The Tesla guy is it going to be bringing the Model S catalytic converter next week.
The model S has a catalytic converter?
@@More_Rowit was a joke...
@@Ricardogs ohhh ha ha ha
@@More_Rownot anymore, they phased those out with fallopian tubes, which can only be installed with left handed wrenches, at a specialty auto shop that's located next to a bridge I recently sold.

At a yard sale a couple of years ago, some guy was trying to sell a really old, like 2003 Garmin GPS for $125. I told him it was too much. So he replied, "I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro using this!"
It's still just an old GPS/
Haha
old adage: sentimental value has no monetary value to anyone but you...
This just happen to me at a charity ‘pay what you think’ yard sale, I was buying some old portable DVD player and I gave them $15 for it (not knowing if it worked mind you). The lady was almost offended by the amount and we go ‘well it’s kinda old technology, you can buy one that cheap online’. She goes ‘maybe on eBay but not Amazon’. Anyways I get home and guess what, it doesn’t work. At least if I bought it off eBay I could return it.
@@annaleigh6491Amazon doesn't have stuff that old! 😂
@@annaleigh6491well atleast hopefully went to charity
The gift in the beginning was very thoughtful. Cheers to Kevin.
I was. The only thing is I couldn't tell him that he's pronouncing the name so wrong.
@@stephenthomas1492 😂
The sticker in the beginning is a Celtic Hare , The hare was a sacred and mystical animal to the Celts; a symbol of abundance, prosperity and good fortune. They were believed to have connections to the Otherworld. They were treated with great respect and never eaten.
Imo...That Tesla guy knew exactly what he was doing...knew it was stained & had bad usb ports & didn't disclose any of it...
Pete should not have even thrown out a $225 figure without inspecting it in hand first. Making an offer based on a photo was ill-advised.
Oooch. Pete, got screwed over. Damn. :(
That's probably why he "upgraded" it!
If u see an old timer like best believe they scamming
@@craigman7262 All the lead made this generation into a bunch of criminals.
I think the fact that you said you never dealt with these kind of things should've been your sign to not even touch it. I was surprised you offered anything
Yeah & especially with the size of it & all the things that could be missing off of it. Just goes to show no matter how long you've been in the business mistakes still get made.
I'd argue that's how you get to know about these things. I doubt Pete opened the store knowing so much about all these niche little things.
Sometimes taking a risk and jumping into something new is worth the potential loss if you learn more from it.
I'm also surprised he's never checking FBmarket place just to see what they go, even if the item for sale is not entirely local. Another data point can't hurt.
The classic "I'd like to start dealing with you guys" comment to try and get more money.
I have an IT business and in the 25 years I've been doing it, the people who dangle future business or claim they know people they can refer to us, come through somewhere arouind zero percent of the time. As expected, it's usually in the course of pricing a larger project. It may not be a fair in every case, but it's become somewhat or a red flag for me/ turn off that made me less likely to price aggressively or care if I got the work.
i love the dramatic pause he does when he knows he will accept the $$ offer but wants to make it seem hes giving it some thought.
Funny... Pete would have given $100 for that car. The other guy says "how about $50?"..... Pete sits quiet for 10 seconds pretending to think about it... 😂
I was thinking the same thing hahahahahaha!
Pete was cooking!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha
100% accurate
yea, shaking my head when pete told him it's a $200 toy car and the guy said he'd take $50 ... pete was loving it
@@dirtmike6258 the guy took 50 because its not original and its npt even worth much. Pete made a new video and be sahs he made a stupid buy with this car
Old man Tesla sold you a project. You live and you learn I suppose. We've all been caught lacking one time or another so don't feel too bad. Your knowledge on items, sale prices and profit etc is pretty good. Great video
The Tesla guy clearly wasn’t listening. Glad you said “My offer stands” You are the pro Pete.
I'm in electronics repair and hear ya brother. People not only don't understand what things are worth, they aren't putting a value on the amount of time you're spending with them, your overhead and then you having to resell it after. It was really nice of you to considering paying for something untested. You have a heart of gold sir!
I would have told the Tesla guy to take the part to a junk yard and see what they would offer. If I had this item I would throw it in the garbage. A learning moment. Love your show.
do you own a tesla?
Some people don't hold junk, and what I mean if they don't need it, it's trashed. How many people do you think trow good stuff away just because they don't want to go through trouble. I used to work in the moving industry, and people would tell us to put it in the street so someone would pick it up..whole bedroom sets t.vs radios, you name it. We usually take everything that's good and need. If not, I'll call someone to pick it up. But again, not everyone is rich.
Take the Tesla to the junk yard too. That's where it belongs.
@@titodeninohe can’t afford one
@@user-nl9qm2gd7v lol
Times are tough when people start coming in pawn shops with Tesla parts.
Must not be too tough. The guy didn't budge $5 and left $225 on the table instead.
@@HighCoup333cuz already knew he had him finessed big time. That thing is worth absolutely nothing.
Its not a pawn shop,,purely buy and sell.
Stallone is auctiong off a portion of his watch collection right now. times are tough
@@Sans_Solo_ So you're saying he didn't negotiate his contracts well and spent too much over the years, now has to unload useless luxury items to get by? Poor guy.😭
Buy what you know, when you don't, you get burned like that Tesla console thing
If I only bought things that I knew about I would be broke. This is only good advice if you want to be poor.
Sentimental value makes an item priceless,while the value of an item can be worthless...
It's only worth what someone is willing to pay.
The swagger on the guy in the red shirt. You’d think he was sitting on the Holy Grail. And it’s like he’s making a multi million dollar negotiation.
Seemed like a pretty normal guy to me
U think he had swag so u no what that means
That is exactly how i would talk. He is a good salesman...
@@daveobrien2365nah he seemed like a savy old man. Type to haggle on everything
@@YEC999He gives salesmen a bad name
I remember those times in Poland before devaluation. We were all millionaires back then. Good times. 😅
You sure thought you were. Money only has the amount of value we place on it
@@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery no, we never "thought we were". We literally were millionaires. Like Venezuelans today
Wow, I was amazed you offered 225 on the Tesla part. I was expecting you to say around 150. I didn't much like that guy's manner either, he was pushing for a price that would get you barely any profit whilst trying poorly to sound like Mr Reasonable. 😂 Wasn't surprised it came in & the part's condition was a shambles. I'd avoid dealing with that guy again.
Old Dude was like a GM retired executive type... sell you ice in Alaska... probably a million bucks in his bank account. I know rich guys are the worst to deal with. They have the same swagger as this guy has! Not all rich guys are like him though. I am the opposite!!! PeAcE !!
Are you a woke snowflake. You sound like one. The guy clearly knows how to negotiate. Not everybody is a poor victim for you... LOL
I wouldnt have touched that Tesla console honestly. The market for that part is going to be small and there is a superior upgrade available same reason the seller replaced it orginally
Ebay also charges you a percentage on the shipping amount. Most people do not realize that. You can actually loose money if it's a heavy weight and low price like $5.00 or less.
The fees are calculated on total after they add shipping and taxes, so you’re taking an even bigger hit since taxes in some states is quite high.
@@girlnextdoor0703 I used to sell quite a bit on Ebay. Had a lot of glass items and mechanical parts that I'd take a chance on by listing at low starting bids. Quite a few times items would surprise me with how high they would go. (Best was $1500.00 on a $2.00 starting bid) Some would go for opening bids. When they started chrging percentage, I quit taking the risk as some I ended up paying more in fees than what I got. I contacted Ebay and asked why and they said a few people charging like $125.00 dhipping with a buy it now of $1.00 for a $150.00 item to avoid fees. I told her fine, If you see those people, kick them off and leave us alone. She said they couldn't which I replied that you're TOO lazy and this is all about finding another revunue increase for your company. I told her you are actually going to loose revenue as I will no longer list heavy items that could go for low prices. She then told me to just raise the starting bid to cover the fees on the shipping. I did that one time and explained in the listing saying just that. They pulled all my auctions and said I could say that in the listings. LOL
eBay these days is such a scam compared to the mid 2000s. It's not even worth the average person to sell anything on there. It's all focused on secondary business.
Gotta love dealing with guys that are afraid to offend when making a deal. Dude w the toy car started 50$ less than he should have.
That's all Pete agreed to Pay him, so how was he out $50?
If he would of said $100, Pete would of said $50, so he actually saved Pete time and walked away with the bottom line. Not sure why people's panty's are wadded up
@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery Only panties I see wadded up are the Irish guys with an odd ax to grind with an innocuous comment, lol.
@@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery Only panties I see wadded up are the Irish guy who has a strange ax to grind with a pretty innocuous comment lol. There was no indication that Pete would only pay 50. He said it's a couple hundred dollar car, and everything seems to be original. So how does starting with an offer of 100 not make sense?
He overpaid. Hes now asking $50 for the car
Ive been watching the videos and I really like how you operate your business. You’r videos educate me on what to watch out for when selling on eBay. As a new eBay seller I think you’r videos are actually very helpful. Please post more stuff that educates us (the viewers) on shipping and other things we should know like the center console thing. Sorry about the loss of $ it’s definitely a learning experience
Pete never by car part the land fills won't even take car parts
so, i'm doing a road trip from PA to Washington in a few weeks. it just so happens that your shop is almost right on the route im taking. definitely going to have to pop in and say hi! i love your content!
The ghostbusters cardboard advertisement was a permanent display for movie stores featuring the betamax and vhs version. Laser disc was a different design with no betamax or vhs symbols. Such a cool poster to have from 1984. Ghostbusters Jurassic Park and Jaws merch is gold Pete lol. High fan base. Top buck resell. It's top seller stuff for me at least. Love your videos! Cheers my friend.
new subscriber from Michigan. I love your channel, but it's a bit of a bummer to do this all day and come home and watch it all night! I feel like I never stop working. haha. anyway, this is exactly why we don't do any car parts in our shop. way too many variables that can't be tested at the point of purchase, and the customers are always on some kind of hustle! love it man, keep up the great work!
Peter, I've only been a watcher for about a year now, I can tell you conduct a fair business, great integrity my friend!🤩 I adore your Honey kitty! Such a sweet kitty.🥰
I like how honest and transparent you are about how you run things. Bet you get many returning customers because of this attitude.
always polite and professional
When someone thinks they deserve to make every last cent on an item....I don't even give them a chance....I say I'm not interested in overpaying for merchandise but I will use my money to overpay for a crab dinner later. 😂😂
I need these videos to be longer, I love the content hahaha
Pete, i have been in the auto business for most of my life. Parts and repair. Unless a piece is rare and hard to find the standard rule for used parts is half of what it is new and that's only if its in like new condition. Like you said Broken pieces or damage effects the price a lot. i think the best bet for you is to just pass on auto parts. I haven't even touched on shipping and the like. I'm sure you know all of what I'm saying just wanted to chime in being from this industry. Thanks and keep up the great work...🤓
Thank you
Greetings from Ireland Pete, you’re so patient with people, I’d explode dealing with them, cheers
sadly that tesla part will probably not be worth even selling but it is an inexpensive lesson.
Yup. Anything more than just tossing it in the dumpster will increase the loss.
Why tho? I don’t get these responses. If Pete saw multiple sold listimgs for over $400, why would his not ever sell?
@@daveobrien2365because they still listed, they don’t sell.
@@daveobrien2365 keep watching the video
They want you to assume the risk, the hassle and the postage and still give them full price... just doesn't make sense on your end!
The Tesla guy lol. You have a lot of patience.
Check out replacement USB ports for the Tesla console. And other replacement parts.
Pete and the guy at 29:32 definitely have a bromance and I'm here for it🤣
I am a senior, I have to tell you I asked after watching your channel. I have a newfound respect for pawn shops. You have amazing patients and verbal skills with people. I couldn't do it. I also believe your pricing is very fair. You have to make a living and keep the lights on .
I will never question your integrity again Pete.
Well you learnt something today which you should already know, don't buy things you don't know much about, win some lose some, guy was trying it on & he knew it
$225 offer on the Tesla center counsel was way too high. I would offer $100 since it will cost more to list it, pack it, store it, etc. If it was a small item like a knife then the 50% off Ebay sold comp is good. But for a large item I would be way lower. Nobody is going to give him that kind of money for a used Tesla center counsel locally since they can get it for $200 at a junk yard.
Bad purchase for sure
Console. Cars don't have Counsels
I keep away from large and heavy items.
That console is a bite. 😳
Happens to us all.
Nice video Pete. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
I just wanted to say that watching you has helped me bond more with my son because he also loves watching you. Your awsome
How about you read some books with you're son.
Shouldn’t have had a son if you didn’t want one.
You can repair the Tesla imperfection with a little compound/polish.
Hi Pete, Im glad to finally watch yesterdays video.
My thought is that people think that their collectible stuff is GOLD because it's OLD. 😅😅
And as you know, people are greedy and dont like to lose money on things they bought in 1956. ❤
Hi Pete, you are truly generous with most of your offers. Sometimes its a good hit or a big miss with certain merchandise.
At my Pawn Shop in Maine My boss usually offered 25-40% off retail value, depending on supply, condition, demand or uniqueness all for which I know you asset. I think you are extremely fair with your offers and know the values of items. It’s Unfortunately about the Tesla console, buthopefully there are more wins than not so good ones.
Take care and keep up the informative and great quality videos.
Regards, Eddie B
Glad Otto is back. Hey Pete you ever see my electric longboard I sold to y’all one weekend?
I would love to spectate! Keep me in the loop about the skis. Love Craigslist Hunter!

You are a PRO boss!
Thank you, Kevin.
shout out from spokane washington ... another viewer from that city!
I love that this is so authentic and real, opposite pawn strs.
I'm going to send you a Colorado hat! Happy 420 😀
Hello Pete 👋 long time watcher of your channel long time resident of Washington state if you get a chance to go to Washington State make sure that you see the east side of the state which is mostly desert kind of area with the Columbia river running through the middle of it that's where Spokane is
I will match Maggies offer on the water ski attempy...., lol Good Luck Pete !
Great vid! Enjoyed your channel. Can you guys please point out counterfeits if you do run across them? Anything in general? Also tell us your story about fakes and knockoffs if you guys ever take any in? Great content! Would love to visit your shop one day!! 👍
"Century located" Gotta love how Pete pronounces words sometimes. Lol
entertaining : )
Oh Man Pete i would of paid you $100 for that Ghostbusters poster. I bought one for $40 that someone told me was vintage and turns out it was made in 2017. I wish i knew you had that poster, and its the cardboard one, even better! Argggg.. ok im gonna go meditate now for 30mins!
I am from Cornwall I love your videos 💯 you do amazing stuff my daughter loves your bird ❤️ to
Never thought I’d ever see my city Spokane Washington mentioned in a video. Awesome
Did you ever see the “Frasier” episode when he does his radio show from Spokane?
No
Yes!
As a shopper on eBay I think a lot of them accounts where the price for the item is like out of range is a setup add to make the item look like it's more than what it really is and then a couple ads down the item will be for sale way cheaper
I'd love a video about some of ur worst purchases, think it would make for an interesting video
PETE YOU SIR ARE A 💎 GEM.. DETROIT HERE AGAIN.. GOOD PEOPLE
Awesome show!!!
Interesting how these old farts come in and try to tell Pete how to run his business. You’re a lot more patient than me. Ida sent that Tesla knob packing inside of 5m
Until you become an old fart I'm sure you'd love being called tgat
Tesla Knob, NAILED IT! 😅

Hey, I don’t know if anyone told you, but if you’re cell phone company, let’s you change Sims and devices interchangeably you can just pop your Sim into the phone someone selling you and if it works, it’s good to go😊
Just started watching you today nice
If you can't move it for any profit I would find a local pic-a-part auto place to see about trade value & use that for you, family, or employees to put towards a part they are needing for thier car. At least if anything turn that bad buy into a good jester.
That lazy guy you got working for you with the baseball cap, get him cleaning the shop.
I've known since I was an 8 year old in the 1980s that Pawn Shops are where you go if you want to get a quick and easy 50% of the resell value of your item. You're trading convenience and an assured sell for significantly less money than you'd get by taking the time and/or risk of selling it yourself. It's so strange to me that some people have a hard time wrapping their head around this simple concept.
nice to know that im not the only one that watches from Spokane , Wa. .. Small world i guess lol .. Thoughtful gift indeed and very cool to see that type of currency ..
You can get the wrap around the console at a motor sport store for like $10 will bump up the value a little for sure
New subscriber. love your videos.
The simple and truthful answer to your question is because rent is too damn high. I see people at the Swap Meet nowadays here in California with things priced higher than what you can buy the same item for brand new.
My kitties love those snacks too!!!
you have to make money for you you cannot go paying a high price you have a business to run wages to cover and you have obligations where as people that sell people on line like market place etc I'm from Australia and ill tell you what you give a very reasonable price for everything i love watching your videos
Hey Pete love your videos Honey and Ruby also
Car parts and trims are a huge gamble
GOD IS GREAT
BEER IS GOOD 👍
And Remember
PEOPLE are CRAZY 🤣
For small hard to see print , take a pic with your phone and zoom in to read.
I don't blame you on passing on the NUMARK and cheap ukes.
Because it is worth gold ✨️ to them, that's the whole thing, it's worth gold to them and it's similar to when I go to a clients home and do Hoarding clean up, in fact you've seen our company (Steri-Clean) on the show hoarders if you've ever seen that show, we are the people who come in and clean it up and it NEVER fails, when we go into most of these homes, these people unfortunately believe their garbage to be worth so much, but when we go to assess the property or whatever it is that they are attempting to say is worth so much is usually and typically garabge and we throw it out. As a pawn person, such as yourself, you should know exactly 💯% what it means and I know the title of the video is a rhetorical type assertion, but we all know why they think it's worth gold, because it is to them. Thanks for the interesting content. Excellent stuff!
Leave it to Pete to slip up in the first 90 seconds and say Spokane Michigan
Relax
Also, I know he has an accent but he pronounced it like “spoken”….
Washington/Michigan, same thing? Beautiful northern states with lots of trees and water.
Yup one biggest mistake when anyone google item can ask anything you want but in reality only worth what average willing give you so most important look at SOLD LISTINGS keep up good work Pete
21:10. I just bought 4 basketballs at a thrift store 2 or 3 weeks ago and sold all 4 within a week for $40 plus shipping each. I would never say no to anything. At least have a look at them and look them up. You never know. I've found so many things over the years that I would have never thought had any value.
Love the Tesla guy negotiates like a retired CEO full pro..
If that Ghost Busters theatre poster is printed on cardboard, it's not a real original. If it was glued to cardboard the value is gone. Check to make sure that it's a real poster with just a cardboard backing for support or a reproduction art piece. Normal sized posters come to the theater either rolled or folded.
I know that feeling when you buy something pre owned and when really inspecting it find flaws that I missed. I stopped making offers one some preowned items if I couldn’t see the item in person. I hope you can break even.
You win some, you lose some. People have to understand the wholesale/ reseller value when selling to you. You have to make money after you pay your bills and your employees. If it’s not worth it to you then people have to understand and they can try to unload it themselves.
I see it a lot on eBay. Like he said you can can list it for whatever you want but, does not mean it will sell for that. I collect sports cards and a common thing I see on eBay is really low value Michael Jordan cards and people are asking hundreds or thousands of dollars for a card that I know sells for less than 10 bucks. Just cause it is a Jordan does not mean it is some super valuable holy grail. I am sometimes convinced that people are using Michael Jordan cards to launder money through eBay. Some of the prices I see are absolutely insane.
27:20 Just selling basic items on eBay from my experience the buyers don't want to pay for shipping....everyone is spoiled because of Amazon free shipping. So after shipping cost and eBay cut of the action doesn't leave much of a profit margin.
Dude screwed you with the center console… he knew the usb was broke, stained, missing screws… ouch.
Yea I could tell right away this guy was a con artist....something about him was not trustworthy. Same goes for Elon Musk would never buy a Tesla
from Spokane Washington. thats where im sitting as i watch this video
I agree that you assume a lot of risk - but that shouldn’t cost someone else money when they are trying to sell something- most people are selling because they are in need- just get rid of the Tesla people LOL- I was screaming at you not to buy that center console- did you hear me
The guy that sold you, the Tesla council I knew was selling it for a reason and now you know the reason, the USB port was rusted and buggered up and the stain you’re never going to get out of it are 2 reasons why he was selling it. Also if I had a Tesla and need the center console I wouldn’t buy it; so I’m really sorry you got taken to the cleaners. Next time that guy comes in trying to sell you something beware. 😮 Love your videos 👍
