feel entitled
It's just bizness. Nothing wrong with haggling.
They are always like on ebay I could get $x for this....ok. well why don't you then?! Oh... You need the money now and not in 6 months.
I guess the real question is, why dont people use marketplace? Why not plan ahead a bit and sell the shit before you absolutely need the money…
Honey the cat is so adorably sweet and inquisitive.
1st person was such a nice interaction. Two people just trying to help each other out and being fair
Today on Facebook marketplace a woman was selling a wax warmer to remove body hair and in the description it said “brand new used once.”
Then it’s used!
Its what we call "Ebay New" lol so many sellers sell crap as new and when you get it, its obviously not.
@@Bangulo, I had that experience of buying a "new" book from an eBay seller. I received the book and while reading it I came across words that were underlined and notes in the margins that proved it had been used. I contacted the seller and informed him of finding the book was used previously. I don't care if someone had read the book, but if I had purchased it to be a gift for someone I'd not be happy.
Did it include any pubic hairs? New with pubic hairs brings higher price
Lmfaoooo
"Only used once to test it " lol how many times have I seen that hahaha
I love when Pete is trying to explain currency exchange rates to that guy. That was too funny.
4:15 the bird knew he was a snake 🐍
With his “burner phone” lol
I love Bears helmet guy. He's like the neighbor down the street every single person will have at some point in their life.
A dope?
He was like a Chris Farley character!
Loving the new video format. The quick summary, then the intro and smoothly going into the content - works all really well!
So glad I found your channel. I was a pawn broker for several years. This is just like being back to work everyday. I talked to the customers and dealt with them just like you do.
If you just bought it at Home Depot why don’t you just RETURN IT!!?!!
These are my favorite videos on YT🔥🔥 keep up the good work Pete
Had to watch it again lol
The best thing about this store is the transparency for the clients. Excellent work.
lol that first guy... "if I can sell this stuff and pawn everything else I should be okay..." also "after were done here I might look around, you have lots of stuff" .
I know right! Its like at first he needs the money to buy food or pay his rent to just scrape by. After the deal, "Just look around a bit". People are so FOS!
I think his schtick is to find what looks like new and try to sell it as such.
You are my personal inspiration. I’m running an eBay store from my 1 car garage right now but one day I hope to be able to succeed enough to have my own shop. Goals
I don't trust that first guy...way too chatty.
The dude with a burner-phone and Guitar to sell? hehe :)
Honey's dejected look back at you and little meow when you put her on the floor was precious.
Don't beat yourself down Pete we love your videos if I was closer to Chicago I would so be buying some records from you 😀 but I am from Canada myself also I would be interested and seeing how much you want for your kaleidoscope lot you got ❤
Love the showcasing of your products on the shelf like that strange 70s game machine and hearing some info about it. Would be cool to see more of those segments or even just walkthroughs of the shop like to your electronics section and others. It's cool to see what you got on the shelves up close.
I love how comfy the cat gets on them shelves..when an animal can sleep like that on its back or whatever, its a sign that animal is content and has no worries in the world and trust the people around them 100%.
Absolutely
I was waiting for someone to ask how much the cat was... 🤣
Adrian put out a new sailing video yesterday...go check it out, lots of dolphins and high winds, not to mention the $5k repair bill.
Peter is such a great guy .I'm in new Zealand we have shops here like this but in here he gets the best stuff I've seen and love honey and Ruby when she squarks and gives people a fright lol
"Brand Spanking New Watch, let me turn it on for you" how he know how SMH.Just as bad as scammers sometimes
consider that it comes with a box and booklet, just keep that in mind
@@trevor9066 🤣🤣
There's usually a power button on these things.
Like the new intro and video format jumping from sales to info about items. 👍🏼💵🔮
I wonder how many of these people are thieves who steal this stuff from people or other stores and try to flip it for cash. I bet a lot of them do this.
When he called it a burner phone 😂. Def a addict
My favourite line from working at a thrift store where people would donate items “ well it worked the last time I used it”
I finally ask one of them when that was the last time? Some answers were last week, 5 years ago 98 percent of the items didn’t work.
Scammers are everywhere!!!!!!! If they can't shut up they are not telling the truth.
The thing I love about guys who own shops like this is that when they are potentially buying something they find all the flaws with it and will talk it down like it is just a piece of junk ... Then , as soon as they get it .. they say WOW ! Look at this piece ! It's so rare and it's in pretty good shape for its age ! Then, on top of that ... if they like the item ALOT it just goes home with them .. so remember... when a shop owner tells you they are not a collector they just buy for resale .. that's not always true . I asked a shop owner one time what HE collects .. and he didn't want to tell me .. Even though I had already found out through someone else that he collected Dallas Cowboys memorabilia.. specifically from Aikman and Smith and of course anything earlier. But don't let shop owners fool you , if you bring them something they want ... they will pay for it ..
Shops have overhead. If it's an expensive item they can take less margin as the absolute dollar amount covers their overhead. Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised by only being able to pay you 20-50% of an item's retail value. If they pay even slightly below what you'd get for selling the item yourself, they'd go out of business.
The one thing I love is when people are in desperate need of cash and they obviously can’t borrow any more from anywhere else and they’re able to go to one shop and get an upfront price on whatever junk they drag to the counter and if they decide to sell or pawn and they get cash that day. Not to mention all the time they spend on deals they don’t make, and the fact that that have the money tied in on items that sit for a while before they do sell. Plus the overhead of a brick and mortar. And don’t forget no one wants to pay the asking price for these used items when it’s time to sell them, everyone wants a deal.
@@mraycgz Well , with all those woes , I guess it's a good thing they only pay 25% to 50% of what an item is worth .. except when they buy gold . I demand top dollar for gold no matter where I take it . Most of the time they are willing to pay more .. they just don't want everyone to know that . One time specifically, I went to a brand new shop that had only been open maybe a few months and I was selling not pawning , 6 ounces of scrap silver ... I swear , the dude offered me 4 bucks .. lmao , when I walked out laughing , and then later made an online review of the place detailing what he had offered me . Needless to say , that shop didn't last long , thank goodness it didn't , because it was really a shit shop ran by amateurs.
@@robg7970 yeah gold and silver is a different game. Theres a definitive set value on those for buying and selling so you know what the margins are at all times and there’s never a lack of buyers when you want to sell.
The Star Trek game won't be from 1964 because Star Trek wasn't even out or written yet :) Star Trek aired in 1967-69.
It's from 1976
Pete changed it a minute later to 74 while still showing it. We both know they were filming the pilots a year earlier than the time it came out in 67. Interesting to note if it was manufactured in 74 it was likely due to the replays and increased popularity ST TOS enjoyed during its reruns. KCOP-13 in L.A. initially, ftw.
your a legend pete love watching your show i deal with a few thrift shops in my area in montreal and like to buy storage lockers here and there for fun i mostly give everything to my driver cause i live in an apt and have no real room to turn it into a real biz but love the thrill of the hunt
The canadian dollar exchange was hilarious
Yea... He was "Thick as a Brick" as Jethro Tull once said. lol
Have gotten in a few discussions with people in the seasonal time changes here and the old are we gaining an hour or losing an hour... I'm guessing kindness is necessary. For me, it is do I gain an hours sleep or lose it.
Honey is so comfy in her environment. I just love her!
Also the guy really needing money so badly he may go to
a pawn shop, yet…” I’ll go put that in the car and come back and look around a little” 🤷🏻♀️
I know, I thought that was funny he said that too.
Ain't nothing wrong with window shopping
Yeah I caught that. He was just trying to kiss ass with the owner lol
You should've kept watching the video after that point, or kept your brain turned on. 11:13 he comes right out and says "I'm hurting this week but in a couple weeks I'll be fine".
Listening and comprehending what's been said is obviously not your thing.
All these people who "caught that" but failed to keep listening over the next 10 seconds... lmao 🤣
* NEW means in the package with tags.
* LIKE NEW: unused but out of package
* Good: used once to a couple of times in great condition but a few flaws.
* Fair: used excessively with notable flaws, but still has more use to give.
That works for Ebay, but Pete will only do brand new or used. That way he looks up the used price and gives them half of that. It doesn't pay to bring your stuff to a pawn shop. Any person could sell these items off facebook marketplace or craigslist for double what Pete gives them.
@@doiron12he's not a pawn shop, and he gives you cash instantly instead of you listing it online and possibly having to wait weeks or months until someone buys it.
My favourite thing that people say when selling their old stuff is, "It's top of the line!" uhhhhh no its not, your 10 year old Canon Rebel is not top of the line, it never was.
Morning Pete, here in Glasgow we have a word that perfectly describes the people in your opening statement - Chancers !
The guy with the power tools at the beginning could have coarse taken it back to the shop he bought it in and got his money back IF, its not been used as it`ll still be on guarantee. Here, in Britain there`a a 14 day money back on every item sold, anywhere.
First guy is a straight-up liar saying he don't want to go to a pawn shop but then he said the first one that he went to look like a dive😂 he definitely stole them tools because if its brand spanking new and he bought them he could just return them
When I next make a family vacation to Chicago I will shop at your store.
Honey is such a sweet helper and even Ruby's skwalks are helpful!
How are Ruby’s squawks helpful?
That blue sweatshirt guy is shady af
Honey is checking out the inventory in the case.😻
Honey and ruby are alway the employees of the month in my book
People put Pete through so much stress...he is so good at his job and really respects his customers. He's like a resale artist/negotiator/psychologist. I totally understand why so many other places are so gruff and rock solid about their prices and what they pay! People are really something.
“People put Pete through so much stress…”
Most of his customers, excluding the addicts, are there because they’re facing hard times and/or monetary emergencies. They don’t have the time to list their items on online marketplaces because they need cash quickly so they’re selling at a significant loss. It hurts to sell something you cherish, add the pain of selling it for about 50% or less than what it’s worth, and at the same time you’re dealing with the emergency that requires cash asap.
I understand Pete is the “star” in these clips so people will focus their empathy on him but it’s a bit odd to blame the customers for giving Pete “stress”. Would you blame a cancer patient for giving his oncologist stress? If the doctor had a TH-cam channel and a fun personality then you probably would…
@@CiceroXVXboomer moment
It’s like eBay issues IRL. Ridiculous how often people will list items as “BRAND NEW” or “BNIB” (brand new in box) and then the item that shows up is clearly not brand new or sealed in the box. My personal favourite is Lego sets on eBay where people do this “BNIB no Minifigures”. Like if there are no minifigures 1. It’s not brand new 2. It’s definitely not sealed in the box cause how else can you get the minifigures out? I mean listing a Lego set as brand new no figures is like a car dealership listing a brand new 2020 Ferrari as brand new (no engine)!
I wish people wouldn’t over explain things. I get that they feel low for selling/pawning but there doesn’t always have to be a bad reason to sell. Could be getting rid of things or maybe down on their luck but either way it’s nobodies business but theirs.
They talk tooo much.
Peter has the patience and tolerance of a saint. So many idiots come in and just keep talking while he's trying to look up values.
It's always a pleasure to see Honey. I'm not a cat person but I love her.
You have the patience of a saint. You never belittle people. God Bless you .
This is the best formula for a youtube channel. The script pretty much writes itself with all these characters coming in. Have you ever seen the old movie "Broke"? It's on youtube. It was pretty much the original version of this format. Super cool. Always appreciate your vids. 🙏🏼
I like the bloke who walks into the back room, comes out a few minutes later with arms full of gear and proceeds to walk out of the store....
He’s an employee
I feel your pain Pete - keep your chin up my friend and thanks for the video
That’s why I don’t buy and buy things because especially when it’s expensive because when u don’t need it anymore and when u need the money then there’s no money anymore.Things is just things that’s how I look at it but money is the most important in the world
You have more things on your channel then in Pete's shop lol
Pete did you mean for that first couple seconds of footage to be in the video? Just wanted to ask in case you didn’t!
Love how you kept the first take in for us 😁👍
I find that happens to me as well. I've bought so many items people say are brand new from garage sales. I get home and it's not bad shape but not brand new!!
On you
Check before you bring it home genius
@@hyssean12 I don't really care or I wouldn't have bought it !! I still can make plenty on the flip. The point that was being made is "How many people say it's new when it's not" 🤣 GENIUS !!
The word is " like new condition" .
That 1st guy was sweating his balls off. Was it stolen? Return it if it’s brand new
"U got Gay Sailors & Dick Butkus on here" I think I pee'd myself & woke my son up laughing so hard when I 1st heard him say "Gay Sailors" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Best thing I heard all day 👌👍👏 . Then u pair him with Dick Butkus & u got a helluva tandem! 😆 😆
I always say I don't care if you've worn it once or ten times, used is used. Brand new is brand new and still sealed.
Honey asleep in the cabinet! I love her.
I see the international clock on the wall that was given to you. I'm going to have to send you a gift from Oklahoma. I'll do it soon just to say thanks. Can't afford to be a patron but I have to pay for my cancer crap but I can give this to you and feel better
Bro you should do more scammer videos those are the best lmao
Why leave the certificate of authenticity in the car?!?!? lol
I like the outtake in the beginning PERFECT!
Last Guy:
Da Bears (SNL)
But the real deal!
I love the 'Jeanie" bottle. 😍😍😍 I used to have dreams about living in that bottle.
Speaking of autographs I was surprised you didn't ask Chris Farley for his.
All that stuff in NJ would be bought for 60$ all of it. Its crazy when ppl expect so much for not new stuff
Just wanted to tell you I like the format of your channel. I like the improvements in the opening sequence.
“I’m not a Charity Shop”👍👍
As soon as the box is opened it’s used. No matter what it looks like.
You do get some characters coming in to the shop
Crazy, I went to college with that dude, before he moved to the Chicago area. He's all about trying to make a deal, good stuff!
We got the mini helmets signed by Gayle Sayers for $99 USD in Vegas. Plus all the photos we wanted. He was a great guy he will be missed.
One controller, a guitar (he does not spend his nights jamming, that I can promise you) only a few games mixed with blu rays and a phone that you would leave in the back of your drawer "in case of emergency", an album of cards that he has no clue about. All that pointed to him having robbed a family member or close friend. This guy's more than likely a recently made drug addict. I'm telling you all this from the perspective of someone who was a drug addict themselves for many years. I did this despicable type of sh1t myself.
Doesn't Honey have her bunk beds anymore?
First guy seems like a really nice guy
you are such a cool cat, if im ever in town i wanna visit your shop
That phone defiantly isn't free lol. It's used through Total Wireless, which TracPhone owns. It's around $80 or so now. I used the same one for a couple years.
So 80 new maybe 30 to 40 used so he gives the guy 15 to 20 for it.
@@jboy27 Yeah probably. I just wanted him to know I've never heard of any prepaid company giving phones away to sign up lol. That's like Verizon and Sprint that does that stuff once in a while.
@@SmithBeatZ1 Your correct but Pete will always downplay the value on anything you bring to him. Its a salesman trick to give him the upper hand in negotiations. Notice how he always says,"what are you looking to get out of this stuff". That's because he gains the upper hand in a negotiation when you throw out the first number. If its less that what he's thinking then he won. If its more then he counteroffers. You can't lose as long as you know what you can get from the product.
@@doiron12 oh of course.
I couldn’t stop laughing at the USD to CAD debate 😂
That dude literally looked and talked like he was in an early 90's Chicago Bears SNL skit.
He looks like he's looking above and to the left of you when he's talking to you.
The guy with the Bears helmet sounded a lot like Chris Farley 😯
That cat napping in the case was cute
Pete I have an unlimited amount of Canadian dollars I will trade you at 83 cents Canadian to one US dollar because the US dollar is stronger lol. If that is the exchange rate the bank quotes you they won't be in business long. It is actually the reverse of that. $0.83 US will get you $1.00 Canadian. $1.00 US will get you $1.20 Canadian.
Ya , they all messed up
your cat knows how to find a bargain... and then sleep next to it 😊
Honey really enjoys showcasing herself in the “spanking new” case
