The Heartbreaking Effects of 2023 Inflation and Recession on Real People 

Send him some money

I think at this point we're all pretty much broke -.- @@crazytrucker2376

@@MarkK01why are you here watching than?

Bidenflation killing me. $4 gas. Food 100-200% higher. Meanwhile 11 million “immigrants” get new smart phones, $300 a week on a debit card. Free housing. Free medical. Free food. I miss mean tweets and $1.75 gas

thank everyone who voted for Biden.

yes he was, too bad Biden made his life a living hell by selling us to China and Ukraine for top pay and sending billions of our money instead of helping veterans like this gentleman. Sad reality. Trump term there was no inflation. Call him what you want he made America great bro.

Thank goodness I wasn't there, I would have bought all of those instruments. I am looking for a mandolin and digital keyboard at this time. I am not cut out for selling stuff. I had a van, this was a couple weeks ago and used car guy said he would pay $6500, it sells for $13000. I found a family of 7, 4 kids long term foster care, sold it for $6k. To be honest that was so my wife wouldn't kill me. I give away cars and guitars.

lmao the way he laughed uhehehehe. I felt bad too.

@anitamiller7960 yeah, it's incredibly tragic to see how so many normal down-to-earth people have been misled by the greatest criminal in american history :(

dude has two cel phones in his pocket slinging his grandpas war medals from his will wow

Not really pieces of paper though. Or you think everything should be provided for free. Do you by any chance work for free?

we will remain economic slaves until the brainless sheeple realize the constitution is still supreme law of the land, which grants us (tax payers) the power to kick out this treasonous and criminal government along with their puppet master bankers

he was trading trinkets for the cost of living. BIG difference.

@@itsneight1260 I wouldn't call a whole studio work of instruments "trinkets". What the guy is saying is that nobody should have to give up their passion and valuable (sentimental or material) belongings just to stay afloat

@@bakielh229 Nobody was giving up their passion or valuable belongings in this video. The guy could've brought in a single instrument and gotten the money he needed, but he didn't, he cleared out his basement of the cheap stuff.

How about if he gets a job?

@@bretmoleta1860 How about that you don't know the first thing about this guy--or his circumstances.

@@bretmoleta1860 Wow. You’re the reason people are ashamed to ask for help when they hit a rough patch. Go eat a piece of humble pie.

@@bretmoleta1860 Wow, I bet he never thought of that.

Bret! How bout you get a heart😢

Don't feel bad, he's selling the mid tier & lower tier parts of his collections. Any musician knows this is a good show he put on. He may be having a hard time but ask if he;s got a Martin and he'll say : Hell no Im not selling that. The most impressive instrument he had was just ignored .

@@winnipegwhatever terrible rhetoric, those were probably some of his favorite possessions. He was enthusiastic and very understanding, a few traits that humans rarely have nowadays.

@@adammatthews4054 I'm coming from a very understanding position and also from one where I used to work at a pawn shop and currently a musician. I have pretty good sense of humanity and wasn't going after that angle. They are both nice cool guys, especially Peter. What I'm saying guy says he JUST watched his videos yesterday and pretty much sensed he'd be able to get money from Pete over other places that would have PASSED on everything or low balled. No items he bought are fast turn around. If he had a Fender '67 Mustang come out of that case....he'd have gotten about 2,000-3,000. Fixed all his bills in one shot. Perspective is all. He says he's not selling "the sentimental or good shit" without saying this ain't my good shit. Peter is also know with his vidjo's to have super heavy heart strings that can be pulled to gain a bit of leverage. My rhetoric wasn't trying to be foul but maybe came across as that when I said "he put on a good show". ....There's a reason they call that back and forth negotiating a dance. It's a bit of a show like we just watched.

He should have started a youtube channel playing his instruments and made even more money! 🤑💰💸

nah, that wasn't his good stuff. he said that was his stuff he doesn't use. did you notice all the guitar cases he wanted back?

Maybe he shouldn't have loaded his basement with junk

People are buying, I sell on eBay and have like 4K sales this year doing it very part time

@@burntdice2810 no

Yeah I have the same feeling, maybe one day.

Channel makes me want to deal with other humans even less

Same here but he makes it look so easy while in reality you gotta have a good eye and lots of time to find the right stuff to buy and resell

it's prophetic and nothing we can do about it now.. people were sleepy the last 60 years - they let everything go out of apathy, comfort and now comes the fear.

"American Pickers" would call that rusty gold.

@@ilj1259 unfortunately they faded to nothing can’t even read them anymore.

there were so many itemsand good lookinginstruments. i wonder is each were evaluated teh total worth of them all

at least there are no more mean tweets

The guy thought Pearl Harbor was in 45…. Obviously it didn’t mean much to him

@@BabyDoIIxcmonnnn he was only 4 years late.

The high cost of living is not happening for "no reason".

He just wanted to be on the RU-vid channel.

It takes time and it's a hassle to sell on those platforms. That's why you pay for the convenience of a store like Pete's

Because they typically need the cash THAT day! If they had the time, I’m sure they would!

dude thinks we're gonna be in a recession. it's been a recession for a long time now lmao

A lot of people in his shoes would hate the world knowing his family served this country only for it to be driven in the ground by this administration. I truly believe he is a good man. It’s very impressive how happy go lucky he has remained.

@@soulcut5736not more than they would hate Trump. The man who puts down veterans and wants to take even more of their services and rights away. You can also blame Trump for the economy, he screwed us over so bad we’re still trying to dig out of the mess he made. DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN OR YOU PEOPLE WILL KILL US!!

Right under your administration Peter would still be in Poland just remember hypocrite .

He wouldn’t keep quiet for a second, I’m like bro chill
