this guy was amazing. I used to see him near my office in Manhattan. One day he would sell vegetable peelers, the next day it would be children's books. It was always the same reaction. he would draw a huge crowd and then people would just start buying. I saw a short news story about his life on CBS. He was actually quite well off financially, living in a beautiful place near Park Ave (and help paying for his children / grand children's college educations). He always worked for himself selling items on the street, for decades.
That's really interesting, I didn't know he also sold books. I saw him around for years, used to love watching him, but only ever saw him selling the peelers. Really wish I'd bought one now.
He was a sales legend in nyc.. He never had a vendor's license. The cops never bothered him. He was always on the ground, no table.. He had his sales pitch memorized.. He was the best salesman i ever saw...
Kwame Ankrah Cops NEED to leave people like him alone. Good on them. This sounds like England though and considering the current climate I wonder if he could pull this off today.
I disagree. He was selling a good product. Yes, his selling skills were amazing, however even he admitted himself that it all goes down to the product. He would not last selling a cheep Chinese crap even with the same selling method. The combination of both is a key: personality and product.

Joseph "Joe" Ades (/ˈɑːdɛs/; 18 December 1934 - 1 February 2009), also known as the "Gentleman Peeler," was a well-known street potato peeler seller in New York City, United States. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Ades
I would have bought one off him on the spot! At 5 bucks for a potentially great peeler, add to it his hustle: That's a peeler I'd buy! And speaking from experience: All the peelers I ever owned were rusty old "heirlooms" or weird ceramic ones that don't work right. Anybody got a link to that peeler?
Retxed yup. This was 2007. I remember the first HD TVs and stuff came up in 2006 (or 2005) and you were the king if you had one at home. Maybe it was even earlier I can't remember.
I really love the older generation of people how honest, diligent and hard working they were. Real role models. Never dependent on anyone for their livelihood, not even their kids.
It's amazing how yt has recommended one of your videos to me few days ago (which I didn't watch then) and how I stumbled upon your comment on some random video I've watched now.
@@rustinpeace770 your eyes see more width than height and wider rectangles are generally more aesthetically pleasing. Just look at Greek architecture. Also, you can generally fit more information in if it's horizontal.
Kieran Rogers A salesman is not there to entertain. His product being pushed is why he is there, If his sales pitch is boring so shall his sales be. But a true sales person is an entertainer because to get people to buy your product they have to buy you.. And for them to buy into you you have to believe in your product. This man stood by his product and from what i can see it is worth every penny.. Hell i want one now.. My peeler sucks. I have the one from the .99 cents store.
I worked in a restaurant 12 years ago right off union square. He would come in periodically for dinner with his daughter. Hi s natural speaking voice didn't exist. He was perpetually horse. When I heard he passed, I remembered what an iconic figure he was, he screamed all day until he had no voice .

I'd buy the 5 for £20. He said one lasts a lifetime, I just got an excellent peeler for me, my son, my son's son, my son's son's son and my son's son's son's son and all of that for 20 fuckin' pounds. Bloody hell that's a bargain and a half!
this gentleman is a part of a small number of site sales pros always loved to watch theses guys working always talking , demonstratng in one fluid motion a real pro
@reece ..I think the whole point is that it doesn't come down to whether the product you're selling is shit or not, but the way in which you're selling it and your goal is to just sell - if it sucks, well your loss, but the seller did his job by convincing you. The best salesman in the world can sell bags of fresh air to people in China when in truth, it could just be hoax but how would they know that? It comes down to how the seller draws people in and how he sells the product, that's the art of good salesmanship.
I remember this gentleman all so well. He really did sell the best machine as he called it. I bought one from him over 10 years ago, and it still works perfectly! I’ve bought other peelers, and none of them are as good or as versatile as his. Whenever I return home to New York and go to the Union Square Market on Saturdays, his presence is truly missed. RIP Joe!
I remember him, I also remember the Police harassing him on multiple occasions. He’s been arrested for selling peelers. He was a good man just making an honest living.
Kabali Kahn I knew him as a salesman in UnionSquare. He was out every time they had the farmers market. I’ve watched him sell and also watched him get arrested by NYPD in handcuffs. He was retired and did this to supplement his income.
Late reply here, but just saw this. I used to see him all over Manhattan for years. That accent and voice can be heard blocks away, and I would know it was him. What memories. RIP!
It was great! I lived in Manhattan for over 20 years from when I was 17. Nothing like NYC, city that never sleeps. I learned everything, good and bad from this great city. :) I'm traveling all over Asia now but will return back to where my heart is :) NYC - Have a good one!
@@AuH2O the worst part is I bet they got the material in China lmao that's how it is in the states even the "American" companies are getting stuff from China😂😂
A generation of men and women who have known the war, the scarcity and hungry children waiting at home! They are not proud they don’t place ego above everything! They are just hard working people, happy and grateful with what they have.
A true inspiration, he is a honest hard working old man who believes in his product. Can you imagine being his age sitting on a stool 8 or 9 hours a day 6 days a week peeling carrots & potatoes. Unbelievable and I bet sadly missed by his daughter & grand daughter. He earned every penny honestly with hard work.
I bought one of those peelers at the Home Exhibition in Earls Court in 1972 and I'm still using it today. Best piece of kitchen equipment I have ever bought.
Pakalu Papito I don't expect you to know that, seeing how moronic you are, just hoped that it would discourage you from commenting, and insulting others when you don't bother to even do any extra research before hand. Guess it didnt work :(
He came from Cheetham Hill, Manchester. England originally. His nickname was Joe the Kid, a great worker and not just on the street. I'm also from Manchester and worked with him 50 years ago, including in Australia. In those days in England there was lots of top grafters like him and we travelled all over. We were young and it was a great life we got lots of money and saw plenty. This is the first time I've seen him in years, so sorry to hear he died. By the way. he did earn millions but could never keep it because he was a lunatic gambler. RIP Joe
same mate worked sydnety with joe and hes crew sad to hear hes passing I didn't know till now,, had the pleasure of being one of those boys,,we learned- travelled -ate the best , had many woman and got pissed a lot,, he was a charming man and always liked hes company- everyone did,, Hollywood george is my brother ,, I remember joe seling gold jewrly 4 chains for 10 bucks,, told them it was real gold said if you believe your getting 4 gold chains then you deserve this,, had a lovely patter ,, always dressed in suit and tie, he kept to self a lot but was a pleasure to know him !!! BLESS YOU JOE,, LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA CHAD SEAL !! I use my name as respect to joe !!
I just seee that you are further from the center on the political compass than Iam, but in the same field. How did you answer the question about the regulation of the market?

henry lotus we've all lost someone along the way...
Can't believe I I just spent 4 mins and 13 secs of my life watching a man peel vegetables...
that's nothing.... I just spent three minutes watching a man bumb himself.... what has youtube made us become?
the goat peeler tho
I used to love seeing this guy at Union Square.
Rip
What if the peeler actually sucks but he's just a really talented peeler
Reece 3.1415 thats why he made test someone in the video
I have a peeler like that. I'm telling you it's fire
Yeah I know the peeler is fire I was just joking
@reece ..I think the whole point is that it doesn't come down to whether the product you're selling is shit or not, but the way in which you're selling it and your goal is to just sell - if it sucks, well your loss, but the seller did his job by convincing you.
The best salesman in the world can sell bags of fresh air to people in China when in truth, it could just be hoax but how would they know that? It comes down to how the seller draws people in and how he sells the product, that's the art of good salesmanship.
Yeah, he was probably in the navy. The peelers don't look special.
He could sell drugs to the police
Loooool
Plot twist..
He's a copper selling drugs to kids!!
Raza Kampono lol
Dude could sell cops to cops
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😝😝😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rip , you will always be remembered as the best salesman that has ever lived .
I remember this gentleman all so well. He really did sell the best machine as he called it. I bought one from him over 10 years ago, and it still works perfectly! I’ve bought other peelers, and none of them are as good or as versatile as his. Whenever I return home to New York and go to the Union Square Market on Saturdays, his presence is truly missed. RIP Joe!
I am throwing money on the screen but it isnt working...
I remember him, I also remember the Police harassing him on multiple occasions. He’s been arrested for selling peelers. He was a good man just making an honest living.
Do u knw him?
Kabali Kahn I knew him as a salesman in UnionSquare. He was out every time they had the farmers market. I’ve watched him sell and also watched him get arrested by NYPD in handcuffs. He was retired and did this to supplement his income.
Bt he is an old man...and well sales man also.i really appreciate for him.now a days its hard to see like this😃
hes dead since 2009 lmao
@rzomg, some are not.
But, yeah. There is police that playing around rules and not get their punishment (as in rules).
This guy can sell us air, and we will buy it. Five intake for twenty dollars.
There's actually someone who did that. They sold aluminum cans with clean air to people in big, polluted, Chinese cities.
MASSIVE respect to this man
Well we're all fucking glad YOU respect him, Hifza. That's all that matters.
same goes for you
Hifza ahmed these children have literally got nothing better to do. Where are their mothers smdh
Fistme daddy
Ok UA-cam, I watched it finally. are you happy now?
NO.
LOL that's comical.
UA-cam will demand that you watch it again I am sure.
ThunderLips same thing kept happening to me too!!!
Amen brother, we're part of the system now.
He is not talking like a salesman, he is talking like he is a lecturer and we are students.
Ashish Rana yes... I wish I could buy him
DroidTech yeah. I'd still buy him.
This guys literally sitting out side the gates of heaven selling these to ppl waiting inline
You buy good, you don't buy cheap.
You buy what you can afford, you steal what you can't. Stealing isn't wrong, them suits do it all the time.
i second that, you buy good you don't buy cheap. if you can't afford it you wait until you can or go without.
Suvi-Tuuli Allan Scumbag.

This guy can sell water to a goddamn fish!!

Fish need water to live. So that's an easy thing to do
Jane is this not life?

friedchicken banana trees don’t talk.
yes, but they buy. oh yes, they buy
@@TraumaER do you need to talk to buy things?
Griffin GFX No
There are no such things as banana trees
This is who what we call him in our culture " sells sand in the desert" , R.I.P sir
Late reply here, but just saw this. I used to see him all over Manhattan for years. That accent and voice can be heard blocks away, and I would know it was him. What memories. RIP!
Interesting!
How was it/is it to live there?
It was great! I lived in Manhattan for over 20 years from when I was 17. Nothing like NYC, city that never sleeps. I learned everything, good and bad from this great city. :) I'm traveling all over Asia now but will return back to where my heart is :) NYC - Have a good one!
Thanks for answering!
Hope you're having great time!
" IT'S NOT MADE IN CHINA "
That alone is worth $5
Ok don’t say more, I buy five

@@AuH2O the worst part is I bet they got the material in China lmao that's how it is in the states even the "American" companies are getting stuff from China😂😂
@@xximbecile you smell like shit!
this guy could sell a square wave to a synthesizer
Could sell chuck norris something chuck norris won't know he needed
Most people dont even know HOW legendary this guy is in sales.... and you could just watch him... a true genius at work...
A generation of men and women who have known the war, the scarcity and hungry children waiting at home! They are not proud they don’t place ego above everything! They are just hard working people, happy and grateful with what they have.
Sarath John
Absolutely!

He was a dirty gambler.
I'd be happy peddling on the street too if i was living off of my dead wifes millions.
The older generations innocent? That's a laugh. Innocence died on humanity's first full day of existence.
Rest In Peace :(
Just Nick nooo, hes dead?
@@0xygen34 Unfortunately Yes :(
@Baked Potato Read Des
@Baked Potato You're Welcome :)
RIP, sir
If I was there I would've bought one. He had an honest life.
A true inspiration, he is a honest hard working old man who believes in his product. Can you imagine being his age sitting on a stool 8 or 9 hours a day 6 days a week peeling carrots & potatoes. Unbelievable and I bet sadly missed by his daughter & grand daughter. He earned every penny honestly with hard work.
I bought one of those peelers at the Home Exhibition in Earls Court in 1972 and I'm still using it today. Best piece of kitchen equipment I have ever bought.
Craig List who are you Fanny Craddock
God bless that man.
Tijs Van Esch echt he
Tijs Van Esch wat een legend
I don’t need this but now I want it
This guy can make a 9 year old sub to T series.
He could, but he's a good human being unlike all of T-Series
"You can't buy them at the stores. They are made in Switzerland. They are not made in China."
This guy is a fucking savage
Kiyomaro Takamine
I caught that, real boss!
I would like to meet him & pick his brain!
Agree2Disagree
Literally? He's been dead for 8 years now.
Kiyomaro Takamine Fun fact: We really have these in Switzerland and i thought this is a Common Kitchen tool.
same with germany, i never knew this isnt a common thing
definitely made in china
He's an English man in New York
Pakalu Papito That was a reference to Sting's 'Legal Alien', idiot.
Pakalu Papito I don't expect you to know that, seeing how moronic you are, just hoped that it would discourage you from commenting, and insulting others when you don't bother to even do any extra research before hand. Guess it didnt work :(
hahahahaha these comments are savage

He is dead man 😭
@@lulsec are you alive?
@@CJerome01 yes
They're actually good quality.
this is in my recommended 🥺 who’s watching august 2020? RIP 🙏🏼
He came from Cheetham Hill, Manchester. England originally. His nickname was Joe the Kid, a great worker and not just on the street. I'm also from Manchester and worked with him 50 years ago, including in Australia. In those days in England there was lots of top grafters like him and we travelled all over. We were young and it was a great life we got lots of money and saw plenty. This is the first time I've seen him in years, so sorry to hear he died. By the way. he did earn millions but could never keep it because he was a lunatic gambler. RIP Joe

I just seee that you are further from the center on the political compass than Iam, but in the same field.
How did you answer the question about the regulation of the market?
ABW941 A big reason why I'm there on the political compass is because I consider religion to be completely irrelevant and think large businesses need regulations in a realistic society.
holy shit i feel old
and im only 15
Guys got people stopping in the middle of the road to watch something they've seen since they were a baby..
