Lol the dude has obviously gone through this before but I think he also technically can't assume it's a scam, maybe she's that absent minded. He also HAS TIME TODAY 🤣🤣🤣
Same with any job. To us it's impressive and to him it's just another day at the office. It's a really awesome feeling actually. For example I'm a restaurant manager. An 11M in sales a year in my building alone. In one given night I might have to bail several stations cooking on the line, bail out the bakery, greet a few guests, run guests to tables, wash dishes, ring orders, make drinks, change kegs, then do 2+ hours of office work, calculating labor dollars per hour, counts, take out trash, etc. Many of my manager trainees have needed some convincing to continue with their training. The longer I do it the easier it is. Sometimes the GM will take my ideas and implement them, even if they aren't in line with the corporate way. It's a great feeling, not one you get in the moment but one when you go home and recount your day
Wow that poor lady just got scammed over and over. First someone put newspaper in her box, then they gave her empty gift cards, and then they even sold her fake watches! Can't believe it would happen to such an honest lady! lol
They're panicking and thinking that they can talk their way into still getting money often times scammers have already either promised someone the cash or had something fronted to them so they NEED that money and will do anything to get it
The first lady saying she'll take the box of newspapers back so she can "recycle" them, tells me she's just gonna try the same scam at another pawn shop.
I spent 12+ years on heroin. I frequented the local pawn shops, often with stolen items. I ended up banned at both of them eventually. I played all these same games and made up these crazy stories. I celebrated 7 years clean this past August. Have paid back for all the stuff i stole and served all my legal sentences. I APPLAUD youre patience and willingness to even engage.

@@thelonercoder5816 That's BS! If somebody doesn't know the value of their stuff, go seek an appraiser. Licensed appraisers must give accurate prices because that's what they do. Pawn shops are often metal and jewelry appraisers, so they must, by law, give accurate prices for silver, gold and jewelry, etc... but other stuff is fair game! The real funny thing is everyone thinks all their junk is F'n priceless.

Peter, I give you a lot of credit for putting up with these scammers. You show so much patience and give them way more time than their knock-off, counterfeit products deserve. Great video.
If peters cat walked on my brand new jackets I would want 150 dollars from Peter to clean every dam piece of hair off my jackets. Just let’s the cat walk on the jackets. Gtfo here
@@Chinews773 $150 for a Chinese knock-off? Riiiight… Maybe in your little mind… It’s not like he returned them to the vendor who sold that cheap sh!t to him - he brought them into a pawn-type store, fool - to try and pull a fast one. COACH brand jackets are not made in China, and don’t have Chinese labels in them, you moron. And if you didn’t notice, the scammer PET THE CAT more than twice during that encounter…
Those two guys that came in with the bags and camcorder to sell came in with some real sketchy, nervous energy. And when you called out the knockoff, that made me laugh because of how wide those guy’s eyes got lol
@@shuheihisagi6689 Its a shame people don't hold the big scam artists at the top of companies to the same standards. In other lives, these people likely were in those positions as they share a lot of traits.
@@CruJones81 the word scammer is being used so wrong here. He is a business man. In order to have his business thrive he has to talk peoples goods down to get a good price. He seems like a good man, but there is no way he isn't or has never had to do shady business in order to keep the business alive. The jackets could very well have been real. He wasn't sure about the stitching. And was very honest about not being sure. He didn't want to take a risk in case they were fake. Not that he could'n resell them as "real" jackets and still make the money on them. So that shows his honesty. Which I personally respect. But looking up goods like that online is hard. I have a B.C. Rich electrical guitar. They don't produce that specific guitar anymore and they don't showcase it on their website. To find that specific guitar you have to go into old magazines. You won't find anything online that isn't a forum (which then is not something i personally would trust). But for older stuff you would for the most part need the media that were used back then. Internet dosn't help you on that end.
The patience you have & not calling out the scammers for blatantly trying to scam you is really quite impressive. Watching the scammers squirm & try to weasel their way is highly entertaining.
That lady is the unluckiest lady ever. She bought a storage unit that was full of repacked boxes. Then she bought gift cards that were already spent Then she bought a bunch of expensive watches direct from a fake factory. How unlucky can one person be! :)
This guy is so slick that the scammers actually think he is checking to verify their junk but he's just taking notes to be able to identify better and better knock offs. Lol
What I appreciate in Peter's videos is the respect he shows to these customers, not accusing anyone of trying to pass off fakes. Even the obvious scammers, he remains non-confrontational, does not challenge their integrity, just matter of fact negotiation. Take it or leave it and educating them in case it's all innocent. Unfortunately, scammers sound very genuine, but Peter knows what to look for and just says no.
So imagine your low on cash, your mom gives you an item to sell that she bought offline to help you fix your car. You take it into this guy, he acts nice but tells you the item is fake, you're in shock, can't get your car fixed and you're out the money for the item. Icing on the cake, the nice gentlemen just put you on youtube and labeled you as a scammer because your story didn't add up without any proof on his end. He can act as nice as he wants but it's a big pos move to do this.
@@musicmaniac8787 no doubt he’s wrong both ways a lot too and had resold fake stuff as authentic.. like the slot machine that he told the buyer was original from like 1940 and sold to him for $2k and turned out it was a replica from the 1990s .. only because it broke soon after the guy brought it back and when it went for repair is when this guy “learned” it was only replica so gave the buyer his money back. If the slot didn’t break this guy would have cleaned up on it.
With years of education through wrong decisions and lose of money you learn to walk away. 👍 Great job in educating me on all these products these honest and scammers bring to you.

Well, if it's a power tool, the density of the newspaper is going to feel all wrong. Plus, Porter Cable aren't what they used to be. Still a decent tool, but not a lot of value.
The newspapers were from 2008. She really never opened it and believed there was something in it. The average white woman in America has the intelligence of a 12 year old and that includes women with college degrees. 90% of women with a degree has never passed pre algebra. It shouldn't be possible to have a degree if u can't pass pre algebra. I literally took pre algebra in 7th grade and universities give white women degrees who are dumber than ur average 7th grade boy.
People try that all the time at Lowe's. Then, they run into LISA - Look InSide All. They act all surprised like "How did bricks get in there?!" Sometimes when the con is discovered they get all indignant and try to claim that Lowe's sold them a couple of bricks rather than the drill and impact wrench combo.
It’s interesting how, when you press them, both scammers start rambling and let out “I thought I’d try” or “well, at least I tried.” It’s like that’s the main thought that’s going through their head at that moment, they know they got caught but they’re trying to reassure themselves that at least they tried
I watched a bit of Pawn Stars for the first time yesterday (it popped up in my feed after watching this channel) and I couldn't believe how staged it looked, obvious actor brought in to help fabricate a drama. Reality shows are crap, this channel is the real deal.

@@Scrapla1 are they stealing because they need things and are too broken down to work? Like toiletries and food or something? Or is it crap that can be sold or not needs?
That first lady. I can't. 😂 Her reactions to all her stuff being fake is pure acceptance. By the time she gets told her watches are fake, she's given up the acting and just says 'oh, that's okay'. 😂
The knowledge this guy has to know is mind boggling. Everything from chainsaws to guns to jewelry to on and on and on. I hope he's making a lot of money.
Hmm really? "yea hear what he said about Xfinity not very popular.. not many people want to be on Xfinity. Verizon, T-Mobile." How can this guy that knows so much not know in the year 2023 not know "COMCAST XFINITY " Xfinity Mobile uses Verizon's network ". Yeah most people don't want Xfinity they like Verizon haha they use Verizon.. just haha
That first lady defiantly knew what she was doing. I'd be willing to bet as soon as she left, she went straight to the next Pawn/Trade store with the exact same act.
@@mph5896 for real he has more patience than me. I think he handles it well though by just letting them do their scam and not creating conflict. The people doing this are obviously desperate so the situation could escalate quickly and it’s not worth the hassle.
Ha! The older you get the less F's given. Ive had older folks take a dump in the middle of the thrift store I work at, or just drop there shorts with no underwear on in front the cashier and just smile or laugh, rofl.

I love how the first lady keeps digging down in the box of newspapers as if she's going to find the entire tool set just hiding. What a damn moron. That was simply a way for her to think of an excuse.
Oddly enough,I did buy a desk chair from Walmart and when I got it home and cut it open, the box was filled with trash, like someone just dumped a trash bag in it and sealed it up. I was laughing, upset, and grossed out all at the same time. Walmart did exchange it but never apologized though. Thankfully I hadn't gotten it to give as a gift or something.
That first lady is a professional con artist! You should have called the police on her, or at the very least keep that box of newspapers so she wouldn't get anyone else with it! The way she kept a straight face is amazing!
She would just get another box and fill it with more paper... Hard to prove to the police that she was actually conning if she uses that 'little old lady who didn't realize' game.
I am a recently retired pawnbroker from a national chain, and I find your patience and sensitivity refreshing, even when you know they are scammers. We always tried to treat customers the same way, even when we were positive they knew they were scammers because it just wasn't worth it to get into it with them. I enjoyed this clip.
If I were sole owner of the business, I would have the latitude to do so, but the company policy of the chain was to politely refuse. I have thrown people out for dis-respecting other customers blatantly and rudely, but all we were supposed to do when an item was fake, or we knew it was a scam was to politely refuse to complete a transaction, advising them to bring us something else and we'd take a look at it. We did call the other stores locally and advise them of the scam and give them a description of the individual.@@richardjames3356
@@richardjames3356 any pawn shop who repeatedly accuses customers whether they are in the wrong or not, will get a bad reputation for being confrontational and eventually lose their business.
Your patience with people is amazing and should be admired. You showed so much respect even when you're interacting with liars. I randomly found your channel and I'll keep watching more videos 😊
Yeah I think it's a sign that he really loves his job. He's genuinely interested in the business and is even fascinated by the fakes. Kinda beautiful. I aspire to that.
The patience that he shows is 100% intentional. I spent many years working retail, and I can tell you that scammers purposefully try to rush you and make you feel under pressure in hopes that you will make a mistake or get distracted.
That first woman tried everything. She was talking so much that she was trying to confuse him. He’s too good for that. He outmatched all of her tricks. Love it! I’m so sorry that people are out there who are trying to scam you so hard! This is so cringey to watch. He’s so nice to still apologize to her after all of that malarkey. 🙈🤨
Wow! This lady has some nerve bringing in multiple scams, one after another. She doesn't even think twice about how obvious it is that one MIGHT be a mistake, but three is clearly makes HER a scammer.
Oh come on, she bought the watch at an outlet center. How was she supposed to know the guy behind the dumpster would sell her a fake watch, it was an outlet center
Be careful with the rest of the store when scammers come in. They may just be taking up your attention so that their accomplice steals items from the shelves. Don't fall for distractions.
This was the most common method used by career thieves in retail for sure. Now people don't care, Usually they use this method when they're intimidated by the front end worker...if it's a young lady up front they just walk out not caring.
I had two meth heads come into our retail store. One meth head cut himself with a razor outside and came in to ask for medical and he bled all over our floor. While everyone was focused on the bleeder, the other meth head went around stealing batteries off the shelf. They use the batteries to make more meth.
@@XanderShiller They use the lithium strips taken from CR123 and other lithium batteries an ingredient..a long with some others to produce meth. I'd imagine they're probably strict with selling them in stores..well I hope they are..

That first lady has been scamming her ENTIRE life. It takes a real heartless and dedicated individual to get busted scamming and have the gall to just keep trying to scam. People like her are a plague on society and things would function so much better if we didn’t have to concern ourselves with such low-life wastes of space. You can only hope that karma will catch up with her or, eventually she gets arrested and locked up. Like I said, society would be in a much better place without people like that around us.
Totally agree! Why not just pretend YOU were scammed when the box of newspapers is opened? Just say, "Oh my God! I can't believe I paid for this from someone online!"

You really need to have your wits about you if you work in or own this type of shop.
lol most of these pawn shops are scammers themselves. They prey on desperate people who need to sell their stuff quickly going thru hard times and old ppl who dont know the value of their stuff.
It's honestly just good common sense
@@thelonercoder5816 That's BS! If somebody doesn't know the value of their stuff, go seek an appraiser. Licensed appraisers must give accurate prices because that's what they do. Pawn shops are often metal and jewelry appraisers, so they must, by law, give accurate prices for silver, gold and jewelry, etc... but other stuff is fair game! The real funny thing is everyone thinks all their junk is F'n priceless.

This channel and gas station encounters are in that really fun to watch genre.
the first lady is an example of never judge a book by its cover
I don't even think it is just her in that one. Other people steal it and she tries to fence it. She is chosen for that reason. Usually women like this have prescription pill issues
To be fair, I wouldn't even by a book off her.
She’s obviously desperate for $$$$.
Incredibly pathetic.
She is clearly just 1 part of the scam. Most likely she is given the item to take since she is a old lady. And doesn't look as suspicious.
If you think this young lady doesn’t match the ideal picture of a modern day junkie, I don’t know what would lol.
What blows my mind is how knowledgeable these shop owners have to be in SO many different items.
It is truly impressive!

Doesn't mean they haven't been scammed before, like everything they learned thru experience, hard to trust people these days

@@CruJones81 the word scammer is being used so wrong here. He is a business man. In order to have his business thrive he has to talk peoples goods down to get a good price. He seems like a good man, but there is no way he isn't or has never had to do shady business in order to keep the business alive. The jackets could very well have been real. He wasn't sure about the stitching. And was very honest about not being sure. He didn't want to take a risk in case they were fake. Not that he could'n resell them as "real" jackets and still make the money on them. So that shows his honesty. Which I personally respect. But looking up goods like that online is hard. I have a B.C. Rich electrical guitar. They don't produce that specific guitar anymore and they don't showcase it on their website. To find that specific guitar you have to go into old magazines. You won't find anything online that isn't a forum (which then is not something i personally would trust). But for older stuff you would for the most part need the media that were used back then. Internet dosn't help you on that end.
The patience you have & not calling out the scammers for blatantly trying to scam you is really quite impressive. Watching the scammers squirm & try to weasel their way is highly entertaining.

What I appreciate in Peter's videos is the respect he shows to these customers, not accusing anyone of trying to pass off fakes. Even the obvious scammers, he remains non-confrontational, does not challenge their integrity, just matter of fact negotiation. Take it or leave it and educating them in case it's all innocent. Unfortunately, scammers sound very genuine, but Peter knows what to look for and just says no.
So imagine your low on cash, your mom gives you an item to sell that she bought offline to help you fix your car. You take it into this guy, he acts nice but tells you the item is fake, you're in shock, can't get your car fixed and you're out the money for the item. Icing on the cake, the nice gentlemen just put you on youtube and labeled you as a scammer because your story didn't add up without any proof on his end. He can act as nice as he wants but it's a big pos move to do this.
@@musicmaniac8787 no doubt he’s wrong both ways a lot too and had resold fake stuff as authentic.. like the slot machine that he told the buyer was original from like 1940 and sold to him for $2k and turned out it was a replica from the 1990s .. only because it broke soon after the guy brought it back and when it went for repair is when this guy “learned” it was only replica so gave the buyer his money back. If the slot didn’t break this guy would have cleaned up on it.

Well, if it's a power tool, the density of the newspaper is going to feel all wrong. Plus, Porter Cable aren't what they used to be. Still a decent tool, but not a lot of value.
The newspapers were from 2008. She really never opened it and believed there was something in it. The average white woman in America has the intelligence of a 12 year old and that includes women with college degrees. 90% of women with a degree has never passed pre algebra. It shouldn't be possible to have a degree if u can't pass pre algebra. I literally took pre algebra in 7th grade and universities give white women degrees who are dumber than ur average 7th grade boy.

You can only hope that karma will catch up with her or, eventually she gets arrested and locked up. Like I said, society would be in a much better place without people like that around us.
Totally agree! Why not just pretend YOU were scammed when the box of newspapers is opened? Just say, "Oh my God! I can't believe I paid for this from someone online!" No. She just goes from one scam to another. Can you imagine being related to this woman? Five seconds into her talking at a family dinner and I would be looking for a window to jump out of.
Okay negative Nancy 😂
@@JesussyTwerkinwhy would you make such a comment. People work hard for their money and exposing these lowlife no good scammers warns the public. Don’t you want to be wise to the ways of the world? Really makes me wonder if you, or somebody that you know does this type of theft.
@@donnieshelton591 lmao no I agree w the above statement but it was SO dramatic for no reason
“Low life wastes of space “ “a plague on our society !!!” just made me laugh bc dude is REALLY upset about this 🤣 yeah she’s a scammer , yes she should get a real job we all know this. Not the end of the world though like OP seems like she’s out here killing small children or something
She was a professional bullshit.
The first woman is a skilled scam artist, the way she perfected her speech to make herself appear “slow”. She has scammed people out of thousands.
Definitely! She's probably been scamming folk all her life. Everything she tried to sell was either fake or didn't exist. A box full of 11 year old newspapers and a gift card of no value? Yeah, those weren't little mistakes. lmao.
those were terrible scams. who would even fall for that? no way those newspapers weigh even close to what the real thing would weigh. and the card.. anyone with a brain would make sure the card is legit before buying. her acting "surprised" skills were terrible too.
Needs to face the wall tbh
That poor woman, she's just misunderstood, everyone is picking on her and singeing her out, and its just really sad!
no chance lmao@@milfinu
The outlet mall she was trying to think of is called Desert Hills Premium Outlets in Cabazon CA.
She definitely didn’t buy them there.
Your patience and composure to passively play along with the scam is master level.
That first lady is a classic. I've watched that video alone over 5 times. Your patience is remarkable Pete lol. She should have been embarrassed of herself. People like that are scum seriously.
the first women probably has few dead husbands the police need to look into lmao idk when older people like her scam im just kinda shocked.
some people scam like most of us breathe@@jplester9719
Classic, yes. I'm sure she was talking about the Outlets at Lake Elsinore, here in California. Even though the place is real, Movado is not there. She really got on my nerves! No doubt she kept trying elsewhere.
She's a classic sociopath.
After the second fake item she tried, I would have outright asked her if she had anymore fake shit to sell with her.
My customer service would’ve been out the window. Your patience is insane man
Just because you aren't able to handle this doesn't make his patience insane. It is completely average and how you should act running a business at a minimum.
@@CrAzYpotpiehonestly if people constantly come in with the intention to scam my business, then I’d be mad.
@@chrisr9764 Okay, and? I don't see why you are telling me that.
@@CrAzYpotpie because it’s a normal reaction and so he is definitively more patient than the rest of us.
@@chrisr9764 It isn't insane when it comes to customer service and running this type of business, it is bog standard if you want to survive. Just because you or other people that don't have this job claim his patience is insane just shows how impatient and horrible you would be at running a business.
I just found your channel and I'm obsessed!! 😂 I HATE liars thieves and scammers. Great channel!!!
It must be exhausting dealing with scammers all the time. They just never shut up. They just keep rambling.
I know and that first woman saying over and over about getting her watches at an outlet mall in California. 😡😆
Working with people for over 10 years. Number one sign of a liar is that they just dont shut up
That 2nd lady's name is methany. She talks a lot. And fast.
I love how you explain why something is fake. You’re so smart and it only helps people realize what to look out for 🙂
Yeah but they probably are not gonna counterfeit it themselves
@@yoeyostudiosexactly lol these people don’t think, the best counterfeiters are all in china 😂
Your calm and polite demeanor totally fooled the first lady into thinking she could outsmart you. Shamelessly tries to scam you FIVE different ways!! Unreal..
They way he is so patient and not mean or rude. Especially he knows and she knows she is a scammer🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🥰🥰
Your patience with scammers and tweakers is amazing 😂
The girl with the phone is geeked out on the week!
Seriously that was my first thought she couldn’t sit still , her words sounded like she was gritting her teeth , I don’t have much experience with uppers like meth or coke bud I’ve done my fair share of MDMA , and she had all the signs.
I was about to comment this lol
@@zurkxees4992I was just about the comment that, same only had my fair share of mdma and I was like Aw miss Molly came to the shop 🤣
Oh yeah noticed the meth personality within 5 sec. Def not on coke or molly, don’t even think she was currently on meth but you can tell it’s a part of her diet
@@zurkxees4992j graduated hs, got prescribed 30mg addy xr freshman year turned into 90mgs every Friday for exams and then 30 wasn’t enough during the week I had to save up on the weekends. I didn’t feel normal on it anymore, I was darker, withdrawn and crashing on my regular dose even taking breaks. Anyways when I think about things that give me dopamine rush, without my high dose I overfocus for too long on the wrong thing. It’s a mild psychosis where you attribute too much reward to a treat. And it manifests as tweaking, peculiarities. her case it’s scamming and lying is a reward which is fucked but I can see it getting there if you tell yourself it’s acceptable
That first lady has the worst luck ever! She's been scammed with bogus watches, and someone gave her gift cards that were invalid, and someone stole her power drill right out of the box and filled it with newspapers!! I hope she called the cops because someone has it out for her! Poor woman!
She played you like a fool!
@@toxikexotic Wait, what? Let me get this straight....do you actually believe that the comment I made about her bad luck was serious? PLEASE, tell me you're just kidding! PLEASE, tell me you know what sarcasm is!
Lol. Wow. And you vote and operate automobiles??
@@slayer8actual I think I offended the street shitter?
@@toxikexotic while you may think you're witty and smart, you're really just embarrassing yourself, but keep them coming. Let's see how stupid you can get.
@toxikexotic no his comment was definitely sarcastic and if you couldn't tell then idk what to tell ya😂
Love the cat walking all over the fake leather jackets LOL
2nd lady straight addic
See how she was so jumpy😂😂
Captain obvious here
Meth is a hell of a drug
The worst kind.
dope fiend the guy with the 2 purses was a fiend too
@@bookbm not meth dope her face was too clean to be a meth-head
Lol the cat knew the jackets was garbage.
And the phone lady. He turned his rear end toward her.
That was making me giggle. Cat just walking around all over the “valuables”
I have no idea how I ended up on this video but I’ve found a new favorite channel
Same lol
me too! lololol
same! i’m watching law videos, creative artsy videos and this pops up.. *grabs snacks and lays on stomach* 😂
You are so nice to people, never implying that they are at fault. ❤
I’m amazed that you take the time to educate the scammers on how you can tell a fake.
It’s fake dude lol
@@GraysonNicole-fg8yd you must be a genius, huh?
Unfortunately, they are also educating the scammers on how to make their scams better/more believable, etc.
They ain't gonna make the goods themselves.
@@VancouverMagic It's not like the scammers handmade the bags themselves.
Its always so impressive the knowledge you guys have on the items, i can only imagine the years of close calls and studying of the fakes when the occasional one does slip through to develop these skills
Pawn Shop dealers have seen it all. It is really hard to get past them.
Well, once a scammer, always a scammer. The shops DO swap stories and details on known people as well, so her $10 I bought it downtown from a knock-off mall and hope to get $50 for it at a pawn shop might work occasionally, but he knows in this case that 100% of whatever she hands him is going to be fake. So the song and dance starts :)
I bet they still sell it as real if one slips through... No way pawn shop owners would take a hit on something expensive like that.
@@CornPopWazABadDude No, that's what insurance is for. Any pawn shop that is willingly selling fakes as new is just throwing its reputation down the drain, and they have a LOT of money invested in it that they don't want to lose.
Considering that lady has apparently been scammed for thousands of dollars she is amazingly calm and accepting of the loss. 🙄
He is very kind and respectful, even after tryna get scammed
First time viewer here.
LOVED this take on (I'm guessing) pawn shop scammers. You are so patient and polite, even while knowing they're trying to rip you off. KUDOS, sir.
As a pawn shop owner, seems everyone is guilty until proven innocent.
LOL
I go to pawn shops all the time and I’m always respectful and stuff and a few shops the workers are always rude to me, is it because they are used to bad customers? So they assume I’m gonna be one ?
I use to do Loss Prevention in retail and hate people like these scammers. We would literally watch them steal something and try to return it and have the audacity to argue with us. Glad to see them being called out.
The biggest one we dealt with at Home Depot was people walking the parking lot, finding receipts, loading a cart with identical items and returning them for cash. We bought our own shit back from these parasites.
@@The.Enmikelopediaactually kinda genius of a junkie to think of that
@@gackleballsg2034
That's a very old scam. Walmart stopped giving cash refunds for that very reason.
@@The.Enmikelopedia you big mad talking like you used your money to buy the shit back, I love it
@@The.Enmikelopedia That's legit clever, and those people deserve the money more than the big dumb corp you worked for.
She said she’s selling the phone cus she broke up with her bf then she says her bf is parked outside & it’s under his name 🤣😂💀 dude didn’t catch that but she gave herself up quick right there 😆
As terrible as these people are, sometimes I wish I had their confidence and ability to care so little about how people view them.
Start taking drugs
True that
I would be embarrassed for the next 10 years
Develope a hard drug habit... Your shame will melt away 😂
You can read their personalities and tell they’re insecure. It’s obviously a lot of them are liars.
Or maybe some of them are genuinely absent minded lol
You don’t give af when you’re DESPERATE for money
I was raised by my grandparents. My grandfather owned a furniture store where I grew up, I've seen similar interactions in the past. You're very clear and honest with the customers. A lot of people are convinced they're sitting on gold.
Dude really knows his stuff. Great vid without unnecessary commentary, long-winded intros, silly animated hard subs or other video toys. Also, the cat rules ❤
he doesnt know his stuff. LV monogram pattern doesnt always line up...
@@Glol91ABCbetter to be safe than sorry when buying items off the street. The stitching wasn't the only thing giving off red flags. He was smart enough to not risk it.
@@Shane-sf9pv oke, you just like to talk right? What does it have to do with what I say?
@@Glol91ABCit had everything to do with your comment and it made sense.
You couldn't pay me to do that job and have to actually talk to those type of people, but I'm enjoying watching you do it!
