    Pro-tip: If you're going to try to sell stolen merchandise to a pawn shop, don't dress in the same outfit you used to commit the smash and grab the night before. Bro walking in there dressed all in black like the cat burglar. All he was missing was the balaclava and gloves.

    A good friend of mine had several guitars and amps stolen. A couple of days later, the perps tried to sell it all at Guitar Center, where the gear had been purchased. The store called my friend to ask about it, he told them it was stolen, they called the cops and delayed the perps till the cops got there. Must have been fun to watch.

      People think they can get what they paid for something. If you're at a pawnshop probably shouldn't have bought the thing you're trying to pawn anyway. People have issues with always spending more than they take in those are the ones down at the pawnshop. Friends' cousin like this he always broke his mother died left him 10 million a 40-acre ranch about 5 years ago. You would think with that much at age 40 he just retire and live off the interest. What did he do buy bunch of new vehicles, race car, boat, Trips around the world for months. In 5 years ran through all the money the ranch is up forsale for $1.2 million. No matter if he had $100 a week or million was always broke.

    I like honest pawn shop owners. My mom sold all my stuff after she threw me out, my dad got a call from one of the pawn shops he visits a lot, basically told my dad "Hey...I don't know how to tell you this, but I got your kids stuff. I bought it for a low ball offer, so you can come get it." My mom had been delaying letting me come get my stuff, stuff my dad had bought for me, stuff for school or things I bought myself and we finally knew why. They knew we'd been having issues getting my stuff back and they knew my mother. They took a loss to help us. She had the audacity to actually be mad at me and act like I was in the wrong for demanding to know what right she had to sell things she didn't buy. When she went back to try and sell things she HAD bought, even her own stuff that pawn shop owner refused to do business with her. He said he knew she was heartless, but he never imagined how right my dad and I were. We've since paid him back because we're in a better financial state, but it is something I'll always remember, so if I have something to sell I wont do business with any other pawn shop. They didn't have to do that. They didn't have to even give me my things back, they could have charged for it, they could have not even told us about it. There was no way to prove she had stolen that stuff because I was 15. They went out of their way to do a good thing and I love them for it.

      The problem is when you get older, you're the last one in a family line what do you do with the stuff you have. I never had kids not that kids even care about your parents, or their parent's lot of them have their own things they don't want all this stuff. I think about all my father's pictures he had of himself and my grandparents. All their things what happens to it when you die gets thrown in the trash. My grandfather was an artist going back the 1930's. He did lot of painting in the 1980's also none of it is worth anything what do I do with it? Even the older stuff there is one art gallery who he used to sell his things at maybe they take a few of his paintings they won't pay me for them. They already have lot from when he was alive haven't sold, he passed in 2005 at age of 95. When I get closer to my 70's going to just get rid of everything don't want bunch of stuff left behind. Rather liquidate it and donate the money to an animal rescue.

      Beautiful lamp, but Pete's right. These lovely old Bradley Hubbard lamps don't sell for as much as one would think for such a lovely antique.
      20 years ago I bought a large, Victorian era brass hanging lamp that came from an old general store in a small Texas town that had shut down in the 1950s. There were pics of the lamp hanging in the store circa 1880s, over the heads of shopkeepers sporting handlebar mustaches. This particular store was THE store that my great-grandparents shopped at. It was a day trip by wagon to go there, about 20 miles from their farm.
      My grandfather was one of 12 kids, born in 1882. I loved him and knowing that this same lamp hung over the counter where my ancestors shopped was too cool to pass up. I bought it on eBay for $175 including shipping. It was sent by Greyhound bus and it arrived in perfect condition thanks to the very careful seller.

Your story is lovely and evokes a certain nostalgia for me as I have been in several old towns that still operate a general store. St. Elmo in Colorado is one such place that is more of a novelty now, but they keep the town as it would have been. I can see the handlebars milling around in my minds eye with these light fixtures above and the wooden shelves and glass cases. I am really glad that you were able to hold onto one of the very items that holds the memory of your family history. Incredible, thank you for sharing.

    I learned my lesson on stamp collecting when I took the collection I had done as a kid to a dealer and tried to sell it. I didn't have anything rare or valuable, but a lot of stuff from the 1920's up. He offered me less than face value for everything. I laughed at him and told him the Post Office will give me face value for them. Then, I went and sold them to the Post Office up the street. Stamps are a waste of money unless you're willing to do a lot of research and spend some big bucks.

    Peter and everyone - My Uncle got me into STAMP collection a long time ago and thought that having a good Stamp collection would be worth something in the future. I went into a Coin/Stamp shop several years back and asked how much my Plate Block collections would be worth and found out they are NOT WORTH collecting/investing anymore.
    He wasn't even taking any collections anymore and said that I might as well use them for postage stamps. So I stopped wasting my money on getting anymore stamps for my collections. I have them all stored away in books in containers.
    Note: a minted plate block stamp is a block of unused fresh stamps and has an associated plate block number which is supposed to make them more expensive than just a single stamp.
    So people, DO NOT get into collecting stamps - it is not worth the effort - unless you just want to see all the pretty artworks on the stamps and learn historical information on each stamp through the years.

      I collected stamps when I was a kid ( 1960's ) and had a pretty good collection. Plate blocks and plates with Mr. Zip, etc. In the late 80's I was struggling to make ends meet
      and decided to sell. I calculated the face value of all the unused stamps and took them to the coin shop. He would not even give me face value - so I ended up using them on
      my regular mail envelopes. Some of the stamps went back to WWII - so some of my envelopes had five or six stamps to make the correct postage.

I loved all the different shapes, the languages, the pictures. We asked dad about the countries they came from and where in the world those countries were. I still have an album somewhere.
      I don't think I have ever bought something with a coldly cynical view of what I can sell them for sometime down the line, not even the house I live in.

    Seeing the cat and the Bunny together reminded me of this story: Back in the 70's I lived in Colorado and had a bunny that lived in an enclosed outside 8 x 10 deck out my bedroom slider door. I had a hutch for him to go in at night and keep warm, but he loved running around all day in that enclosed space. One time in the Winter we had a big snowstorm over the course of a couple of day and the snow piled up over 2 feet in that space. that bunny loved it and made a ton of borrows all thru it and just stayed in there, I didn't see him for a few days so I was worried and cut into the main living area of his borrow. There he was curled up snug as a bug with the neighborhood cat. I could not believe it. It was a sight to see. LoL ( I always use that brown paper water activated tape for shipping my stuff. )

    Hey dude! New viewer and I shouted HEY! When you said you’re originally from Poland! 🇵🇱 I’m born and raised in Poland myself but moved to London/UK almost 20 years ago at age of 18. I kinda had a feeling you might have some Polish roots or be from the Motherland 👀 Pozdrawiam serdecznie i będę oglądać! 🫶
