I'm waiting for the day when Pete says "let me call my guy who's an expert on these, so give me five minutes".
And then turns around and puts a hat and back around. “I’m the expert “
Well he knows nothing about antique swords the way he is putting his finger oil all over them. He should have had gloves on, anything less is unprofessional. Pete is a parasite
@@Iwishitwas-hl9wj you must be fun at a party
@@Gideon0297 for real! Must suck to be so negative? It boggles my mind how & why ppl watch channels they don't like lol? I swear the words of 2021 need to be Stay in your lane! It's just getting ridiculous
@@Mandy_39 I can like the channel and understand where maybe he should of taken better precautions to protect the merchandise. The guy who brought them in didn't seem to care though so it's whatever. I think you're having a bit of an overreaction though to a legitmate complaint.
1983 is vintage, man that makes me feel old
I was 10.
@@tonyr6751 I'm 47 I was 10 in 83 also
Nah we are like fine we get better as we age.
90's is now the new vintage.
My children are ventage then! 😩
idk why people in the comments here are so mean about the guy. he's just trying to get what he can, and he doesnt seem to be outright lying about anything. not everything has to be good guy vs. bad guy
@Zain staric uh, no?
In this business you have to think everyone is lying because they probably are.
@@gcanada3005 exactly the hand rub he gave Pete when deal whas done I knew Pete paid him more than what he paid for but Pete a smart man he can see thru his customers
lol the dude is clearly hustling and he got you convinced, but not Peter
@@jamesdspaderf2883 learn the difference between haggling and hustling. Trying to get the best deal one can isn't inherently dishonest. Spend some time outside, you 'll see that almost anyone who sells anything ever does some variation of the same.
I love when customers say to Pete, "You won't find this anywhere." You can just feel Pete ignoring the statement 😏
Well you also won't find Measles most anywhere....Doesn't mean you want it!
What I respect about Pete is that he doesn’t just offer a price.. he breaks down what he will pay and why, and why he can only pay that because he needs to turn around and sell it for X amount. He’s definitely an honest person 😊
Sword guy, his flip-phone made me laugh.
I Said, " He's got a Jitterbug phone!" What a character. 😁💖
His mask wearing skills are even better 👍
@@FrodoUK he's protecting his lower chin area
Flip phone like that you pay for service line only, no data. My 83 year old Father has one. He likes it.
Double pinky rings, and a total BS artist. People like this are terribly annoying, and even more with this guy with his chin cozy.
That lamp is Anchor Hocking, Jeannette, or McKee. The trade name Jade-ite was used by Anchor Hocking for this type of glass which simulates the light jade gemstone
Anchor Hocking Glass is also located here near me in Salem NJ, and closed down 5-6 years ago. They had parking lots of broken clear and green glass all over the place.
Looks like Mckee to me
It’s gorgeous! 😍
The lamp is actually from the Jefferson Glass Company based out of West Virginia. Really nice lamp 👌
Slag glass. Not made anymore.
The dude comes in saying he doesn’t know nothing bout the swords and when Pete gives an offer he thinks it’s too low. I couldn’t deal with these types of peeps all day. Salute to u Pete
well he says a grand then pete gives the retail prices he thinks on each THEN offers £750?
think a grand would have been fair
@@WillmobilePlus I agree!
Ok Pete.
@@longbar2344 true, I did not think 1k was bad. After hearing what he could get from them. Any seller would think that 1k was not a bad price.
@@longbar2344
*Reposting because "cm punk" keeps flagging my comments*
It's called Pete has expenses, taxes, and fees for everything sold + he has to pay staff to clean, prep, and list them, then use packing materials they paid for to ship it. That's even assuming they sell in the next few weeks! If they dont, then he has store money tied into paperweights.
So yes, the price agreed to by two adults engaged in verbal negotiations you can clearly see on-camera is FAIR.
Fair is not what you feelz, it is what is agreed to. In the reselling world, if you break even you lost money.
NOTE You never touch the blade the oils in your fingers will rust it!!! I am a sword collector not much there Its good for starter collector close to 2 to 3 grand for all maybe
@vettelover2009 so he is supposed to buy things at there worth lol? It's a business & he needs to make money, that is how this works...
The swords must not have been made from shit if you can't touch them or they'll rust....
Blood is okay though.
That sword guy had "Used Car Salesmen " written all over him.
Yep, would not close an eye when he is around.
nah, just "asshole"
@Name even worse
Two pinky rings - overkill on the mob guy wanna be look. Love his "degrees of reality" comment. Edit: just noticed his cop badge in his wallet. Fake??
I wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes. What a narc.
Love that you are posting more Pete. Keeps us sellers motivated for what’s next.
Am I the only one that was annoyed by the guy with the swords? He just wouldn't stop talking and kept talking over him.
When a guy keeps telling 'How great' things are.....Yeah....my feelings exactly.
Literally the worst sales "tactic" to try. Let the thing speak for itself, buy it or don't - if you know what you have.
@@garywest2250 Plus Peter always says he doesn't want to invest more than 50% in anything he buys.
Well by Peter's own words all the guy had to do was let Peter finish telling him what he thought he could get for each sword...which was around $1,750 for just the three swords he should have said okay...$850 and I keep the one sword.
I really enjoy watching the process of Pete inspecting objects. He notices things like cracks and nicks and minute design details.
That guy was a "Jack of All trades, Master of None" jerk.
Peter I have been watching u for a while now u are very thoughtful man and not just all business I know how that lady feels I lost a son 17 years ago he was only 22 when he passed
Always love watching how honest you are to people. That’s called an honest days work right here. 🙏🏽😂😆💖
Sorry, but the sword guy rubbed me wrong. Don’t trust him.
same. i honestly felt weird about his story with selling his friends items for her
and what's with that star in his wallet, wanna be cop?
On the Japanese sword, most of the time the manufacturer marks are under the handle grip. you have to take it apart.
Markings are always under the handle and you do have to take them apart
There are no markings on the handle of a Type 95
I hate people that know everything and they talk over you when your talking to them. The old man is rude and didn't want to hear what he had to say.
I would reply, but I guess it would be unwelcome if it is true.
That means that I’m an old, rare vintage piece. 😂
Dennis calls the owner of the swords - I got $50 each I’ll mail you the funds 😂
Yep, you called that one correct ! !
lmao right .
Lmao the guy didnt wanna talk about the things wrong with the swords. "we don't have to go there" LOL
Yeah, that was funny. Every time Pete mentioned the condition of the swords, the guy kept interrupting him and saying that.
That old man drives me crazy
He listed the lamp at $500.00 on ebay.
Outlandish
Looks like it already sold for full price.
Guys not living the high life - he is earning a living. For every one he makes out on he scratches by on others. It’s a tough business. Respect ✊
@@doccraven9118 This. an ex of mines dad basically made his living selling antiques and flipping things on ebay, he didnt have a store and worked exclusively through ebay. They had a middle class living. Some savings a decent house, but not even sniffing upper middle class. For everything he made a total steal on there were 10 things he barely made a profit on. His best flip while I knew him was an antique tiffany silver platter he got at a thrift shop for 20 bucks and sold for $1500.
the katana, you have to take the hilt off to see who made it. it will have the makers name on it in Japanese.
Even for mass produced WW2? This was a mass produced ww2 era Japanese sword. They had serial numbers for sure. Not sure if they had names under hilt as well.
Yes then you have to re rap it. lol but I remember on a history channel they say if it’s really it will have the maker up the rap. I love watching videos to hear about history in each item.
I'd be surprised if he gets $500 for that katana. You can still find WW2 era katanas for cheap as shit.
If genuine, this is the NCO variant gunto. The handle is not meant to be removed with this type as it is a mass produced, machine made blade.
I have been a member of NBTHK, and I have been studying katanas, also written papers on katana of different periods including the modern times. There are a lot of different guntos, some were mass produced machine made blades that were of poor quality, some were high quality ones that were commisioned, produced by swordsmiths from the Yasukunito. There were also some guntos that had its blade exchanged for a higer quality one, by famous swordsmiths. Hence, it is not neccessary for a gunto to have a matching number. For the gunto in the video, I have to say, there is nothing looks authentic. The saya, tsuba, tsuka, the whole koshirae, even the sound of pulling it out is not right, the katana is a cheap Chinese fake.
The lamp is art deco. I have 2 like this either side of my bed. Got them at garage sale 12 yrs ago. Got the wiring redone. Wouldn't change them for the world now.
I love art deco stuff.
And they are made from a product called Bakelite. It's a kind of plastic. But it's not. It's hard to describe. But it's very tough.
And they could make it into any form and or colour. And it was cheap to make. And easy to use. It started being used between the two world wars. Origionally from the UK (like me) it was used all over the world. And now most things with Bakelite. Like old Radios and Seeing machines are extremely collectable.
The base and shade are definitely glass and not Bakelite. I’m sure your bedside lamps are beautiful in Bakelite.
In UK the glass is often described as “milk glass” all different translucent colours,looks 40’s or 50’s to me
I will bet you anything he is not giving her $800. If she even exists.
Sword seller is full of BS.....he knows nothing about anything he has brought into your store.
He made 800$ profit off of 4 worthless Chinese knock offs.
Snake oil salesman, the sword guy.
Dude was all up and leaning. I was wondering if he was going in for a kiss.
The sword seller doesn't seem to understand that he gets a percentage of the value , not the actual value ! 🙄
Have you ever gone to a pawn shop,coin shop,antiques shop,thrift store and not tried to get as much out of an item as possible it's a human thing LOL

I would dream of owning a pawnshop someday! It looks so fun and never knowing what’s going to come through the doors.
same!
It's not a pawnshop!
If you think so then you should definitely go for it. It takes very thick skin and if you can do it then you will be rewarded big time for it I am sure
Just found this channel the other day. I love how you have cats and a bird in the store. That bird is cool as hell.
The animals are one of thw main reasons i watch! I love cats and birds! Ruby is the parrot and the kitty is Honey.
Could not stand the attitude of that guy.
He seems like the type that bought that 2 hours ago at an estate sale, and floored it to Pete's to try to flip it fast.
@@WillmobilePlus of course that’s what happened but Pete knows why he can get out of it.
Bonjour from france. About the green lamp, the glass made like this is called OPALINE !!!
Enjoy your channel, it help me to improve my english !!!!
I have worked three years in a second hand store. I could not take the customer bullshit anymore. Some are really nice people but you have agressive people and the worst are those who want to scam you. And there's a lot of them. Even old ladies.
18:45 all your passwords are showing!
Its called Jadeite. Almost anything with vintage Jadeitw brings great money. I never seen a lamp though, mostly kitchen ware and jewelry.
If you want a really good price... don't sell it to a reseller...
The sword guy can't keep his mouth shut.
I'm going to say he's almost a virgin with that flip phone in 2021.
I cant stand customers that wont just shut up. This guy doesnt want to hear the facts and wants to debate with someone who knows better.
So you don’t like when people speak up for themselves. Everyone is trying to get the best deal possible
Wonder what elderly person this thief is stealing from.
Lmao the sword guys was all good with Pete complimenting the swords. But when Pete noticed imperfections and mention it , the guy didn’t want to hear it.
It would drive me crazy to not be able to make a statement without being interrupted every time.
The guy wearing his mask on his chin was driving me nuts! It's called a face mask not a chin mask!
go get your shots and stfu
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You still believe in masks? Wow.
Peter maybe in a future show you can share what you finally got for the old swords ,neat video ,much fun to hear the banter,
So glad the old dude wore his mask around his chin.
Love how he is protecting everyone with his neck mask
funny AF
Actually that's not a mask that's a jockstrap for his double chin
maybe he has his vaccine and doesn't need it
@@whosZixi then he wouldn't have a mask on at all lol
@@vigdad58143 mask karen police
I wish that customer would respect you & put up his mask!!
the old man is smarter than you the mask does nothing ...
It is a little late. The transaction happened before you saw it.
Texas and Florida have canceled the mask requirement.
That German sword is very nice its an officers sword all German swords were officer's swords because it was mainly used as dress swords because no one in ww2 had flights with swords they would use the swords when they dressed in parties
I highly doubt the SS sword was real lol
He probably told the real owner of the swords I GOT YOU $75 EACH I'M SENDING YOU THE CHEQUES!! LOL 😆
OMG, those GM belt buckles take me back to my grammar school days.
That sword seller was so annoying even if offering the Holy Grail would have politely asked him to go elsewhere, eh gotta close the store my mother just died by 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, annoying, soon as Pete found fault he would just say - yeah ok, whatever. 'Why we godda do dis dance'.?
Am sure the green lamp is Bakelite , a lot of 50’s and earlier was made with this , first thing that came to mind when you opened it was that it’s a Bakelite lamp .
Thanks from Scotland , uk
Gotta love people that don’t listen and keep talking over you.
The lamp looks like McKee and I have seen them retail around $225 in the Seattle area.
Why do people not understand that you don’t need to wear a chinstrap in public?
In Pete's shop, do as Pete does.
@@TemplarOnHigh the problem with your statement is that we don’t want to encourage authoritarian actions even by business owners.
The mask wearing was never about safety. It has always been about control.
@@CartoonForFood So my doctor wears one when he operates because control. You're insane.
@@CartoonForFood
I'm pretty libertarian and I'm sure everyone on this channel knows how to hustle and doesn't have time for wasting. This idea of stopping others from wearing a mask is up there with targeting people for wearing sunglasses inside. There's more than a hint of, shall we say, controlling others about it?
Let me show you what I'm seeing:
"Authoritarian actions by business owners"...
1. You don't want authoritarians telling you what to do. (Liberty for you!)
2. You don't want Pete doing what Pete wants to do. (No Liberty for Pete!)
3. You do want... to... be the authoritarian? (Liberty for you and not for Pete!)
That Jadite Lamp is cool
that dude was a pain..if he thinks it was worth more go get it.. I admire your patience and kindness ..cheers
That old dude is a hustler. LOL
Waving those swords around, just leave them on the counter and turn them over don't hold them in the air like that. Don't touch them with your bare hands.
Had a buddy who was stabbed because one knuckle head took the sheath off the bayonet and the other dude turned around right into the bayonet. Just the tip.
There was a TH-cam video of a dude who had a replica Roman sword and nearly sliced off his entire calf. In this case he was trying some sword moves.
If that Katana is real you could get $2500. The Scabbard is a bummer but not a deal killer.
The First sword you picked up looks a lot like a Marine Corps NCO sword, But it has ceremonial attachments looks like a Navy Officer sword but theirs is a straight blade.
This is one of the best negotiations I’ve seen😎
FYI….I learned the hard way from serious sword collectors and experts (particularly Japanese) the worst thing you can do is touch the blade with bare hands because of the oils on our skin. It will cause long term rust and pitting which will hurt
the value
I'm going to say the light is a wall sconce by how short the original cord is and there is not a cut out for the cord and because the "neck" is so short. If held to the wall, it is a perfect sconce.
Not sure why he would think that it was not a sconce. Akwardly low for a desk lamp.
*I never realized how many people don’t know how to wear a mask until I started watching these videos*
Forget wearing a mask... Build your immune system...
@@troutdoors4332 In Pete's shop, do as Pete does.
I'm jacksd
But why wear them as chin diapers? What purpose does that serve?
You should never touch a blade like this
One of the best ways to rust out a blade. Should be powdered and oiled before they was returned to the scabbard
I recently found your channel and i love it. But also you are honest and don't jive the customers. I live in Washington state and i have alot of antiques and ww2 and occupied japan stuff. Some baseballs signed from the 1950s. The problem is finding an appraiser for the stuff. I may take a drive to your shop next year and haul all my stuff to you so you can pick through it and give me an honest price.
another thing about those swords is that they weren't worth very much money in the 50s and '60s so kids did have sword fights with them. That might actually add to the authenticity of it in my opinion.
absolutely nobody put unit numbers on those things. If they did have one it was done in presentation style and was done over the entire blade. That was more before World War II, you see World War I items having this, mostly again for dress purposes. If somebody punched anything on that luftwaffle blade, it was done after the war by an American...
another thing, you might have a sword, especially daggers, that were built with real parts but after the war. there were tons of parts left over laying in warehouses and GIs put these things together and sent them home. If you find one with a sword knot, they're generally not tied correctly because nobody knows how to tie the damn things in this country and there isn't any information online that explains how to do it easily. I do know one guy in Milwaukee area, hopefully is still alive, he knows how to tie these things.
Pete! How much for the "nothing special" Star Wars buckle?
I love watching him wheel and deal!! He will prolly get close to 2,500 for the swords!! Awesome job!!!
That lamp you could take the shade off use it for a wall mounted light and simply change the bulb
He said “there is more coming, the heavens have opened “.🤣🤣🤣
Looks like green milk glass
Flexing that flip phone
"it always talks to me...."
I think it’s so cool that you fixed that lamp, i wish i could do stuff like that
that lamp is made of Bakelite, probably from the 40's
"What's that , Star wars ? That's nothing special?".... low-key hurt me
Lol me too
Its crazy to hear 1980s vintage I feel old lol
I’m curious where these swords came from….Pete has so much expertise. The man selling is so excited he is about to pass out!
I bet you the white sword guy used to be a car salesman. Never trust a fast talking guy.😅
The lamp is for a piano, to light up the hymns book
Thank you! Piano lamp! I will add this to the listing.
And the design is Art Deco.. 1930s era
I can NOT imagine how that is a piano lamp. It looks like a desk lamp.
@@KameraShy It sits on top casting light down over the music. The base is nice and heavy and the way the hardware is curved makes for the perfect angle looking over the front edge of the piano. ❤️
Very cool history swords and what a great guy he was. Seems like he is a caring gentleman.
Hate people that don't shut up when you're trying to concentrate
The old man is a liar... Bought just to make a profit
I believe the answer to your question about the light green Art Deco desk lamp = milk glass.
I've heard that called "Vaseline" glass, too, when it's green or amber with white.
Yes! Milk glass! I was thinking slag.
I think it is Jadeite
@@itsabouttime5611 Jadeite was the name given by one manufacturer for green milk glass. Kinda like calling all tissues Kleenex.
I really miss Pete making what sold/thrifting/picking/BOLO vids like he used to. Been watching him for years now and tbh I barely check him out anymore since all he makes is videos about what people bring into the shop. Its kind of sad when you disconnect with a creator you used to really enjoy watching.
Well he cant please everyone. More people enjoy this content. Sorry
I used to live in Japan. Many samurai swords for sale.. All replica.. It's illegal to export or remove from the country real samurai swords. Once in Japan and a thrift shop they had one up on the wall.. $20,000
Something from '83 isn't considered vintage. Vintage is anything 45- 99 years old. Anything older than that is considered antique.
that katana needs to have the handle taken off to see the maker of the sword,it could be worth thousands
How much for the zippo?
That's a shady customer in the background with his used power tool. Check out the eyes when $800 passes over the counter..
Love these videos!!
Great video, love the lamp. One think I don’t get though is the guy with the mask down to his chin, what is the purpose. It’s more is a chin guard haha. Must hurt the pulling of the ears though haha
I could never own a pawn shop. Insulting people based off little blemishes on what they are trying to sell.. Or just knowing you are buying something from someone that could be sentimental to them.... But they are selling it because they are down on their luck and need money... knowing that would make me feel like shit. My heart is just to big.
Very humble of you.
This guy is not down on his luck or sentimental. Sword Guy selling stuff to make a quick buck. And those "little blemishes" dramatically affect the value of collector items.
Sword seller mask wearing at it's best
Chin warmer.
Thought the same thing.....why bother wearing it on your chin? Not even close to over his mouth and nose,
That 'CTA' (Chicago Transit Authority) belt buckle MIGHT be worth a pretty penny due to it's connection with the rock group 'Chicago', which was ORIGINALLY called 'Chicago Transit Authority'. They had to officially change their name to 'Chicago' due to objections from the original Transit Authority. The city itself didn't seem to mind........
I'm not an expert, but if I ran a business like this I think I would have offered the customer the money difference after the sale - if I said a price...and the customer said it is worth much more and it sold for a lot more. I think it would have added a lot of trust and goodwill to the company, many of the customers seems like struggling people financially. Peter says he gives half the price that the items sells for other places, prove it by offering the customers the difference if the items is finally sold much higher.
That guy puts his face 2 feet from yours with his mask down, like why even wear a mask at that point lol.
Big men with guns will threaten you if you dont.

"Star Wars, nothing special"
- It's treason, then...
word of caution on pulling/installing old ww2 samurai swords. some of the old military issue scabbards were 2 piece wood side by side full length. with a slight crack from end to end. problem is when you hold the scabbard and insert the sword the blade will protrude out of the crack and give you a nasty cut on the hand. Just say` in, from personal experience
