Tools seem to hold very little actual value. I remember my old neighbor had a full workshop in his basement with literally thousands of tools. When he died, his son tried selling what he could and had yard sales. Made almost nothing. He ended up telling all of us neighbors to just help ourselves to it. Pieces that are half a century old have lasted longer than the new junk they sell today.

Love the show. I worked part time in a small pawn shop when I was in college. I never got to make deals, I mostly just did inventory and what ever I was told to do. It was a cool job. Lot's of the same people would come through every month or so. We did a lot of small loans as well. Boss taught me about price vs value. Even though he negotiated, because people expected it, he knew exactly what he was going to pay for something right after a good look and appraisal (done in his head as no internet then). He was a super cool guy. Very good to me. Since I was having to work 3 jobs to pay for school, he let we work more hours than he needed and when I he knew it was close to Christmas, he'd make me a great deal on a present for my girlfriend. Less than he'd paid for it. He'd probably gave it to me but he knew I'd neve accept it. Never liked the guys that you knew were trying to rip you off. Those people he could smell a mile away and people he thought were thieves, he'd not even talk to them.

That was cool of you to take the extra time to teach the kid and be x-tra fair with him. Was nice to see !! 👍 The second guy..... well you had way more patience with him than I would have had.

I collect Swatch watches and that was a 1989 Grey Line GB411. Worth about $35. A little secret: The date on the watch dial is the copyright date 1988 that is usually a year before the watch was released to the public. The real date of the watch is on the rear, like 9315-P would be 9-1989 31-week 5- day of the week. Also when I seen that guy with the tools I thought it was 'Classy' Freddie Blassie, the wrestler, although he passed away several years ago.

The guy with the tools, I literally have complete tool sets from the nineteen-teens to when they closed their last retail store in the area about ten years ago. I watched their close-out sales until they hit 50% off, then went in and spent almost $900.00 on set after set of tools; I know I have more tools than I'll ever use; most of them are still in the packaging, but there's a difference between needing tools and wanting them!!

That tool guy is so annoying. Pete has the patience of a saint… i swear, every time he took out his sheet of paper my blood began to boil

That kid in the yellow hat was a real delight. Sort of restores your faith in the modern generation. He must make his folks very, very proud of him.

He's even going to sell the ratchets to his "friend" without the set rail, so he could save on shipping.

It's always the same thing with tools...people expect way too much money for them. I could go to my local hardware store and buy tools that I need for like $5 a piece. Sure, most are junk these days but for most people in my view don't care. They simply need to get a random task done around the house and don't want to spend a premium for something that gets used once a year.

I had a pawn shop I went to as a kid and his name was “Honest Abe” and he treated me just like that and schooled me and I went there often for the next 35 years until he retired. I collected WWII stuff and he would call me from all over the states to tell me what he found for me.. Pete reminds me of him.

Oh man that last guy was so damn nice it almost brought a tear to eye, I can just tell he’s a genuine soul ❤

The tool guy took about 100 hours off your life .

That absolutely makes sense. I'm a small business owner and i give estimates all the time and a lot of people wonder why the price is so high and i try to explain to them pretty much exactly what you just explained. Everything that goes on behind the scene the overhead the wear and tear the gas the equipment and tools and materials and the cost to the business owner not even including paying yourself a salary there is very little to none left at the end and then the actual business makes nothing then that business goes out of business.

I don’t know how you do it. I wouldn’t have the patience for these cheap *&@#$*. You’re a good man Peter. 🙏

Peter is really passionate about his vintage finds. I can understand why he might not want to invest in items that won't make a profit in his business

Peter you don't have to justify what your selling and what your profit is. You have employees to pay, rent, etc. If people sell their items to you its because they need the quick cash. They can list their items on other sites but the majority are to lazy to do so. Btw, is Vicky still working for you?

You're absolutely right that he doesn't have to justify anything. The explanation at the end, however, I think is pretty important. A lot of people balk at the idea that there's not enough money in buying a $40 item for $20. At face value it looks like you'd double your money. Peter's explanation shows it's not that simple. Another thing that's fairly important that he didn't mention is that selling something on Ebay also has additional noteworthy drawbacks. Both go somewhat hand in hand but being required to offer some kind of warranty (Ebay guarantees to buyers that items meet expectations, etc. It's difficult to truly sell something 'as is' and never accept returns) as well as having to deal with scammers. The lower the price point of an item the less it's worth buying it for. Hopefully people stuck through the video to the end and get a better understanding of why they're wrong about perceiving so many of these pawn shops to be 'lowballers'.

​@@jeffwallace5447no he isn't. Why are you making things up?

That guy had to be a used car or real estate salesman.

This guy reminds me of a woman who tried to sell me a curio cabinet a few years ago. She felt that the cabinet was so valuable, but, it objectively was in bad shape-busted, scratched up, yet her misconception of its inflated value meant that she was stuck with it and would have to waste time going through scheduling appointments that would not go anywhere. I ended up buying a high quality cabinet for a great price, by a family who had used it for 20 years, and didn't quibble about the price.
