Dont be fooled he heard everything. If he feigns he is preoccupied then the con doesnt read off him. Little trick lets them go on and stack up more bs with the story. I am sure he has seen it a hundred times.

Had a few like that.
Pete, dont you know? Elvis is still alive and well! He bought a bass in the early 90s and moved next door to this girl's father. They were drinking one night and Elvis sold him the bass for $50. Now , its worth $5.000. Pete, how could you pass up this incredible opportunity? Jeez!!
I'm not sure its right to assume shes a gambling drug freak. She said he died and left her with alot of Bill's so maybe hold off before you pass judgement.
Actually, Elvis did play around with a Bass. He was playing a bass guitar on his couch, when he met the Beatles the very first time in California. Obviously, not those period and import bass guitars, but yes he knew how to play a bass.

Elvis’s guitar. Riiiiight. I once dated a girl from Memphis. Apparently her grandfather was a drummer around Memphis way back in the day and was kind of deep in the Memphis music scene. She knew I was a big Elvis fan and we were on a date once and she was telling me a story about how when she was a baby her grandfather had her somewhere where a bunch of cats were hanging out and lo and behold, in walked Elvis. She then proceeded to tell me about how the king commented on her being a beautiful baby, and leaned down and kissed her. I had seen photos of her grandfather’s music career, and for a minute I was f&@king AMAZED. Then I thought for a moment about how I was born in 79, and this chick was like 2-3 years younger than me. I’m not sure if she was making the story up to impress me, or if that was a story that someone had told her somewhere along the way. Now I know the truth. The king kissed my ex on the forehead RIGHT AFTER he sold this 80’s model short scale bass to this broad’s dad.
Yes. Elvis was notoriously bad with money, when he died he had 5 mill in property (Graceland, his catalogue, cars, jewellery etc) but only 10k in his checking account and his generosity was a huge reason for that. She is full of ****. Priscilla licensed his image and created the branded empire Lisa Marie inherited, which sadly is now also gone.
@@blondesense1708 didn't Lisa Marie sell all the rights to Sony or someone and lose a lot to idiot husband and divorce. I agree elvis was probably bad with money, but I have never heard him ever selling anything, if he played with elvis and wanted the guitar, I would like to think ekvis would have given it him, not sell it to him. Stay Safe.
As soon as I saw that bass I was like "that thing looks like it was made 20 years after he died". It probably only cost about $120 brand new. I've never even heard of a brand called "Shredder", it's probably one of those old Sears catalog guitars.
I dont know if I would call her a scammer just because her dad told her a story, she might believe it if it happened or not that's her dads story seems like a bad idea to put it in a title
She appears to be completely full of it. Throws in a random, 'dad died from covid' reference, as a current sympathy plea, then when Pete said the guitar was from late 80s/90s, switched to having a couple of accordions for sale. From Elvis' guitar to old accordions in a matter of minutes.
“Idk I just took it out of his garage today... I mean closet.” 🤣🤣😂 Caught herself telling the truth lol. She knows no avid guitar player with an Elvis Presley original guitar would keep it in a garage lol.
Yes Elvis did play bass guitar back in the 50's the bass player for "Baby don't be Square" quit and so Elvis took up the Bass and played it on the song and it is Elvis you hear playing the Bass, Elvis played by ear and was very good at picking up tunes just by hearing a song once.
Just a little bit of a, FYI, Elvis did play the Bass guitar. His most well known Bass was his 1960's, Olympic White Fender Precision Bass, also known as a P-Bass. You can catch a glimpse of his Olympic White P-Bass in the movie "Spinout".
and on August 27, 1965 when The Beatles came to visit him in Hollywood Elvis sat on the sofa playing that very bass to a jukebox which repeatedly played "Mohair Sam". The basses the women brought in were pawn shop/flea market grade instruments which together would struggle to be worth $100.
@David Wang Elvis DID play the bass. In fact, he played the bass in the studio recording for the song, "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care" in 1957, which was released on his "Jailhouse Rock" EP. Don't believe me, believe the Music Historian, Joel Whitburn, founder of Record Research Inc., in 1970.
@Max Larson I never said he Played the bass in concerts. He did Play the bass for his enjoyment to relax but in 1957, he played the bass in the studio recording for the song, "You're So Square - Baby I Don't Care", on the Jailhouse Rock album. This information was confirmed by Joel Whitburn who is a Music Historian and founder of Record Research Inc.
i have a set of pokeman cards that elvis himself collected and gave to me for $5 while we were drinking some years ago. i don't have any paperwork but he did tell me himself that he loved those cards and spent lots of time collecting them.
Speaking of elvis, my neighbor said he was in the army and saw elvis. This was awhile ago like early 2000’s maybe. before I’ve moved out from my parents house. He was new to the neighborhood. I don’t think he lives their anymore probably past away by now
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but, if none of them have an ID, how did they drive to the shop? Did they haul everything on public transport or walk there?
Good to see you removed "scammer" label. Much respect for that. I too removed my former comments criticizing you. Let's move forward with mutual respect for all!!!!
A guitar from Elvis?? She ain’t nothing but a hound dog Lyin’ all the time She needs to be handcuffed and goin’ to a party at the county jail Everybody in the whole cell block Will be dancin’ to the jailhouse rock Thank you, thank you very much (Elvis has left the building because he forgot his damn ID)
Omg you are so sweet and so good with talking to people . I don't know how you manage to always compose yourself not calling them out on their BS. I mean really wait for this you guys I have one that belonged to Elvis Presley but I dont have the paperwork. People just dont think before they speak. They are very lucky some people would call them out and humiliate them. So it's nice to see as often as it happens to you your still a gentlemen.
I'm not sure but I thought I heard her say something about her dad's house in Texas I may be mistaken but if so why would you bring something all the way from Texas
Its sad how when someone like a parent passes away and their life was playing them instruments and 70$ is more valuable then the sentimental value of just keeping them. People are too quick to just get rid of the things they enjoyed in life.
Amen. This is pathetic. The very wood that conjured the music her father enjoyed in his life. Priceless and she sells it for 70 bucks. Dad is spinning in his grave.
Luv your channel. I remember the day Elvis died. It was in the Summer of 1977. I was in college and working for a retail chain that's been long out of business. Walked in the back room where one of the girls was crying. I had no clue Elvis had just died. She was from Tennessee and I thought she was just a little over the top with her emotions.
She keeps going with the Elvis narrative in regards to those specific two guitars even after Pete tells her that they couldn't be. She had worked the story in her head for so long that she couldn't let go of it, even in the face of direct, contradictory evidence.
Did you miss the part when she said that he left her bills to pay??? Also his stuff was getting ransacked by other family members so might as well get some money out of something
@@lynnecrisp if you are an only child, sure you can keep mementos. but when someone dies and they have several kids, grandkids, etc, usually they ambush their house and start ransacking belongings. if there is something that might be worth something, might as well sell it before it falls in the wrong hands.
I recently saw a video interview of all the Beatles talking about when they first met Elvis. When they arrived at his house he was watching TV and playing a bass guitar, so Elvis did play the bass. Obviously he never played a cheap bass that was made in the eighties.
I've got a Hammond organ that Mozart used. My grandfather ran a recording studio in Vienna in 1788. Mozart used to jam there all the time and my grandfather traded him a Les Paul for the organ. It says "Made in China" on the organ....but all the greats were using Chinese equipment back then.
How much for the Hammond? All the best organs were made in China back then. China is still number one in the organ business. Black market human organs, that is. 👍
Seems more like an idiot (and possibly compulsive liar) than a scammer. Any decent scammer would know to have an ID (at least a fake one) when selling to a pawn shop.
He said it was made in Indonesia and 10 years old and you still want to look for the “paperwork or pictures” from Elvis? There’s scamming and then there is just plain stupidity. Best part is they think they’re pulling a fast one when in reality, you can see right through it! 😂
Dad died, she's complaining someone ransacked the room. But not becuase of the lost treasures but becuase of the lost money she could of got. I feel so bad for the dead guy
My grandads next door neighbor’s son’s aunt’s postman once played guitar for Elvis in 1978 and this here reconditioned pick is the last one the ‘King’ ever used on his powerboat off the coast of Newfoundland. Seriously, if I hadn’t had the tattoo removed commemorating that event, you’d buy it!
Wow!! This woman can tell a good story! Scratch that!! If she Could tell a good story, it would be Believable. Elvis would not be doing a "GIG" and have a bass for sale. Elvis' bassist would have been Jerry Scheff or Duke Bardwell. I highly doubt they would be selling their instrument at a show. Plus, she said they were drinking together. "Bulls***"!!! Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely a subscriber now. Lol.
Elvis did mess around with bass though. One he owned is still displayed leaning against his couch in Graceland. It was much much nicer than the 80's kramer she tried to sell you though.
Maybe her dad just told tall tales (and she obviously knows nothing about guitars). I'm not convinced she was trying to scam you. She took the guitars home as if she still thought there was a chance one belonged to Elvis.
I hate to say it, but I think I'm with you on this one. There are sooo many people out there who know nothing of context, timelines and maybe just aren't the brightest. Her dad may have totally spun such a story, ran with it, and the kids heard it over and over, all their lives. I don't think if SHE were scamming she would have had details like the whole recording/jamming set up in a living room (which people do) with 'reel-to-reel' tape machine. That was a pretty good detail. It was there and there weren't a bunch of other details thrown in...which would have been waaay more suspicious. I think this is just a case of what Pete said: "don't trust anybody"...so they must be lying. I think they may just be misguided and naive.
Such lies,,,,,they are all scammers. They aren't responsible for dad's bills, they are selling his stuff and splitting the money. That's why they keep checking with each other.
I like the part where the girl said it sounded nice, and then mimicked a high pitched guitar rift... even though it's a bass. - Now that I think of it the Senfield theme would be very appropriate for this video. Not only is this a comically bad scam, but it's played on a bass.
1st, Elvis played bass guitar around the house regularly enough for him to be playing a Fender Precision when the Beatles visited him. 2nd, The Shredder Bass (That obviously isn't Elvis's and I wonder how much she sold that one for, if it was true..) is worth more than the Squire.. There's a market for 80s beginner guitars now everyone's a 'luthier' with time on their hands ;) 3rd.. I want to see more musical instruments!! Great channel btw.
I have a pair of used "depends" from Vernon Presley (Elvis' dad) from the late 50s!!!... I'm looking to get at least $$13,000 for them!!! A little crappy but in pretty good condition otherwise than the corn and peanuts!!!

What kind of a world do we live in where we can't even trust a stranger's word that Elvis Presley gave them the guitar they're trying to pawn instead of auction?
first red flag for me she started running at the mouth talking way to much while he was not even paying attention she would shut up probably trying to throw him off his game
For sure! When people start repeating "Yeah, its very nice! Wow, its so nice!" Be aware! Its possible someone is trying to dupe you.

Maybe she meant "Elvis", her neighbor. Her father was drinking with his neighbor on the late 80s and bought the bass from his neighbor, called Elvis.

As a guitar dealer, I can say with confidence Elvis wouldn't have touched that bass with a 10ft pole.
But it’s a “shredder” straight from the knockoff factory that Elvis himself sold while drinking beers with the guy!😂

When you said sorry that her Dad passed away from C, she didn’t even acknowledge what you said and she kept right on going with the grift.
I also think he said he passed away before 1990 when Pete was talking about when the guitar was sold
First thing I noticed
@@donshields2379 that was about elvis
Scam, not grift.
I noticed that straight away too
They really pulled up thinking they were about to walk out with $10,000

Any Elvis-owned/ played guitar/bass with established provenance will go to auction at a half mil opening bid and the insanity begins there.
so funny its worth about 7 bucks

right!?
Yea the way she said I didn't even see that, you know she pulled that tag right off.

No way the “King Of Rock and Roll” was ever in a tough spot where he’d have to sell a guitar for cash in his prime. Never.
"they were drinking" though. Maybe he needed cash for a packy run.
exactly he would just give it away if it was his friend
His name alone makes money
I knew Elvis is alive!!
Red Carbon selling guitars 🎸
He played bass through the 80s in Winger
@@humanipulationnation Don't forget about his stints with Spinal Tap and Twisted Sister.
Do you guys ever have issues with shop lifters.
yes, he has mentioned several times someone taking a keyboard cord..
Stories were Flowing like fine wine 🍷
She appears to be completely full of it.
Throws in a random, 'dad died from covid' reference, as a current sympathy plea, then when Pete said the guitar was from late 80s/90s, switched to having a couple of accordions for sale.
From Elvis' guitar to old accordions in a matter of minutes.
Why are there so many people there during covic when she says a family member just died from Covid
Thank you, exactly!! Please read my comment I just posted.
Pete said he would like to see that Elvis guitar and she was like: yeah me too .... 🤔🤣
I’ve got a receipt from Elvis but no guitar, we should meet up.
hahaha
Not necessarily a scammer, just someone who probably believed her dad's tall tales and didn't know any better.
She also said one time in the video "We took it from hes garage... Erm... closet"
no id ...yeah ok
“Idk I just took it out of his garage today... I mean closet.” 🤣🤣😂 Caught herself telling the truth lol. She knows no avid guitar player with an Elvis Presley original guitar would keep it in a garage lol.
🤣🤣🤣 I laughed at that too!
I don't think any avid guitarist would keep ANY guitar in a garage. I sure don't keep mine there, not even the cheap ones.
I'd keep it in my cold dead decaying arms.
Yes Elvis did play bass guitar back in the 50's the bass player for "Baby don't be Square" quit and so Elvis took up the Bass and played it on the song and it is Elvis you hear playing the Bass, Elvis played by ear and was very good at picking up tunes just by hearing a song once.
Just a little bit of a, FYI, Elvis did play the Bass guitar. His most well known Bass was his 1960's, Olympic White Fender Precision Bass, also known as a P-Bass. You can catch a glimpse of his Olympic White P-Bass in the movie "Spinout".
and on August 27, 1965 when The Beatles came to visit him in Hollywood Elvis sat on the sofa playing that very bass to a jukebox which repeatedly played "Mohair Sam". The basses the women brought in were pawn shop/flea market grade instruments which together would struggle to be worth $100.
@David Wang Elvis DID play the bass. In fact, he played the bass in the studio recording for the song, "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care" in 1957, which was released on his "Jailhouse Rock" EP. Don't believe me, believe the Music Historian, Joel Whitburn, founder of Record Research Inc., in 1970.
@Max Larson I never said he Played the bass in concerts. He did Play the bass for his enjoyment to relax but in 1957, he played the bass in the studio recording for the song, "You're So Square - Baby I Don't Care", on the Jailhouse Rock album. This information was confirmed by Joel Whitburn who is a Music Historian and founder of Record Research Inc.
i have a set of pokeman cards that elvis himself collected and gave to me for $5 while we were drinking some years ago. i don't have any paperwork but he did tell me himself that he loved those cards and spent lots of time collecting them.
Speaking of elvis, my neighbor said he was in the army and saw elvis. This was awhile ago like early 2000’s maybe. before I’ve moved out from my parents house. He was new to the neighborhood. I don’t think he lives their anymore probably past away by now
You are starting to look defeated from all the scammers. Keep your head up Pete and thanks for another great video.
Yea Peter i have a tesla model 3 that Elvis owned, that's what my grandfather said. Would you be interested in paying 6 times retail 🤔
A 1980s-1990s guitar from Elvis can mean only one thing. Elvis lives.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but, if none of them have an ID, how did they drive to the shop? Did they haul everything on public transport or walk there?
Ha, I just made the same comment.
Do they need ID to start a car?
Good to see you removed "scammer" label. Much respect for that. I too removed my former comments criticizing you. Let's move forward with mutual respect for all!!!!
A guitar from Elvis??
She ain’t nothing but a hound dog
Lyin’ all the time
She needs to be handcuffed
and goin’ to a party at the county jail
Everybody in the whole cell block
Will be dancin’ to the jailhouse rock
Thank you, thank you very much
(Elvis has left the building because he forgot his damn ID)
Its a crime to be an idiot??? Yeah it should be lol... Get some cuffs for Joe Biden...
Omg you are so sweet and so good with talking to people . I don't know how you manage to always compose yourself not calling them out on their BS. I mean really wait for this you guys I have one that belonged to Elvis Presley but I dont have the paperwork. People just dont think before they speak. They are very lucky some people would call them out and humiliate them. So it's nice to see as often as it happens to you your still a gentlemen.
I'm not sure but I thought I heard her say something about her dad's house in Texas I may be mistaken but if so why would you bring something all the way from Texas
exactly! She said she "just took it out of his garager...er...closet today". Huh? What a liar.
people move all the time. she said her dad was Big time in Texas, so who knows how long ago that was.
Good stuff here. I also like the new series on things that sold. Definitely bring more scammer videos caught on camera.
She doesn’t even seem that slightest bit sad that her Dad just passed, that’s so sad 😢
Her dad was in a car outside waiting to take them to the next shop with another 'Elvis' guitar.
Its sad how when someone like a parent passes away and their life was playing them instruments and 70$ is more valuable then the sentimental value of just keeping them. People are too quick to just get rid of the things they enjoyed in life.
You didn't notice the rat-like quality to them all? Nothing but vermin.
that sounds like a good way to start collecting a ton of junk and be a pack rat
Amen. This is pathetic. The very wood that conjured the music her father enjoyed in his life. Priceless and she sells it for 70 bucks. Dad is spinning in his grave.
You can't keep everything unfortunately
@@Johnnodonoughue you sound like your missing the point.....
It’s really sad that her dad died, and his pride possessions end up in a pawn shop. His kids should be ashamed of themselves.
Exactly what I was thinking. To disrespect “The King”and your Dad in the same room?!? I’m surprised she wasn’t struck by lightning ⚡️ 😂
and if he was in a band his friends for sure would have jammed on his gear to pay respects
He’s probably in the car live and well
Some families have no choice but to sell their possessions to pay for funeral expenses.
@@strawberryseeds I doubt that’s what they’re doing
Luv your channel. I remember the day Elvis died. It was in the Summer of 1977. I was in college and working for a retail chain that's been long out of business. Walked in the back room where one of the girls was crying. I had no clue Elvis had just died. She was from Tennessee and I thought she was just a little over the top with her emotions.
all of that stuff probably stolen.
She keeps going with the Elvis narrative in regards to those specific two guitars even after Pete tells her that they couldn't be. She had worked the story in her head for so long that she couldn't let go of it, even in the face of direct, contradictory evidence.
She was so confident right off the rip but didn’t bring paperwork? That’s bold
Elvis never drank, and from what I’ve read about him he was so generous he would give things away
She didn't waste any time in cleaning him out. My baby brother died 5 yrs ago & I have kept his mementos
Did you miss the part when she said that he left her bills to pay??? Also his stuff was getting ransacked by other family members so might as well get some money out of something
@@gmagain No I missed that part but regardless everyone is different
@@lynnecrisp if you are an only child, sure you can keep mementos. but when someone dies and they have several kids, grandkids, etc, usually they ambush their house and start ransacking belongings.
if there is something that might be worth something, might as well sell it before it falls in the wrong hands.
@@gmagain Yeah but why wouldn't u wanna keep em as mementos & everyone is different
@@lynnecrisp that's not the point. she might have wanted to but coudn't because it was either SELL or lose it all to random family members.
I recently saw a video interview of all the Beatles talking about when they first met Elvis. When they arrived at his house he was watching TV and playing a bass guitar, so Elvis did play the bass. Obviously he never played a cheap bass that was made in the eighties.
I bet she spells the signature as Elvis Parsley on the receipt
I've got a Hammond organ that Mozart used. My grandfather ran a recording studio in Vienna in 1788. Mozart used to jam there all the time and my grandfather traded him a Les Paul for the organ.
It says "Made in China" on the organ....but all the greats were using Chinese equipment back then.
How much for the Hammond?
All the best organs were made in China back then.
China is still number one in the organ business.
Black market human organs, that is. 👍
Shifty looking criminals.
Seems more like an idiot (and possibly compulsive liar) than a scammer. Any decent scammer would know to have an ID (at least a fake one) when selling to a pawn shop.
Her father might really have told her stories and she believed him. I don’t know if I would have called her a scammer 😬
Exactly. Her father was scamming his kids.
This girl was a total fraud. She is nothing but a scammer looking for a big payday. She’s a clown.
No ID, ups the chance she's trying to scam, could be the stuff was all stolen by the hoodlums with her.
How do you drive to the shop with no ID to be driving? Everyone carries ID when they drive.
@@kirkjohnson9353 Only the guilty NEVER do lol
Pete, why did you cut off at the part where she asked if the other person with her had an ID?? Were you guys able to do the deal??
He said it was made in Indonesia and 10 years old and you still want to look for the “paperwork or pictures” from Elvis? There’s scamming and then there is just plain stupidity. Best part is they think they’re pulling a fast one when in reality, you can see right through it! 😂
The 70/ 80s isn't 10 years ago lady....quick math
@@johnwheels89 Watch the video again. One was a little older, one of them was 10 years old. You’re welcome 😊
Dad died, she's complaining someone ransacked the room. But not becuase of the lost treasures but becuase of the lost money she could of got. I feel so bad for the dead guy
My grandads next door neighbor’s son’s aunt’s postman once played guitar for Elvis in 1978 and this here reconditioned pick is the last one the ‘King’ ever used on his powerboat off the coast of Newfoundland. Seriously, if I hadn’t had the tattoo removed commemorating that event, you’d buy it!
Wow!! This woman can tell a good story! Scratch that!! If she Could tell a good story, it would be Believable. Elvis would not be doing a "GIG" and have a bass for sale. Elvis' bassist would have been Jerry Scheff or Duke Bardwell. I highly doubt they would be selling their instrument at a show. Plus, she said they were drinking together. "Bulls***"!!! Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely a subscriber now. Lol.
When she told this story all that came in to my head was the song suspicion by elvis 😂
Elvis did mess around with bass though. One he owned is still displayed leaning against his couch in Graceland. It was much much nicer than the 80's kramer she tried to sell you though.
I would have said "Sorry mam Elvis has left the building".
Suspicious Minds 🇬🇧🏴 Thank you very much
Maybe her dad just told tall tales (and she obviously knows nothing about guitars). I'm not convinced she was trying to scam you. She took the guitars home as if she still thought there was a chance one belonged to Elvis.
I hate to say it, but I think I'm with you on this one. There are sooo many people out there who know nothing of context, timelines and maybe just aren't the brightest. Her dad may have totally spun such a story, ran with it, and the kids heard it over and over, all their lives. I don't think if SHE were scamming she would have had details like the whole recording/jamming set up in a living room (which people do) with 'reel-to-reel' tape machine. That was a pretty good detail. It was there and there weren't a bunch of other details thrown in...which would have been waaay more suspicious. I think this is just a case of what Pete said: "don't trust anybody"...so they must be lying. I think they may just be misguided and naive.
Such lies,,,,,they are all scammers. They aren't responsible for dad's bills, they are selling his stuff and splitting the money. That's why they keep checking with each other.
I like the part where the girl said it sounded nice, and then mimicked a high pitched guitar rift... even though it's a bass.
- Now that I think of it the Senfield theme would be very appropriate for this video. Not only is this a comically bad scam, but it's played on a bass.
It's actually a synth, the Seinfeld theme
1st, Elvis played bass guitar around the house regularly enough for him to be playing a Fender Precision when the Beatles visited him. 2nd, The Shredder Bass (That obviously isn't Elvis's and I wonder how much she sold that one for, if it was true..) is worth more than the Squire.. There's a market for 80s beginner guitars now everyone's a 'luthier' with time on their hands ;)
3rd.. I want to see more musical instruments!!
Great channel btw.
She’s all shook up!! Ah haaaaaa.
And ain't nothin but a hound dog.
I have a pair of used "depends" from Vernon Presley (Elvis' dad) from the late 50s!!!... I'm looking to get at least $$13,000 for them!!! A little crappy but in pretty good condition otherwise than the corn and peanuts!!!
Would you take $9,000.00 and Napoleon's hat?
@@barryhernandez6428 I tell you what Mr. Barry, I'll take President Biden's "used" depends & President Bush's "fake" missiles!! for the awsome price of a value meal @McDonald's!!
her finger tapping is driving me crazy.
Same
And her uh sound
is that some kind of drug addict move where she kept petting everything like it was a cat.
If my family ends up selling all my stuff asap after I die I'm haunting all of them..
What kind of a world do we live in where we can't even trust a stranger's word that Elvis Presley gave them the guitar they're trying to pawn instead of auction?
No I'D and no idea. But at least she gave a Pit good title for the video, should make him a few honey's
