elvis316 He also lost about 600 on it in that space of time and may have spent a long time saving for it. He was really attached and choked at the fact he had to sell it but not to the extent where he was delusional on the buyer having to have some room to make a profit. Feel for the guy
I would have gave him that $400 and taken that to the house. I bet thats a big problem with running a business like that. All of a sudden you need a Les Paul.
The accordion guy was actually a great person. Knew exactly how much he was going to get for it and was an excellent forthcoming musician *mad respect*
CanadianGarage Congratulations. Pete has some of the best content in this space. He's a huge inspiration for all of us. Most of the content creators sell in specific niches I like Pete because he sells all kinds of stuff and has a store. Something I aspire to do someday.
Yeah he said he played in the restaurants four nights a week with it so you know he was attached to it but as a musician i can guarantee you he has more than just the one he sold lol

Very nice of you to give that man $150 for his accordion. His kids would probably donate it to Goodwill when he passes, he is right. Always see them there!
megs buy443 : Same here! I played the accordion as a kid. I remember my father bringing home one that was almost as big as me with tons of buttons! It was a monster!
Vicky was so cute, looked a little embarrassed she got a gift, she deserves one! Funny, she was looking for chocolate! The old gent with the accordion, so sweet, kind of sad. Knowing family will just dump his treasures, maybe there’s hope if they see this, see his things are worth sentimental and monetary value so someone else can enjoy! (If he comes back, maybe hint at that?) I’m trying so hard to not let that happen with my mothers things, but the vultures have already started their trade against me... family drama sucks it! Does Ruby love Milo? Or want to be/ thinks she’s a kitty? Love them both! 😘🦇⚡️Jet
You guys obviously dont know how a business works. It isnt a charity. If you start feeling bad for people you’ll get burnt. Remember these guys are trying to get the best price possible just like you are, and you cant trust everyone. Trade is always equal, he didnt force him to pay $400.
I love the accordion guy. Reminded me of my late father who loved to play accordion among many other instruments, and those two tunes were among those he played as well.
Ahhhh. That's tough for both guys. Guitars prices are all over the place unless you've got something really rare. Beautiful Les Paul, but there's so many out there. That was a little lowball but yeah, trying to sell online involves lots of fees, shipping, etc. The owner could try on his own but like he said, all the running around, haggling, he's not gonna get much more
This has always been my dream job! Would LOVE to open up a pawn shop! I have always since I was a kid, loved going to fle markets and pawn shops to find something way more cool then you can buy at Walmart lol. I'm 31 and think I'm finally going to look into it since I have to find a new job/a fresh start in life.
If what is put out online is true, bricks and mortar shops are fading out. There are people who prefer a hands-on approach to buying things, so still prefer shops, but as younger generations come along who spend a large portion of their day on their smartphone, buying (or selling) online will be the norm for them, and the idea of walking around shops, sometimes not finding what you are looking for, will seem a bit weird. So...(although you probably already know this), set up your pawn shop online. Start today.
Forgive me if this has been asked and answered already, but unless it's a massive package - why take your packages to the PO rather than schedule a pickup? I usually have less than 15/day so maybe there is a limit I don't know about. Thanks
When you are in a pawn shop, it doesn't take skill to negotiate. People are there because they are desperate for money. If they want to much then you just tell them no thanks
He keeps saying it's brand new, BUT he also said he played it for a few hours. His definition of brand new would more accurately be described as slightly used. Plus, it's a model behind.
Hi, those mustard colored plates that are behind that globe you showed... what is the brand? And how much for the set? Hope this post is allowed. Thanks..
Love the videos!!! I Like how lil by lil we are seeing more of Adrian and vikki / getting to know them. Side note - I feel like Adrian doesn't like being on camera , which is normal lol but he's warming up to it . Then I was thinking its because he's like a total badass who is like on witness protection and he doesn't want to be found. But it's been like 30 yrs and he thinks it's ok, but then someone sees and shows up and a gun fight ensues like Viggo in a history of violence. In all the chaos they kill ruby / Adrian goes Jon Wick Style!!!
you can tell he takes his job seriously as a business owner and the other two just joke around a little bit when they're wrong the man always carries the baggage🙉
It's kind of sad watching the gentleman selling a guitar because his rent is due and a job fell through. So why would buy a $1000 anything? People have priorities all backwards.
Hi Pete: dont know how long ago this was made however does the USPS have the PICK UP SERVICE? They do here in New Jersey. Just a thought since you are always helping others. I gave it a shot
Hey Peter ! Would love to send you guys something. Need to know what era music everyone likes ? I️ know you like the 70’s what about the rest of the crew? Let me know and I’ll get it out to you !!
Some here wrote doubts about the guitar seller. After reading some, like the commenter who noticed that the plastic wrap was still on the strap, and no tell tale signs of playing it. He was hard up for cash, but doubt that he bonded with the guitar.
As a guitarist, this kills you, you work, hard learn guitar, finally save up get the one you always wanted, play it and you feel like a rock star, then hard times hit and you sale, been there done that and it sucks bad.
Ebay fee is 3.5 percent for musical instruments plus paypal fee of 2.9 percent plus 75 cents. You were very fair with the $400 offer, I have seen those Tribute models sell for around $550 used on ebay a few times.
Joy Cool not really. Low balling means going less than 1/4 of actual market value. Pete's got to make money too. Remember that when he sells it for 700, BEFORE shipping, he's at 609... $91 in fees. And that's with free shipping. And something like this needs to be insured, signature confirmation, etc. He's close to 550 or even less with shipping. Making ~$120 on a $700 might sound great but that's a lot of $$ to tie up for such low return.
I just subscribed. This is my second video to watch, after first watching the 'scammer lady video', with the fake Movado. Looked up your shop in Crystal Lake on Google Maps. So...like I said...I just subscribed, (interesting content), but please tell me, you are not a Chicago Cubs fan. I bet you are. Lol. Keep up the videos...true reality programs...like they should be, on TV. 👍☀️👍
