So there's this guy... That worked HARD to get a brick and mortar, became successful, and STILL takes us along to do those dirty jobs that most stop doing after success arrives. This is exactly why you are my Absolute Favorite inspiration. Because it's not a Job or a Work form... It's a lifestyle. Most humans don't have, never have had, nor will ever have that magnificent quality. Thank you for being that man. You do more for people than most ever will. ❤️
Pete, my family have watched all your videos, we agree with you, disagree with you, laughed with and about you, and also have cried with you. We love the videos, we feel we know you as if you were our local store. Keep it up Pete, great editing skills.......
As he is standing next to a large recycling dumpster overflowing with boxes...."boxes, great! Can I get some of those boxes from you" sounding like an overly excited kid in Santas work shop & hitting the mother load!! That lady probably felt so good that she made your day by letting you have some boxes. God bless you Pete!! You're always such fun to watch, you never let your fans down.
I hate to be that guy but that table would have came home with me. Very easy fix with wood glue and some clamps or Ratchet straps and a little wood putty if needed
yes same for me . its just some people have too much wealth and only do certain types of work . my brother made it clear to me that he wont do anything if he can only get a hundred dollars for it . the stands for that table looked in pretty good condition .
carmichael moritz this is very true! Some people evaluate the involvement of the repair versus what they make (or can make) per hour, so that would explain why he passes on quite a few of the items he comes across that needs to be repaired.
@@deenasmusicbox yup . it just goes to show , any person with as big of a business as his that goes to a good will or thrift store for resale items , cant be all that good of a person . just saying . some truly good poor person might of just missed out on a great deal , something they needed .
I would have grabbed the table legs and the lamp...you may get a lamp shade at a later date..lamps are so easy to fix..I have found and fixed so many and made good money on them. Open the boxes of broken wine glasses usually 1 or 2 broken...and one or 2 are good..you could have still saved those two Christmas trees and fixed the one that had the part and repurposed the other.. Everything in those dumpsters can’t be perfect.. You have to put a little blood sweat and tears into fixing them and show what being a dumpster diver is all about..You don’t like to get your hands dirty..I am a 50 yr old woman.. I do it! I even get caught. I don’t even lie about the boxes..I tell the.m I am diving. They don’t care! They are used to people doing it!
This is the reason why i started watching your video before those old good times that you found like violine with a case, turtle cement display and more. Ok time to watch your new dumpster diving Pete.
9:15 - The making of the thumbnail for this video, lol. I love it, Pete! Man, so hard to find some good stuff; took a lot of dumpsters just to find one thing! Thanks for sharing this journey with us, I found it fun.
Have you ever been approached by the police while dumpster diving? My brother in law is a scrapper and was once charged for trespassing while dumpster diving. They tacked on a public nuisance charge to boot and the charges stuck. This was in New Jersey. I imagine the companies might consider it a liability if a dumpster diver is injured on their property, but otherwise it is just being draconian.
That's because nj is full of shit!! They rather put good stuff in a landfill than let it be recycled and used. NJ sucks. Most places have a no trespassing sign if they don't want you dumpster diving. But check laws in nj. They may have a law against it. Also check ticket. It should have law or ordinance # that was violated.
I like those small boxes similar to the Versace for shipping somewhat delicate stuff. They are usually fairly sturdy and not too heavy. Often can keep it, 1st class.
That table could have crack filled and painted. At least the legs could have been put to good use. Maybe with another top or glass. I liked those trees. Pete, a get a grabber!! And heavy duty gloves.!
When Blockbuster was closing all of its stores I looked in their dumpster and it was full of movies. There were hundreds of movies and games. Everything they rented or sold was in that dumpster. I sold them to everyone I knew and I still have a box of them left. Its amazing what companies will just toss in the trash..
I need that metal tree collar😩it fits around the base of a Christmas tree similar to a tree skirt. The lamp needed a clear globe like shade which looks cool when used with an Edison bulb.
Like diving with you I have trouble walking and too old to go but enjoyed it as a kid running up and down the alley checking stuff out Thanks for the video!
I would be afraid that rug had small pieces of broken glass since the dumpster it was found in had lots of broken glass in it. Great video. Thanx for posting.
Empty boxes are a really good seller. I recently got hold of several boxes of empty iPad boxes which had all the paperwork and stickers in and they sold great..
Thank you Pete for the funny video, I couldn't stop laughing at all the noises you were making, and how quick you said you were looking for boxes when you got busted lol!
Super Aquatic you really overestimate what TH-cam pays us lol. My guess is he does it because it’s fun. I still have a few low profit parts of my business that only exist because I enjoy them.
@@ResaleRabbit of course he does it cuz its fun. It's the thrill of the hunt! I'm just saying that even on a day when he finds nearly nothing, he is still insuring himself to make at least something through the video. That is what you call an elite dumpster diver.
The table legs I know you can make something? If you ever watch Flea market Flip, and even if you found these in the dumpster I think you can make good money at the shop. I didn't think there anything wrong with the 2 other Christmas trees make good picture frames? Cool drive! Thanks!
that table was an easy fix.. I know, maybe not something you were willing to do. One mans trash is another mans treasure. I really appreciate these videos! thank you my friend.
The only thing I hate about reselling is the repeated questions about listed items. Even when I post a full description of an item I get questions about it that has already been answered in my description. Its the craziest thing ever but I keep calm and answer their questions again because I do understand it can be confusing sometimes and the outcome will effect my reputation.
You need to get one of those metal grabbers so you can reach, grab and flip things over without actually getting in and getting dirt so much. And wear your gloves! 😂😂
Buy a mini tripod with bendable legs to attach to the upper rim of large dumpsters to record yourself. [In the book dumpster at 22:07, there was a 1000 piece puzzle under the Trader Joe's Bag you picked up. I wish you would have checked to see if it was sealed. Obviously not worth going back to look at.]

"Hey can I get some boxes?" Nice save Pete! I would of done the same ;)
Hey Bob - that Polish guy is out there crawling around in the dumpsters again.
I'm calling security.
Hey I'm Polish and I am not guilty this time. I was just watching.
And he's filming himself.
Pete, my family have watched all your videos, we agree with you, disagree with you, laughed with and about you, and also have cried with you. We love the videos, we feel we know you as if you were our local store. Keep it up Pete, great editing skills.......

When things get slow do you dumpster dive your own dumpster?
I hate to be that guy but that table would have came home with me. Very easy fix with wood glue and some clamps or Ratchet straps and a little wood putty if needed
Z BEAR yeah specially for a 700 or 800.00 table!
yes same for me . its just some people have too much wealth and only do certain types of work . my brother made it clear to me that he wont do anything if he can only get a hundred dollars for it . the stands for that table looked in pretty good condition .
I would have taken just the stands/legs and used a glass tabletop if I wasn't able to repair the original.

DUMPSTER DIVING I LOVE IT ! !
PETE'S ON FIRE ! ! 🔥
You should of takin the box to store the snowman !!!! It is very cute hope the lites work !
Pete is the eternal optimist, "with all this horseshit there has to be a pony in here some where",
🤣 did he really say that? If he did, I missed it 😏
Most definitely need a reacher grabber tool. Cost: $10-20. Avoiding the backache: Priceless.
“Nothing in here but garbage.” 😆😆😆
Picks up a snowman*
“Who’s the Santa”
😂😂 You’re the best Pete!!
Yeah. He absolutely slays me sometimes.
One man's trash is another man's treasure
Peter, please let us know if the snowman works.

Multimillionaire, Pete, still dumpster diving... Never forget your roots! ❤️
multimilionnaire? In which currency?
Japanese yen
I would say Pete is very wealthy.
Agreed definitely not a millionaire
pesos lol@@goqsane
Pete, I wish you still did videos like this!!!! So much passion for the hunt of items to resell!!!
9:15 - The making of the thumbnail for this video, lol. I love it, Pete! Man, so hard to find some good stuff; took a lot of dumpsters just to find one thing! Thanks for sharing this journey with us, I found it fun.

@@amisun9768Little Ralphie with his Red Ryder would be arrested in New Jersey. Not a joke. BB guns are illegal.
The thumbnail shot...Pete you are hilarious.
@Camaro 1968 You're right. I'm sure Pete was mocking it. These **** always doing it
The snowflake thing that you thought went to the lamp was def a decorative christmas tree base and not the lamp shade.
yep, 100%. my wife bought one.
I used one as a fire pit surround. lol
I like those small boxes similar to the Versace for shipping somewhat delicate stuff. They are usually fairly sturdy and not too heavy. Often can keep it, 1st class.
Absolutely good to know you are still diving!
That table could have crack filled and painted. At least the legs could have been put to good use. Maybe with another top or glass. I liked those trees.
Pete, a get a grabber!! And heavy duty gloves.!
And did the snowman light up ???
Pete becarful some good finds! Thanks for taking us along. 🐱😍🐺
Dumpster Ninja!!
Dont know about you Pete but I just love that stuff. Its the thrill of the hunt!
Great video! Crystal clear.
Gotta send the youngins out to do this bro. Love your ambition man
its cute how you get excited about santa coming home with you
looks like that floor baby crib mat.
Hahahaha.... BOXES! Every time you repeat the word, it becomes more hilarious!
I'm finally ready to quit my jobs and become a full time entrepreneur. It's 2020....time for change.
Hilarious Pete! I do the same thing!!😂 “oh! hey, do you have any small boxes”?
When Blockbuster was closing all of its stores I looked in their dumpster and it was full of movies. There were hundreds of movies and games. Everything they rented or sold was in that dumpster. I sold them to everyone I knew and I still have a box of them left. Its amazing what companies will just toss in the trash..
I love how you're doing this in the daylight, usually this would be considered a night time activity
That lamp was very sleek & with a decorative light bulb it would be a nice light fixture for a contemporary bedroom or living room. I'd take it.
I need that metal tree collar😩it fits around the base of a Christmas tree similar to a tree skirt. The lamp needed a clear globe like shade which looks cool when used with an Edison bulb.
I'm a newer watcher and I really enjoy your channel, interesting and I learn a lot!
"You can see all the 💩" proceeds to pick it up anyway 😆
Love dumpster diving. I find some good stuff to resell. Thanks for the video.
Yes it was fun ..You are to funny.. love the thumbnail pic. Love your videos and especially love Honey!!!
I have no idea why I find dumpster diving videos so fascinating. lol
Like diving with you I have trouble walking and too old to go but enjoyed it as a kid running up and down the alley checking stuff out Thanks for the video!
Love watching & learning!
I would be afraid that rug had small pieces of broken glass since the dumpster it was found in had lots of broken glass in it. Great video. Thanx for posting.
Lol I am glad you are still making videos and having fun. Cheers and Merry Christmas.
Empty boxes are a really good seller. I recently got hold of several boxes of empty iPad boxes which had all the paperwork and stickers in and they sold great..
The two haves simi round sections of galvanized looking sheets are for circling the christmas tree base and sold for $80 on HSN
I love these videos. Even if that snowman doesn't light up it's still a really cute decor piece. Clip the wires and good to go.
That glass vase wasn’t a vase ! It’s a modern water jug !!! Greetings from England.xxxx
Why did I love this video so much I needed that thanks
That was part of a baby mat. It connects and pops up over the baby (as you mentioned) plays music and will have toys for the baby to play with/bat at.
You shouldn't of left that lamp! They are used without a lamp shade and an edison light bulb.
Thank you Pete for the funny video, I couldn't stop laughing at all the noises you were making, and how quick you said you were looking for boxes when you got busted lol!
the round metal christmas thing you found with the lamp goes around the bottom of a christmas tree to keep kids/ animals away/decoration
Pete you are a smart man, impressive
Get the boxes go back!! Lol great video I just found your channel a few days ago and I have watched 10+ videos a day I love your content!
That was awesome the way you took that thumbnail picture and then wound up using it as the thumbnail for the video.
I get so nervous when Pete makes a loud noise in the dumpster
I like how he has 40-50k in Ebay sales every month and still digs thru dumpsters
That is cuz whether he finds something or not he is still going to get paid for the monetized youtube video.
Super Aquatic you really overestimate what TH-cam pays us lol. My guess is he does it because it’s fun. I still have a few low profit parts of my business that only exist because I enjoy them.

You jump in & out of those things like a kid! 😄
That thumbnail though 😉
The table legs I know you can make something? If you ever watch Flea market Flip, and even if you found these in the dumpster I think you can make good money at the shop. I didn't think there anything wrong with the 2 other Christmas trees make good picture frames? Cool drive! Thanks!
Please make more dumpster diving videos! They are amazing.
that table was an easy fix.. I know, maybe not something you were willing to do. One mans trash is another mans treasure. I really appreciate these videos! thank you my friend.
recycling saves culture.
Epoxy the table together-- Good work table. Yes you can sell those boxes. There is a market.
Yes and the legs themselves could fetch some good money too.
8:00 Hey Pete, I "believe" the missing letter is right there
Pete, you’re a funny guy 😂
The only thing I hate about reselling is the repeated questions about listed items. Even when I post a full description of an item I get questions about it that has already been answered in my description. Its the craziest thing ever but I keep calm and answer their questions again because I do understand it can be confusing sometimes and the outcome will effect my reputation.
not much luck today. Have a great weekend!
I definitely would like to know more about the side gigs you are doing in real estate. Love the vids!!
Yes Yes Yes...you can sell those boxes 😎
Hello from the UK
That metal thing in 2 pieces with snowflakes is a Christmas tree collar! (All the rage right now with the farmhouse look) 🎄
Pre-COVID dumpster diving. Those were the days. ;)
LOL that's a Kingpin to a wobbling shaft toy LOL
Nice to see copies of G. Gordon Liddy's autobiography in the dumpster.
Yes people will buy any boxes Versace Chanel Louis Vuitton all of them designer so buy them
7:38
Who's the Santa? What's wrong with a Santa? Snowman, snowman in a bottle.😆😆
I like these kinds of videos .
Hey Pete, can’t you use those boxes they were throwing out? Especially the odd shaped ones for packaging your eBay orders?
That table it totally fixable a little wood glue and some clamps good as new I wish I could find a table like that
not sure if you will see this pete but alot of woodworkers and hobbyist will buy the table legs for their own projects
Or possibly semi-fix with some type glue too.
It's a baby play mat top that fold in a u shape and attaches to a play mat
You need to get one of those metal grabbers so you can reach, grab and flip things over without actually getting in and getting dirt so much.
And wear your gloves!
😂😂
I was thinking the exact same thing.
lol getting old , got injured dumpster diving . but i love these videos from you.
One word: gloves.
You missed a packing blanket in the construction dumpster.
Buy a mini tripod with bendable legs to attach to the upper rim of large dumpsters to record yourself.
[In the book dumpster at 22:07, there was a 1000 piece puzzle under the Trader Joe's Bag you picked up.
I wish you would have checked to see if it was sealed. Obviously not worth going back to look at.]
That blue shipping blanket at 21:00 was a few $100 bucks. That cracked table was an easy fix few $100 bucks.
I think that metal circle thing goes around the bottom of a Christmas tree for decoration
Buy a grappler it's on Amazon out of Las vegas best 40.00 you will spend what I use check it out
The “toy” is for a babies play mat.
did the snowman work
So quick on the boxes lady lmao. Looking for boxes is a good excuse and you don't have to be lying at that
Had to double check if you did use it as your thumbnail 😂 nice , hahaha
Try dumpster diving in GameStop dumpsters they always have cool collectibles and games they throw out that u can out in the shop
