- Doug is always on the hunt for good cars to sell at his dealership, Switchcars, in Ohio. He got a tip about a very good deal on a Corvette on Craigslist near him. Is it a trap?

I love that Freddie Mercury is telling stories for Ed
I laughed at this comment so hard that I got kicked out of a library and yes libraries still exist
@@davidperry817 What the fricken heck is a "library"
More like Anthony Kiedis from RHCP.
Who's this, "devil" he keeps musing about?
BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The opening for this should have been: "...went home, got my gun..."
Hes obviously laundering a moustache.
This comment is money
Hahahaha
LMFAO
I don't know....it looks kind of dirty
Rule 1: bring a friend
Rule 2: pack some heat
Rule 3: meet in Walmart parking lots
syfy boss Walmart? How’s Walmart gonna save u. A friend? Why put them in danger? A gun! Are u kidding? If u think u need a gun just skip it.
Meet at a police station - they shoot someone a usually no big deal and if the dudes are on level they won’t show up - prob solved
@@marlinweekley51 yep. All you're gonna get at Wal-Mart while being robbed is their employees attempting to get in on the action with something they stole from the gun counter.
syfy boss lmao
@@marlinweekley51 Walmart is public less likely someone will try something stupid like rob you! Bring a friend as backup and help! The gun part isn't like he is suggesting showing them? Just keep is hidden in case they try to rob you or something! Smart plan!
D R I stand by my original comments. Meet at a police station - they have guns and are paid and trained to use them appropriately. If you think the deal is that questionable maybe common sense should tell you to skip it.
The big fear with transporting cash isnt getting robbed, its getting pulled over and having johnny law confiscate it as "drug money".
Machinist 72 yep you were right the first time "robbed"
TN loves to do that.
Crown Commando LOL
Crown Commando Oh man that's great, I'll for sure be buying a safe soon.
They can't confiscate money unless he has a bank statement proving he withdrew it. Even if he didn't he could still phone up the bank and they'd back him up no bother.
*guy walks in house*
Wife: hey honey how are you?
Guy: I’m alright sweetie, just came by to grab my gun, I’m about to buy a corvette.
God I love this country
Then there's me.. I pack everyday..
@@hughstephenson2957yes. The most un-American part of this story is he had to go home to get a gun.
I love browsing obscure Craigslist markets for cars, you always find something cool. Glad this one worked out well for Doug.
Ed Bolian i once saw a 2008 escalade listed for $3000. I thought, yea this seems legit.
Like a ultra rare US spec Citroen CX 25 GTi.
Hi ed! You among other car enthusiasts inspired me to do track days, and potentially chase becoming a racecar driver.
Have a great day!
Awesome. Good luck!
Ed commented like a old person commenting on their grandsons facebook
Rule # 1 always meet in public
Rule # 2 always have a weapon
I always carry my benchmade and meet in public
Rule 3 have phone in hand
Always keep a stick
Rule 5 sneak a dildo in the glovebox
Meet at the local police station- more than once. If it’s a scam they won’t show up 😆
I need a lot of MY money to buy a car
Bank 1: That way to much he’s pulling out he is laundering money
Bank 2: Ok big man you want a briefcase or a moneybag lol
congratulations you have found the joke
Well, Bank 2 knew him well enough to understand he buys and sells cars for a living...
Generally, if you need such an amount of cash, you'd better to go to one of the bigger branches as the smaller ones usually don't have that much cash available.
Thanks for putting the add at the end. And not doin 6 adds in one video. You guys are about the ppl
The must have been a long time ago if you paid $31K for a 2003 corvette, and it was a good deal.
The email is 2013. It would have to have virtually no miles for it to be worth that. It's a beautiful car, though.
If you were paying attention it was the 2003 Chevy Corvette 50th anniversary edition which still goes for 56k even today. Lowest I've seen it is 23k and it's 2018.
@@kevinhower7579 nah even today that car is 35k tops. He sold that one for 36k.
Kevin Hower heres one for 24k www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/chevrolet/corvette/2148073.html
Although his had 1200 miles, I saw one sell by me with 52k for $16,500 last year.....
this man is one of the best storytellers ever he's just as a great on-screen personality
@5:28 "ITS MY MONEY, AND I WANT IT NOWWWWWWW' - JG Wentworth
Having cash automatically makes you a “criminal” in many peoples eyes. You’re supposed to be up to your neck in debt. That’s how they know you’re an obedient slave.
Oh God civil forfeiture............ Police: Hi sir you were going 35mph in a 30mph step out of the vehicle and im searching your vehicle. Civilian: uh okay, officer but you don't have permission to search my vehicle. Police: If you have nothing to hide then you should have no reason to say no to a search. Civilian: But I have rights......... Police: your refusal to my search gives me cause to search. Civilian: What!!!!! Police: I just found 15k$ in cash in your glove box so im taking this. Civilian: I'm on my way to buy a car........ Police: I don't believe you but I haven't found anything illegal so your free to go. Civilian: Can I have my money back. Police: No, Civil Forfeiture lets us keep it. Civilian: I want my money back now, i haven't done anything.... Police: too bad no leave before I arrest you for Contempt of Cop. Civilian: Great ive just been robbed by the police.........
@@Veritas-invenitur Sadly this is fact and documented. You can find one guy who, I think, had $83,000 confiscated, unbelievable.
Holy crap, I just went to Google to find that one case, and there's so many of them, fook me ....
@@Veritas-inveniturso sad that this is exactly how it goes. It's disgusting that you have to spend money to fight to get it back. Sometimes they're offer you some of your money back if they can keep a certain amount.
Nothing pisses me off more than a bank trying to tell me how to take out my money
Homeowner's Association telling you how and what you can build and where and when?
manictiger they can tell you what to do
Banks are federally regulated. Let your life savings disintegrate inside a coffee can over the next 20 years and then let's talk about how to best secure your money.
Yes
Drew, that's a bit dramatic don't you think? Also, yes, banks are federally regulated but in this scenario they had the authority to make a choice. They could have given him the cash if they wanted to but decided not to. Poor choice. I'd fire the manager if they are that idiotic.
I wanted to withdraw $10K from one of my accounts and the bank said I could have it in a month. Why? All I got was double talk from the cashier right up to the district manager.
*"But .... it's MY money!!"*
Shrugs.
Did you end up getting it? My blood would boil if I needed cash and wasn’t allowed to withdraw my money.
Switch your bank. Or pull max cash from like 3 banks. Tell them it's for bail money or for a car purchase. Most banks hold 3-10k cash for each day. I've had them send me to three different branches to get all the cash I needed but I got it that day.
Sorry I'm speaking of bank branches when I say had to go to several different banks.
"It's my money, and I NEED IT NOW!!!!"
Most people in that town have probably never seen $31.0000. Much less know what to do with it.
Ill buy 25,000 hot and spicy's with the $31,000.
Maybe That's why I don't trust myself with money. Lmao
Ben Martz only way to spend it is on meth in kent
You know you can edit your reply? You actually wrote 310,000 with a period!
@Viral Vitality You technically should use periods when referring to amounts of money.
Tumeg I agree however, he wrote 31.0000 in the original comment so perhaps you should correct him, not me
I bought a 2011 camaro 2lt in 2014 for almost half of kbb that I found on craigslist and thought for sure it was a scam called the person anyways. Took it for a test drive did the title transfer. 4 years later still have it and have had no problems with it. The best part is its still worth the same price that i paid 4 years ago
I answered a Craigslist ad to see a vehicle 3k under black book price. He met me at an abandoned gas station. He did not have a title. I said NO WAY. (3 red flags).
You should have met him at a public place, that way if he tries to rip you off, hopefully at least you have witnesses when you shoot him for being stupid.
@@ghoodlife there really is such a thing, the Black Book for used car valuation so yixnorb is correct.
yixnorb they need to change it to 30k. 10k is nothing now and days. Ppl can make that in a month or two. Where as it use to take 6 months to make when wages were $3 an hr. The law needs to change n
Derek Kelley you can’t shoot someone for being stupid
@@NN-cj6qv ever heard of stand ur ground law kappa :)
I would've closed my account on the spot
I woulda opened an account and then closed it right after. Fk that bank
@Van Damage it was, just not his normal branch. whats the point of having multiple branches of the same bank if you can only go to one to get money out? The bank fucked up. I would have left PNC as well or at least reported the branch
"Still had the piece" - best VinWiki line so far
I am starting to think Doug's new mustache is what Rob would call, "aftermarket parts"
Brett Bilger Hahaha
lol
I may or may not shop at TJ Maxx and I'm dating a real nice Christian girl.
always thought aftermarket parts were breast implants
He still grew it his own though, didn't he?
"Aftermarket" would be more of a third party made addon, I'd subsume.
I'm in somewhat the same business but instead of luxury high end automobiles I trade/sell high end luxury hifi systems & electronics where a single pair of speakers can run over $1milliom dollars ,or a $75,000 CD player etc ,quite often I purchase the hifi equipment from the widows of deceased audiophiles and the wives don't really know all that much except her husband spent $2.3 million dollars on a stereo system .
I've had deals where I show up to people's homes with $200,000 in cash where the deal fell thru because I allow them to see the 357 Colt Python on my hip ,I've had people freak out & claim my cash was counterfeit, I've also had my bank refuse to give me $75,000 in cash that day so I asked to be let into my safe deposit box ,I took the $75k from my box and the assistant manager pulled me aside & said the manager was calling the head bank to get a warrant to search & seize the contents of my 2 safe deposit boxes because she believed i was stashing drug money ,i emptied both boxes and left the bank with money stuffed everywhere ,I didn't make it in my noise before cops were in my driveway yelling at me to " come here now ! " ,since I was already at my door I went inside and dumped all my cash and took my sidearm out of its holster & set it down ,when I came out of the house it was to 2 cops with guns drawn ,after the search & shakedown the cops demanded to know how much money I had & what I did with it ,knowing they'd seize it and make me spend years in court I told them that I took no money from my deposit boxes and it was real estate paperwork I took ,after bringing a drug dog tonsnif my car they had to let me go & I put the cash in my safe ,1st thing 9am the next morning I went to my bank and closed out my corporate account and turned in my remaining checks and closed my personal checking accounts down to $5 each ,that morning I withdrew over $3 million dollars in cashier's checks and the bank manager had the nerve to ask if I was unhappy with Bank One ,stupid bitch knew I had a cash turnover rate of atleast $300,000 a month in my business account yet called police on me in hopes of stealing my life's savings from the safe deposit boxes .
Words of warning to those who aren't aware ,it's illegal to keep any cash or legal tender in any safe deposit box ,and if the bank audits their boxes ,which they do ,in that event they will legally seize 100% of your money no matter how much proof you show that you legally earned the money .
Imagine typing out all this shit just to be lying..
Cool story bro pretty sure this cops would of busted your door down for refusing orders and entering your home with the word being you had a ton of cash on you.they would of shot you seeing as it would appear that you were evading/ fleeing and possibly going to hide evidence which you technical did/or to get to a wepon
You forgot the part where everyone clapped when you closed the accounts.
Haha * goes home to grab gun before buying a Corvette * MURICA
One of those situations where it might save your life.
Owen McQuarrie nah I know. I always carry while on a CL buy as well. Just kind of funny in the grand scheme of things here.
If you browse CL for ANYTHING and you spot a "too good to be true" deal, having a weapon is a good idea. Most of the time it's gonna be a fake ad just to get your email address or phone number for spam, but it only takes one crazy murderer or thief to take your life.
It's an almost too good to be true Craigslist listing with a high dollar amount, if that doesn't scream potential robbery bait, I don't know what does. In a situation like that you'd be an idiot to not come concealed carrying since if it does turn out to be a robbery that gun might save your life.
I've bought some shit on Craigslist and been somewhat certain that I was going to die, Canadian though.. So I just hoped I was only about to be robbed and proceeded. Didn't get robbed but idk that a gun would have comforted me much, not really interested in getting in a stand off or anything.
sounds like you helped a sweet crazy lady and a retired police chief and had a great little adventure.. well done
Was Doug a shrewd negotiator? Stay tuned....
Stumbled upon this channel two nights ago, I gotta say I'm hooked love the info provided and it is very entertaining. Keep up the great work. Subscriber for life
This is the same reason I dumped "Banks" and switched to a Credit Union, as well as other investments!!
The last Bank I was with gave me Hell when I went in to withdraw $8500 from my account one day. Beyond verifying who I was beyond any doubt, they still required additional documents, signatures, and DOUBLE management oversight. It ended up being myself, a Teller, the Assistant Branch Manager and the Branch Manager, along with about 25 minutes of time after getting to the counter.
Final end result? I withdrew everything and closed the account. It is my money, I put it there, and to have that much trouble to get it back when I need it? Nope!
Dude that's lame. 25,000 or so maybe, but 8,000? I would think at least a dozen people come in for that much every day.
Not saying it's right or wrong, but it is a good thing that banks are making sure the person withdrawing is the owner of the account. Identity theft is a real thing, although I'm sure they don't go to banks to with drawl money lol, but could happen.
@@dedalliance1 My bank won't let me withdrawal $1,000 of my own money in-person with photo identification but they'll let some asshole in India access my account and spend over $1,200 with no verification whatsoever. The fucking transaction ID literally said it was in India, yet when I go to the state next to mine which is 20 minutes away and try to buy gas, my account gets locked. These protections aren't for YOU, they're for the bank.
BofA pulled similar nonsense with me, including the money laundering flyer.
FineGrain how unfortunate
i would have closed my account with the bank and blamed it on that branch.
thirty one thousand dollars! to a paranoid nervous drug addict? thats some next day bank ordering stuff!
DeltaLou yeah, but he gets his money. Who cares if the bank cares?
The rich equivalent of me driving to philidelphia for a $300 engine That I sold all the stock parts made my money back and got to keep the block and covers for free
they dont want to give you cash because they did not have that much cash...
u tuber tjats why they were given prior notice.
The bank failed to do its job. Also they could have given him the cashiers check but woukdnt because they thought it was for laundering money
u tuber happened with my car too but I didn’t need 31k and it still Took too weeks of waiting and it still weirded out the bank that it was over 5k with drawl in transaction
u tuber they don't wanna give you your money. The banks think it is there money.
Youngstown/Ravenna is a literal shithole. That bank probably had no more than $10k in cash at any given time for fear of being robbed. I would never consider going down to that area without a loaded gun on me and a friend as backup.
Meat Missile F1-11 what do you mean Youngstown/Ravenna? Youngstown is 40 miles from Ravenna. Ravenna is country white people. Youngstown is inner city blacks. So sounds like you don't know what you are talking about
*Whole story:* guy saw a too good to be true listing on craiglist. Turned out it was actually real. Went to the bank to get the 31k to pay the old woman. Bank didnt want to give him the money, instead gave him a flyer about money laundering. He went to the bank he usually goes to, takes the cash, then pays the old lady and drives home the corvette.
*BOOM, saved you 9 minutes of your valuable lifetime*
Took me 10 minutes to read your comment..
Where have you guys been since the 1980's? Anything over 10 grand has to be reported by the bank to the feds. That is federal law. My dad bought my mom a new Hyundai with his 401k and had to fill out forms upon forms just cause he didn't wanna pay a fifty dollar fee for a cashier's check.
Tony01013 thats only for deposits not withdrawals. All he’s doing is getting HIS money not putting any money in the bank.
Agreed. I'm not sure why they thought this story was entertaining enough for a 9 minute video. Holy crap man...the bank wouldn't let you withdraw cash....okay, that blows, end of story. Everything else about this story was normal everyday stuff.
nitzschii was much better listening to his 9 minute story vs reading your lame summary.. thanks but no thanks.
8 seconds in and this already seems like one of the "cryptocurrency ok" button situations
js0k i don’t know what this means but I was wondering if people that are knowledgeable on cryptocurrency believe that this is basically the new world currency. Ie the NWO plan is to create one government and one currency. They made the euro to get rid of a number of currency’s. But there will come a time where we all use bitcoin and that will be the currency for everything, no cash. Anyone?
No Surrender u srs?
Fractional reserve fiat death certificates are the NWOs bubble bills
Decentralized, scarce, fungible, peer to peer cryptos are how you opt out of that
Do a little research lopp.net/bitcoin.html
js0k just seems strange it’s being allowed to get bigger. And the fact the value has shot Up and it’s all over the news as if it’s great. Typical propaganda for them introducing it to you before they really introduce it by replacing all current currency’s. Just a thought I haven’t looked into it at all apart from considering buying things from dark net. There must be another currency coming then
No Surrender
yo, the beauty of bitcoin is that nobody has to allow anything or can ban anything, it’s permissionless! Do you know how many times China has banned it? All you need is access to the internet (or not, blockstream satellite, but that’s out of the scope of this conversation) and you can participate in the bitcoin protocol and send value anywhere in the world for near free and near instantly (segwit for life, last week it cost 9 CENTS to send $11k ANYWHERE). Yes, on Sunday or at 2am when your bank would be closed too, and you don’t need permission from anyone to do so. It’s the shit. Are you familiar with what happened when the Egyptian gov shut down the internet there? Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere
js0k no but thank you for all the information I’m going to have a look into it now and never make the mistake of suggesting bitcoin is the new world currency 😂
Bank of America is notorious for not giving your own money in cash, expect delays.
Wells Fargo too.

Got my 99 Cobra for $3500 off craigslist, sometimes you just have to find someone who really wants to get rid of a car
yeah in the search box type "need it gone" and lowball away.
Sometimes people don't know the true value of what they are selling.
account4info true, but in my case the guy had just bought a new jeep and had been trying to sell the car for over a month so he came down $2000 just to sell it asap
I've bought a few cars off craigslist that way, wait for a price reduction on the ad first.
Damn a cobra for that cheap!!! Damn son
I got a $90,000 money order from Bank of America a while ago to buy a house. It took them like an hour and they acted like they had no idea how to work with money...
This went another way I thought he was going to get effed on a civil asset forfeiture. Police agencies have done that on people carrying large amounts of cash even with proof of things like buying a car.
everybody needs to learn more about Civil Asset Forfeiture laws, so they can ban them in their states. Law enforcement doesn't even need a conviction to keep what they've taken from people. And when you find out what they do with the money... Type "civil asset forfietures" in to the TH-cam Search box... I promise that youre jaw will hit the table after a few stories... WAKE UP, PEOPLE. :0)
Timothy Kelley the drug task force in my area was NOTORIOUS for pulling this crap; and it got to the point where a local news piece on civil asset forfeiture was prominently featured on Last Week Tonight where my local drug task force got NATIONAL attention.
Timothy Kelly: you are absolutely right asset forfeiture, without conviction of an actual crime, needs to be stopped.
.
Actually, law enforcement (in states that allow asset forfeiture) does not have to charge you with a crime but instead, charge the asset that they confiscate ie san antonio vs $4000. This puts the onus on the owner to prove the asset was not a product of criminal activity. Even the IRS is involved and will seize bank accounts that just show "unusual activity like a small store depositing cash many times a week.
isnt the law "innocent until proven guilty", dont they have to prove that the money is not yours?
Erik: Ultimately, Yes. However, they can still charge you (or your assets) with a crime and then, you must hire a lawyer and go to court. Yes, then the State must "prove" you, or in this case, your assets, were a product of illegal activity. However, the state has unlimited resources ... Do you?
.
For most people it is not worth it as it would cost more than the asset taken. However, in many cases where someone does fight, they often win (at large cost). Often (especially with IRS), when you complain and file, they will make an offer to return SOME of your money.
Geez I have been stuck watching these stories for days! Keep the great content coming
I'd be pretty enraged if my bank pulled that shit on me. Complain to the bank president, regional manager, whatever state agency regulates that bank, etc.
2003 vette takes me back. When I was in middle and high school (98-05) my dad was really big into vettes, he still has 2 C5's a 98 and a 04. The 98 puts over 1000hp to the wheels, he used to bracket race it. I was 16 and 17 years old driving a 44ft goose neck on the back of an f350 all over the country with him.. 1 man pit crew I called myself lol.. Now it just sits in a trailer rotting, waiting for me to revive it one day. We went to Bowling green sometimes 2 and 3 times a year and always went to Carlisle for shows. My sister even got a brief modeling job with an exhaust company and my dad a distributor deal with a few companies. I've seen so many anniversary models get chopped up and abused.. it's nice to see this one in such good condition, minus missing the original wheels. I'll be honest though, I never really liked them, I always thought the magnetic red was a muuuuuch better red than the anniversary red and I never liked the tan interior or tops.. The tops are impossible to keep clean if you don't have a garage. The corvette world is like a big family and you see a lot of the same people at shows all over the country, it's possible I ran into the original owner of that vette in passing if he was into the show scene. Over the last 10 years or so we fell out of the car world, which is a shame, I really miss a lot of it but you gotta have big money to play with vettes, which I don't have lol
I don't mean to sound judgmental but, I hope this was filmed in November
I don’t get it. November?
Movember
1musicsearcher I think he might mean the sound quality of the video?
HypeClothes h04 is correct
He uses the sportscars to shoot cheesy pornos on the side.... hence the cheesy moustache.
I bought a mint 4 slice toaster on Craigslist... butter my toast and call me Samantha, my mornings rock now.
pretty weird word we live in when cash Is so demonized, it is normal for a bank to treat you like a child.
if some young drug addict looking guy came in wantng 31 thousand dollar, I would be like hell no.
Trumpey toes not if it’s THER money r
it is now days.... now you cant even make a deposit in your own account without ID
if its his account, and he has the money... why would it be hell no? its his money and he can do whatever he wants. its not the banks money!
mhn3773 Fr. All bills say "this note is legal tender for all debts, public be private" and suddenly, they're trying to avoid inflation by demonizing the circling of cash in the economy?
Right as I was writing this comment wondering why the HRE wheels disappeared, you answered it in the video. I noticed the wheels early in the video only because I worked at HRE wheels for 8 years as a machine programmer.
I hope you closed your account at that bank after that
well it is slightly suspicious to jump from one bank to another like that and a lot of fraud happens from people ripping off multiple branches in a given day. Although they should've given him a cashiers check at least.
Aaron Harrison or just verified the transaction and given him his money!
If you are incapable of doing that, after 20+ minutes of deliberation, you don't deserve to stay open as a bank.
the other issue is most banks only receive money once a week so had they given him that cash it would've left them short on cash until their next shipment. that's why you typically have to order larger amounts of cash ahead of time. So I can see why they wouldn't want to give him cash however a not giving him a cashiers check still seems odd. I mean I guess it was at the discretion of the employees but ya I do agree they should have given him at least the check.
banks are terrible there is legal recourse if they cant give you your own account
At one bank, they were not happy with my signature. Eventually they were satisfied. Now that they were satisfied, I used my newly approved signature to remove all of my money from the bank, and to close my account.
You should have pulled the Sig, "I'm gonna ask one more time, $31,000 ... please!"
That's a lot of hassle, but the 5k profit makes it not so bad.
Plus a set of wheels
Banks are horrible yrs ago I went to my local branch I made two different small withdrawals about two hours apart from the same teller. The teller always had a severe attitude problem towards all customers, he said to me how many more times are you going to make a withdrawal from your account, I told him to go f himself and I wanted to close out my account which I did the manager was begging me not to i laughed all the way to the next bank down the road
All of these regulations does not stop money laundering.
Indeed, because if it would, the Clintons and friends would be poor by now.
You could have made them give you a really good interest rate
Cool story...well told and edited. Glad it all worked out.
This is the kind of sh*t that makes banks lose customers. I'd have pulled all my money out the next business day and told them to go fornicate with themselves. I've severed ties with various banks due to these types of shenanigans (Super Troopers FTW).
I get customers that send me atv's etc that they think are deals. Gets old.
Thanks for sharing Doug!
Doug's stories are great!
Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house Arne! 👍👍
It would have been time to change banks for me
I would close my accounts with that bank and never use them again. It was your money.
When you deposit your “money” in a bank it’s theirs. You are a creditor, a lender.
But that would close his accounts at the good branch too.
Former bank employee here. Bank employees always love it when some customer closes their accounts in a huff. Especially when it's not their banks fault. Had a bank customer go to the hospital to visit a friend on a Sunday night. He only had a dollar or two on him, figuring he'd get cash for a cab at the hospital. The ATM, which belonged to another bank, was down and it was after the other bank's service hours (their ATM was on our network, so we were responsible for calling in problems.) He was very p***** that HIS bank wouldn't come out and fix someone else's ATM. He eventually borrowed some money from the hospital chaplain for his cab. Came in first thing Monday morning and closed his accounts. We later found out he opened accounts with the bank that had the broken ATM. WTF????
Unless I'm missing something, I would raise hell if I ever went to my bank and they refused to give me money out of my own account. I understand if they don't have that much in the building, but what bank branch doesn't have 30 grand?
Banks afraid of getting robbed, lol.
No doubt. I'd be livid.
The Front bar
PNC had done it to me for 4000 dollars, too. I guess they just like to educate their customers
Try to give away stuff for FREE on Craigslist....man, the crazies come out of the woodwork. Weird, weird, weird.
Mr. Johnson Tell me about it 😆😆😆
Tony Browns please tell us about it guys!!
You have to ask yourself this question... Do you feel lucky, punk?
Most bank branches don't carry more than 50k at any one time, and that's in large cities. I bet that bank you went to had less than 20k. Also, it's against federal law for a bank to make a check for more money than it has on hand. Doesn't matter if another bank says they are sending more money. Until the bank you're at gets the money, they can't give it.
But they can lend over 10 times the amount that they have deposited in them? Sometimes well over 10×. That's bullshit. The whole banking system on this planet is just fucked. Its designed to make the rich richer and to keep the poor in their pockets. And the saddest part is that its wiping out the middle class at an astonishing rate.
09mikesvids Well she is right about the fractional banking system allowing lending of 10x of what cash is in deposits. It is the basis for our whole banking system. Kind of a scam if you think about it.
This guy seems to live quite the interesting life.

For real. Ravenna especially is a mess.
Unless you're a drug dealer or a cop around here, chances are your life is boring.
Lord Vladimort I live in Ravenna not a cop or drug dealer. It's not that boring. Maybe your life is just boring
I live in Youngstown lol
I swear I got told the SAME exact story for a early 2000s model jeep wrangler last year...I told myself it was too good to be true and passed on it..glad I did.
'Too good to be true' almost always the situation. Have it inspected by the make's critical dealer inspection, or run away from the majority of DEALS. I see too many originally expensive vehicles being sold cheaply at auctions. Always, the cheaply bought vehicle purchaser has regrets unless they needed a parts vehicle.
Deals do exist. I got a limited edition MINI Cooper S GP edition, a four year old car at the time, with only 1200 miles on it, for about $8,000 under value. Seller was simply stupid - car was being sold as product of a messy divorce, wife got half the husband's car collection. They posted it as "MINI Cooper" - forgot to include the word GP. Nobody knew it was there. My friend was browsing randomly and clued me in. I was the only bidder and I got the car for the auction start price. Drove it all the way back from Miami to Seattle. I had a friend in Miami check out the car and the sellers and made sure everything was legit. Just like Doug's story, I didn't believe the car was real until I was driving it through Miami neighborhoods.
This car wasn't that cheap; it wasn't a ridiculous price for someone wanting quick cash.
moonlighter6 talking out your ass?
so true My friends Dad passed and his 50 y,o, wife was trying to sell a pair of 1 year old less thrn 1000 miles FZ1300 's and to me and my daughter she was going to give is 2 2 year old 900 Honda ATV's for FREE... Just wanted 1K each for the bikes... Thank god for the next 6 months I helped her sell off all the old mans toys and watched out for my friends of 8 years...SHEEEEZS and she was trying to figuire out how to use crigslist...Even the kids had no idea what anything was worth...WTH?? I almost took the 4 wheelers and was going to trade off the 2-3 days wotth of work, but when local dealer had the ATV's forsale used 8K. I couldn't even do that kind of deal to a stranger... Old people are the worse for not knowing what the hell they have. once the old man passes...
The closest I’ve ever came to this was doing a withdrawal of $17k to buy an M3. The bank just made me sign something stating I had received the money from this location at this time. My aunt, who’s a paralegal was there, and didn’t let me sign until she looked over it. In the end, yeah it’s a bit of a hassle. But I do kinda understand the bank’s side of things. But it is frustrating to go through all those hoops to get your own money.
I would love to see Ed, Rob and Doug have an extended discussion together. Heck, maybe even get Jay Leno involved.
Alright … perhaps that’s a bit fantastical but it would be a terrific interview that everyone’s channels could share in. I mean, he’s retired, available and loves cars. Just sayin’.
That is a crazy story glad it worked out for you despite the one branch outright lying to you. I remember those corvettes as my friends father had purchased one for his wife. However despite specifically wanting an anniversary edition she did something very odd right after purchase, painted it yellow. To put it mildly the husband was upset when he found this out after paying a premium for that model.
I live in the UK so I laughed when he said" I grabbed my truck and my gun "
Pretty cool he has that right, I always feel pretty sketched out when I have to carry a large amount of cash.
USA is the front line fortunately for us elsewhere...it will be unfortunate for us the day that we NEED to take arms :(

Why is that? If it's not illegal it's fine. Concealed is much better though.
This is why I am seriously considering keeping all my money in cash, or at least 90%. Especially since banks are legally allowed to invest out more money than they have, meaning part of YOUR money is out in investments and should a bunch of people go to withdraw their money all at once they wont even have it! There is federal insurance but if the bank run is because of an economy crash then good luck getting it from the government if they don't have it.
I'm pretty sure he's uncle Rico with a haircut.

I used to repair ATM machines back in the late 1980's. One time my partner and I counted out the cash in the machine. It was over $80,000 dollars. We had to write it up because that was way more than they are allowed to have in a machine. But for the branch that was fine.
Has some good deals similar to this, except with cars a tenth of its price. Bought a 2001 Chevy prizm for $1200, sold it for $2200. Then bought a 2005 Mazda rx8 for $2500, sold it for $4500. Now I have a 2007 Acura TL with 93k miles that I bought for $5000. It’s worth $7500-$9500 and I’m only 18
I bought a MINI from a guy for $1500, he said it needed an engine. turns out it just needed a fuel pump relay, ha! I had to spend another $1000 on cosmetic stuff. Sold it for $6000. Bought another MINI for $2500, spent $1500 on it, sold it for $8k. I just picked up one for $3200, will need $500 in repairs, and will be able to sell for $7500. There are deals out there especially if you know what's wrong with a car just by listening to it, etc.
Max Myszka at 18 Good job!! Keep it up
now let's here about the ones that needed expensive parts or repairs and you lost money. Or are you like the show Flip or Flop? They never flop, they always make money, which is impossible, unless your a mechanic and can fix all cars and get parts cheap
How can you tell this story laughing with a smile on your face? Hats off to you sir
I always hit like during the commercials cause Im gonna hit it regardless by the end of the Vinwiki video ends
Like the story and it brings me to remember a story of myself back about 1973ish, I went and looked at a 1958 chev and it was pretty rotted, its was not a vette for sure' so I was always looking in the local paper for a cheap car or my 1st ride..after a few weeks I came across an ad that read, 57 chevy for sale, $300.00..now me thinking about that 58 with all the rot I did'nt bother going and looking, I grew up across from a salvage yard and I have moved back here since that time so I go over there alot ad talk with the son of the prior owner.( I worked here and it was my 1st real job) one day we were talking in the garage and another gent was there also and he was kind of telling him a story, as I stood there listening to the story I knew the story well, it was the story of the 57 chevy for $300.00 and he said he knew the guy that went and checked it out, it turned out that the owner of the chevy went to Korea and died in the war and the car had sat in the barn ever since, now it was a 57 chevy alright, but they left out the model, it was a 57 corvette that had the white wall tires it was sold with, all flat of course, now this happen around 73ish, so he went and looked and seen it was a vette and gave the woman $1,000.00 for the car..how do you think I feel about that day even to this day, maybe some day I will tell of a jag that was up the street and I think it was a 1960, it was a car I had seen for many yrs growing up, infact" it was same story except it was Vietnam for this owner that never came back, well I guess I will say because it is not long, that was a jag and as I said I always seen it growing up as a kid..well" one day I was next door visiting and I could hear a loud engine roaring down the road as it got closer I seen it was that jag and my relatives were driving this thing down the rr tracks, lol funniest thing I had ever seen, they both had so much dust on their faces, I did feel real sorry for the jag, I knew no good was going to come of it, I never seen the car again, and if I knew more of the car I could say a def yr, but it had headlights on the front fenders, sort of teardroped back towards the rear, had a beautiful grill and the doors sort of curved from the w/s post downward towards the door jam and a rooled trunklid curved towards back bumper, I guess me saying 60 is a wild guess and it may have been older, this yard I worked at for 1st job had many cars that even I wish were still around, nomads,edsels 56 buick specials, you never knew how good cars were made until you had a car from that era...in the end, my 1st car was a 1961 impala 4dr..
God I hate Ravenna. Did quite a bit of training up there. Fun fact: until recently the bar in Newton Falls used to have "adult" DVDs in a claw machine.
One day I was browsing the Thrifty Nickel in Mena AR and saw an ad for "65 chevy, $500" with a number. I thought about calling but decided against it, it was probably a field car grown up in brambles or some such. A few weeks later I was telling a buddy (he ran the local music store) about it and he said he'd seen it too and was of the same mindset as I was so he didn't call about it but one of his customers had and it was a 1965 Corvette. In fact it was a 1965 Corvette that had been in storage in a barn since 1967 when the lady who owned it stored it for her son when he shipped off to Vietnam. Needless to say, she lost her son. When they stored the car, her husband put it up on blocks, drained all the fluids and every six months would fill it with oil, water and put a gallon of gas in the tank throw a battery in it and start it up and run it dry then drain everything back out to keep the seals soft and keep it functional. He did this until he passed away. Her brother took over and did the same thing for about ten years until it was beyond him so she decided to sell the car. The guy that ended up with it filled it with fluids, put the tires on it, aired them up, put a battery in it and drove it home. Had under 2000 miles on it IIRC. He was filling the tank at the local gas station and had two or three cash offers of 20 to 30 grand for it as it sat. He turned them down. This was in 1995. Last I'd heard he still had it, that was in '05 but I'd like to think he's still driving it today.

Cashier's checks are written off 'internal' accounts meaning they use a different account number with a very large balance to write cashiers checks...it's to guarantee they don't bounce and they move the money from your account to either that account or another holding account. Banks don't need cash in the branch unless someone needs cash - the only thing I can say is that you should give a branch a heads up for large $5k+ cash withdrawals so they can order enough for the week. - Former PNC Employee
Anyone remember the story of the guy who bought the car which came with a little baggie, which was thought to be drugs, but turned out to be the sellers' mothers' ashes?
I've read another funny Story of a guy who was arrested for having meth but then it was later found to be kripsy cream donut crumbles.
TheMoistMango : How would that even look like meth

Bought a 1999 Solara on Craigslist from a private dealer in Chicago. The car has 312k on it. Runs like a scalded dog. Looks GREAT too. A woman in Barrington, IL took great care of it. (I bought it at 225K, for $2800 with Carfax in hand.)
Always do a deal like this in the local Police Dept parking lot.
You're going to ask an old lady to drive a manual transmission Corvette so that you can buy it from her?
I'm 16 and just bought my first car from craigslist. Payed $3750 for a V6 Automatiac 1986 Pontiac Firebird with t-tops roof, 44k miles, minor scratches and dents, all original everything, it was original owner, ziebarted and garage kept. All I have to do is a little tune up
I just bought a car off craigslist for my daughter in cash. The correct way to do this is to have the seller meet at a police station.
ihave35cents lol
Maybe if you are a paranoid wuss you meet at a police station. The rest of us men do it where ever it is convenient.
@ihave35cents blind folded
@@suburbanhobbyist2752 Teach me, oh master of manliness
Seriously though, you think it’s smart to arrange to buy a car with thousands in cash, based off pictures on Craigslist alone, and then show up at some random location?
my bank doesn't have $31K in the vault... surprised any small bank branch would be able to shell out that much
3:00
Lol im from akron ohio. 😂😂 damn cant really trust too much out here high key.
I am an AML investigator. People get sent to other branches ALL THE TIME because a small branch does not have the funds. Especially if the customer wants all 100's.
Hey what's that? You want YOUR money? Nope. Sorry.
Had similar problem closing account... branch bank couldn't do it... went to 22 story bank building downtown... they could only come up with half the cash... I'd had suspicious problems with them and didn't want a check from them... pounded on the manager's desk and yelled and screamed... but eventually received a check in the mail a week later for the other half... I had wanted all cash to put into the new bank to avoid any chance of a problem...
Cool Story Bro. (First time typing that non-sarcastically.)
This is such a great story!!!!!!!!!!! Im 1/2 was through!!!!! I cant believe you went!! I cant believe the car was actually there!
i thought this was gonna end as some civil forfeiture deal
DEFINITIVELY smells like police trying to bait drug dealer type people, failing, and buying the car to reuse it (that would explain the identical ad one hour before, and some of the weirdness)
Doug is best story teller!
I've had the same problem with my bank when I was going to buy a Ram 2500. The problem most likely was that the branch didn't have that much money to spare, like she said about the cashier's check, they can't issue a cashier's check for an amount that they can't cash. Tells you right there that they didn't have enough cash.
If it wasn’t for Craigslist you guys wouldn’t have anything to talk about! 😂
As a "gun guy", I was genuinely curious about Doug's piece. Really glad y'all included a picture of it! I'm guessing that's a Sig P239.
Great story. Always better to deal with you Bank than another branch. Nice looking Vette also.
Garry Fuller Sr so bloody true. I bank through ChassBank but there isn't one near me at the moment. Last time I went to Meijer I walked up to the Huddington Bank in the front plaza. All I wanted was to withdraw 50 bucks because I completely forgot to do the cash back at the checkout. The banker refused to help me saying they can't do anything do to the fact I don't bank through them. Funny thing is when I was in a different city the month before I stopped at Meijer and used the same bank branch there and they allowed me to make a transaction. It only coast me a 3-4 dollar fee. Banks are retarded in my opinion.
