They are just internet trolls. Worst thing you can do is engage them. You have a great channel and it’s obvious that your a fair guy and great to your animals. Thanks Pete
dang did the troll reply to you on this comment? It says 1 reply and there is no reply tho. people like this are just having a bad life and take it out on others success. believe me I used to be rude to people on youtube myself years ago. I dont have a great life but I realized what I was doing and stopped being rude. I hope the guy can get help and realize he is just using his pain to give others pain for no reason.
I don't know if it's just trolls. Trolls are people who don't necessarily believe what they say, but just like to cause trouble. While i would never do the things he says people emailed him about, i can at least understand people being upset. As a reseller who specializes in video games, his employee had to know that those games had some value. Even if the sealed games were only worth $30 each, giving the seller only $50 for EVERYTHING was way too low, and i think, dishonest. I know, some will say that that was what the seller asked for, so it's morally right. My morality is different, i guess. I would have made a guess at the true value (maybe look a couple games up on ebay for reference), then offered him 50% of that number. So, no, of course he should not have gotten death threats and hate. But i think criticism is fair. Would he have decided to give the original seller a cut of the larger profits, had he not gotten all the hate? I have no idea. Probably not, since he edited and posted the original video, thinking the behavior in it was ok. In other videos, i've seen him being honest though, so maybe. The point is, his employee really did screw that seller.
Ofcourse it was i agree, $50 was robbing the seller blind, fact. People with good morals naturally are gonna be fuming with that and rightly so.@@trekkiejunk
Hey Pete, it sucks you have to deal with that stuff. I haven't been watching you all that long but ever since I have I always felt you were honest and upfront with people, that's what made me continue to watch. You seem like a really honest and upfront guy, hope things get better.
The problem with internet hate is that the small bits of hate will always overshadow the large amounts of love poured in. I would hope most people feel you are a genuine & caring person because you've proven it over and over again.
The problem with blaming others and not taking responsibility for your own actions is lack of personsal growth. He is taking a shot to the wallet and his business model is being tarnished. Blaming "haters" and "trolls" will get him nowhere.
@@josephdoiron8376 Did you even watch the video? He isn't blaming haters, he's bringing them up. I guess troll can just attack someone and the person being hated on can't even bring up the haters. Nah man..
We love you Pete!!! Me and my girlfriend love to wind down and relax together after a long day while watching you on our television! You provide free entertainment to so many people, while running a full-time business, an ebay, a website, etc... I know it's not easy but try to ignore all the haters. The vast majority of viewers love your channel and your content. It's just a vocal minority that love to speak up and complain about anything they can. We have definitely missed your videos the last few days, and I hope things can go back to normal soon. But take as much time as you need, your mental well-being is more important. Thanks for all the years of enjoyment and entertainment Pete!
Pete, during covid, it was difficult times for many of us and it was always, ALWAYS great to watch your videos to uplift the spirit. Keep doing what you do
As a small business owner for over 25 years, I always thought you paid too much for items. Non business people don't truly understand the costs associated with running any business. You seem to go out of your way to help sellers get something for their items. Your honest dealings are beyond reproach. God Bless You!
Pete, we know pawn shops typically only offer 10-30% of retail value, you typically offer 40-50%. We also know you are a business, not a charity. You also take risk, electronics can fail, items could be counterfeit, etc. Any hate is usually coming from young, ignorant people who don't know business. 99% of your viewers, like me, got your back 🙂
@@wisdomveritas6281 how long were you upset about the confusion? Enough to enlist CAPS LOCK KEY, huh? Just chock full of wiz-dumb eh? Thanks for the giggles Friend
I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago and your honest “wheeling & dealings” with the characters that come into the shop just makes my day and all the animals are precious and judging by your interaction with everything around you including your staff, I can tell you are such a great guy and that is the main reason I watch the channel. Hope you are feeling better!
I just started watching in the last week or so and I have been “catching up” as much as I can. I keep watching because it is the most authentic, genuine channel I have seen. It breaks my heart that you had such an awful experience and I completely understand your shock and concern after this type of personal attack. I am so sorry this happened to you and I pray that you are able to put this behind you and continue with the great videos that I’ve been watching. I so completely and thoroughly enjoy watching because it’s so real. Your channel is the most REAL I have seen. (I mean even the Iranian Nomads are putting fake drama in their videos) when people, me at least, want to see authenticity and genuine real life. Some people just have too much anger. Don’t let them change you. You were doing nothing wrong before so please do not feel you need to change anything now. Such anger filled people should be ignored. ( nothing will bother them more)👍😊
You’re a good guy Pete and shouldn’t feel bad. You make a lot of deals and pay fair prices. There’s Thousands who enjoy your content all about you, your store, the team and of course the animals. I do hope the comments of the minority doesn’t put you off too much as your videos are a joy and they would be missed.
@@Larry-zt8sk did all you asshats complaining that Pete's such a bad person write letters to pawn stars every week cause they made oh so much money?? Also what's everyone's jobs? How much do you make? Let all of us judge if you deserve what you make. Then send you and your family threats and force you into giving your boss some of your paycheck back... that sounds pretty ignorant doesn't it??
Pete you don’t need to explain yourself! Any true and loyal viewer knows exactly who you are. You are a very good guy and there will always be trolls out here. These people literally hate themselves and have no life so they attack others behind a screen. Don’t let it get to you and keep up the good work!
You have always shown to be a genuine, altruistic person. Sadly, you will always get people that are looking to create drama. Pete, your loyal viewers know what you stand for & we appreciate what you're doing. You exemplify what it means to be a family man, caregiver of animals, a business owner & a solid contributor to your community! Please continue your great work & do not get discouraged by a few negative individuals....
I've followed your channel for a few years now and I'm a reseller myself. I've always felt that watching your videos that you're putting yourself out there. Personally I couldn't do it, it's just not my cup of tea. I've always felt you're more than fair with customers. Keep up what you're doing and try not to let hate get you down. That's only giving the hater more power over you.
Pete, we love your channel and watching what you do. Unfortunately, there are people out there that have nothing better to do than to give other people a hard time. All I have to say is screw those people. There’s plenty of those out there that love your channel and know you are not out there to screw anyone over and you do the right thing. Let it roll off your shoulder and carry on-we love what you do and know that you are a good man that isn’t out to screw anyone over!
Right! He is not running a charity, sometimes you make a buck, sometimes not. Pete is a classic example of ' Why America is great ' Our DNA is being changed by unreasonable, illogical, hateful, people, with an agenda, a list, just like the communists,1984, our 'brave new world '. Pete is a f......g star, with humanity, politesse, trés sympa. Bisous Pete
Yeah the people attacking him so personally and extremely are fucking psychos. We all know Pete is a good man. Personally I don't see a problem with getting a great deal once in a while.
@@Nightfall4.3 I agree. Especially the idiot who made new accounts just to hate. That person should be found and offered some counseling. If they want it or not. The hate is this world is an epidemic.
As a fellow retail I understand your situation more than you can realize. The fact is there are hateful , mean people out there who only want to cause pain to others. Personally I feel bad for those who live their lives with this kind of hatred in their hearts. Remember there are a lot more of us than there are of them. Please don’t let this overwhelm you because you are bigger and much better than this. We love what you do. The world is a better place with people like you in it. Thanks for sharing. Marty Jax fl.
How do you figure that this person is “hateful” and “only wants to cause pain to others” when his primary concern was the guy getting ripped off? He went about it in a terrible way, but clearly he was upset by what he perceived as someone being taken advantage of. That is antithetical to the type of person you’re describing.
@@dewilew2137 Someone who conducts themselves in that manner, I would sincerely have doubts as to the how genuine their initial intentions are. A lot of SJWs just look for that little tiny pathetic spark to suddenly barrage someone with a bunch of hatred while masquerading as some moral paragon of society. It's all some pathetic attempt to belittle others while making themselves feel better about their own sad lives.
I'm so sorry to hear this! Pete this is just crazy. The haters just want attention. Why are they watching if they hate you so much? People just suck sometimes.
Pete, I rarely comment on videos here, but I have been following your channel for a long time, and have always found you to be a very decent man. I have seen you offer people more than they were asking when the item was worth more. In this instance the seller got his asking price so that should really have been the end of it - as he walked away with what he wanted. There will always be haters, people who hide behind the anonymity of the internet and badmouth others - sometimes just for the heck of it, but occasionally with justification - but I have always found you to be fair and decent, and, at the end of the day, you do have to make a living - and, as they saying goes, "some you win, some you lose"! If the hate mail gets personal you should report it to the authorities, but please keep doing what you are doing, and your loyal followers will continue to enjoy your content. Be strong!
You are a good man that loves his family and pets ❤ Please, don't get discouraged by outrageous people. How else would that kid learn without going out in the world and negotiate with people? Love watching you and Honey ❤
Pete is so transparent that even his drink is see-through. Pete, don't listen to the haters. How many people that sold you junk came back to return some of the money? A deal is a deal, and there's no going back and renegotiating it. You're a great guy Pete! A big hello to you and the gang from California.
Pete, your a business you paid what the customer asked. I see nothing wrong with that. You are a generous man and many times you pay more than I would for items, you have nothing to be ashamed about or be sorry for. The vast majority of us love you, your employees and your channel. Keep up the good work and don't let the haters get you down!
@@dwsweettea63 -- Why is criticism passed off as simply trolls? And "professional trolls?" That would mean they get paid, and who would pay a guy to harass a reseller shop? Nonsense. Those people were vociferous about their opinions, and many took it waaaay too far, but they are not trolls. They were genuinely pissed. And while i think much of their behavior is wrong. i can understand people being upset. We all operate on different moralities. For some, "You paid what the guy asked for," is perfectly moral. It's not for me. I would always want to pay a decent portion of the value, or at least give them a fair assessment of the value, and how much of it i am offering. Whether it's 25% or 50%, i would still want to be upfront about it all. His employee may not have known a game would sell for 1K, but he definitely knew those sealed ones had some decent value. Games are their specialty. And if it's morally justified to you because "that's what they asked for," then good for you. I just wouldn't feel like a good person doing that, without the guy knowing that there is potentially a lot of money in the games.
Omg Peter ! We absolutely love all your videos on UA-cam, I'm a reseller here in Dublin Ireland and people just understand how it actually works .. You and your team are all amazing, please stay strong and continue to make great content ! All our love from Dave & Paula in Dublin, take care ....
Pete, you truly are a great sport and trustworthy guy. I know that someone like you can sleep easy at night knowing that you are MORE than honest, however, it must hurt badly to have others lie and say disgusting things from their dark keyboards. Please do not let the few rotten apples spoil the bunch. Keep up the great work.
That's really sad that someone attacked you personally and said mean things about your family..😮 Pete I certainly hope this doesn't stop you from doing the video's and content you put out..🤔😢 You and the staff are all good people and help people always and have been really good to lots of customers..😍 Keep up your hard work and don't let anyone bring you down.. Take care Pete and guys..👍💕🔥👊
Nothing but good, postitive thoughts about you, your videos, and how you treat your animals, Pete. Honey and Ruby are one of the best parts of your content Keep being you.
Your diehard viewers all know how you handle these situations, with humbling grace and understanding, always making it right with the seller! Keep your heads up Pete and gang, with love from a soggy Western NC
For the most part, having watched a lot of your videos, it’s easy to tell that you are a straight up guy. You need to make a profit, that’s what you do without ripping people off. Keep on, keeping on Peter.
So sorry you had to endure that harassment Peter. You are doing this to entertain us and give us a glimpse in your business and life. Thank you. I'm sure so many of us really appreciate you, I know I do. Do you friend. Do you.
Exactly. People are so ignorant! Like Pete's not allowed to make out on a deal instead of barely making 30 percent for once??? There's so many idiots watching these videos it amazes me!!
@@josephdoiron8376not always man, the guy didn't even mention anything like that for one. All he said was he wanted to clear up space. It's okay to get a great deal once in a while. If a person found a box of things at a garage sale, figured some are probably not worth much while others possibly pretty good, theyd take if for a good deal. Petes a good man, anyone who watches his videos can clearly see that.
Why dont you take something worth over 2000 dollars and sell it to Pete for 50 bucks then if its ok. You know damn well he took advantage of that guys ignorance!
I'm relatively new to the channel and I love what you do. Don't let one rotten apple spoil the entire bunch. Toss it aside and keep on keepin' on, my friend.
I love the way you handle your business! Its one of the main reasons I am watching all your vids! The interaction and your honestly is so refreshing. I never see you get excited with trying to buy low and sell high You keep doing exactly what you have been doing mate! I hope business is good!
Peter you have always been upfront and fair. I've learned so much about pricing and buying from you. I watch your channel and feel a part of your family of customers, employees, and pets.
so sorry Peter, please dont let these weirdos affect you. You are caring, fair, and authentic... i personally look up to you. thank you for everything you do!
Honestly, really no need to explain yourself. For anyone following you, knows you’re stand-up guy. Happy to hear about your home run deals. You definitely deserve it!
Hey Pete, I’m really sorry this person made you feel this way man. You are such a wonderful person with a great spirit and heart. There are a lot of people like myself that understand if you made better profit than expected that you’d make it right with original seller; which really isn’t something you ever have to do, it’s a choice for you. Try not to let these people get to you and I’m sorry this person fucked with you. You’re a great man!
I started binge watching you about a month ago. I found you to be very honest, patient and kind. Even with people who try to scam you. You have good character and ignore the haters.
Some people are just plain crazy. You are being more kind than most. Don't let a nut job and their weird obsession with you get you down. My sales and understanding of eBay has benefitted from watching you. I thank you. If I buy a $1 item at a yard sale and sell it for $100, I don't go back to the sale and pay them more! Sometimes you lose money and sometimes you hit the jackpot. No shame in that, reselling is always a gamble.
Terrible analogy. The garage sale has a listed price. People come into Petes shop to get a fair price. Not to be given less than 5% of what’s worth. Even Pete claims 50% is fair. The poor guy got $50 and they made $2,400 & counting and that’s not even including the console. He rightly got called out by many and now is trying to do damage control and deleted the video. Playing the victim card and you guys are iust eating it all up. Just because Pete has some cute pets doesn’t make it right.
@@nicholasnoriega1205you’re the loser who emailed him over and over 😂😂. It’s so obvious. Only person in the entire comment section going on and on and on.
It's all business. Of all the resellers I've followed on UA-cam in the past decade, you've always been transparent and looked to help those out that come to your shop while staying profitable. With reselling there is no guaranteed profit with secondary goods. Appreciate you sharing. --Orlando
It’s the seller’s responsibility to make sure they do research on items before selling them. If they are satisfied with the amount they are getting, it’s a fair deal. You’re a business who has more expenses than just buying inventory for your shop, and you need to make profit to cover all those expenses. Don’t let people bring you down for earning money for you and your family.
@@dewilew2137why does UA-cam change that fact? Is it bc you act different when you are recorded? The legal definition of fair market value is what an able buyer is willing to pay an an accepting seller - when Pete offers (and has the cash in hand) he’s an able buyer expressing what he’s willing to pay, when the seller accepts = fair market value. Everything else is just speculation. Pete is able to maximize value due to how he setup his business. Whether or not that process is recorded makes no difference.
I watch for entertainment and I really like what you guys do here. One viewer that is super pleased and hope to keep seeing more videos from you guys! Love the shop and how you take care of people. Keep on going! You got this!
It has been shown time and time again that you are a stand up guy pete. haters are going to hate. there are always going to be wackos out there with too much time on their hands. be proud of what you are doing.
He did it to himself. I dont do crooked deals and advertise it. He is hurting his own brand and posting blame elsewhere. The truth is hard to handle. Maybe he will become a better person and business owner after this?
Pete, I'm sorry that you've been injured by some negative people. Before I leave a comment I always think about what my mother said, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything. If I watch any UA-cam video and feel like leaving a negative comment I quickly leave the video. It's just not worth my getting angry, and I never want to perpetuate my anger. Take care of yourself, breath deep, and as you said, take a step back. Thanks for sharing, it's clear that you care about what you do.
Love your channel. Been watching regularly for a couple of years now. I’ll admit, when the customer asked for $50, I was like “I want that deal!” I’m a picker and I need a home run every once in a while. It’s a grind and those kinds of deals are what keep me going. Kinda like playing the lottery? Anyway, there are endless channels on this platform glorifying buying low and selling high…retail, garage sales, real estate, cars, stock…It’s called business. It’s not like your guy lowballed the customer. The seller set the price. Yes, maybe ethically he could’ve said something, but he also sees the many times where the company loses out on what he buys. Is the “angry mob” upset when he OVERPAYS for an item(s)? When it sits on the shelf for over a year and never sells? The internet is filled with dumb, ignorant trolls. You’re good bro. Your followers aren’t going anywhere.
Pete, please keep putting up more UA-cam videos. I enjoy 'visiting' you through them. Don't be discouraged by the haters out there; a person who is determined to despise another will find some reason to do so no matter what you do---it tells all of us more about them than it throws mud on you. Keep up the good work!
Keep your head up Pete there’s ups and downs but you’ll get through this thank you for showing the rawness of the business and what you go through doing UA-cam again thank you your true supporters are still here 👍🏽 it’s a bad Apple from a whole tree
Hey Bud... Please do not get discouraged... there are a lot of people out there that love your videos. There are just some jerks out there that live to post hate on the internet. I have been a picker for 20 years now, you are an inspiration to those of us who do what we do. You are more than fair to people, and a gentlemen. I was just telling my fiancé that when we go to Chicago we are going to visit. It is not your job to negotiate against yourself. You are more transparent than most of us... you go right on the computer and show people what their stuff is worth, and give them a breakdown. Trolls on the internet live for baiting people into arguments... just don't engage.. Judge by the number people who send you gifts, post cards and love... Don't doubt yourself. Finally, I happen to be a practicing attorney... to sellers.... you have ever right to do your own research before you sell something to a picker.
I’m a full time reseller myself. What a lot of people who aren’t in this business don’t understand are the additional costs of running as reselling business, such as storage space, shipping supplies, returns, taxes, advertising, scams, broken items, etc, etc, etc. Great video. More power to you for running a UA-cam channel highlighting the business - I would never do it, for this reason.
Don't let the trolls get to you Pete. There is a bigger amount of people who appreciate what you do. Hope you feel better soon. keep bringing those awesome content videos. God bless you and your family.
Peter long time subscriber, you have always been a great person to your customers and your staff is first rate. These haters don’t realize your running a business and all that it entails. Plus they obviously don’t watch your videos when you give people extra money or money for nothing just to help them out. Please keep up the great work at the store and your wonderful video content. Hope to one day make it to the shop, I live out towards Rockford but originally from Elgin area. Anyway just wanted to say thanks , and hope these haters just stop. Be well.
Pete, I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m new to your channel so I’m kinda behind but I’ve seen enough to know that you’re an awesome person. I hope you were able to get past all of this. I just wanted to comment cause it hurt my heart a little to see someone like yourself get that kinda hate.
I love you and your channel. You are a very decent gentleman. I am so sorry this happened to you. Some people are just really broken and struggling, they direct their hurt and pain on others. I really feel sorry for those people because they are missing the whole point of life!
I hate that people have to hate on a good guy like u Pete! I love your channel I can't wait for you to come out with new videos buddy just keep doing what u do buddy much love
Why bother reading the absurdities emanating from the comment section on your channel! Simply create your content and ignore the comments unless they were prompted by yourself. Otherwise, ignore!
@@bertadelaudebri7179 Unfortunately, I think it's much harder to do that when your channel involves a physical and readily-available public location. He was right about the snowball effect of one person commenting a bunch of potentially criminal messages. One person becomes a hundred overnight. Removing the videos and addressing the issue was absolutely the best call here. For his own safety and that of his family, keeping an eye on the comments and messages is an unfortunate necessity.
I feel he will be leaving the prices out of future videos so this doesn't happen again. If comments gets under the skin of the UA-camr there usually a grain of truth in it that hurts. Pete admits his mistakes and makes him right as rain in my eyes.
@@emex313 He supports people paying his workers a living wage, he comes up with giveaways and gives subscribers a chance to win stuff every other video, he continues to his community and held a fundraiser for a man and his son who were struggling recently AND one of his workers just died suddenly. Just because you're jealous of him doesn't give you the right to lie and say crap like this. Find something productive to do, dude.
Pete, I’ve been watching you for a awhile now. You are one of the most honest & sincere people on UA-cam. Unfortunately, there are haters out there who hide behind a keyboard. I believe their main problem is jealousy! They can’t stand to see someone else be successful. I know it’s easy to say ignore them.....but just remember all the thousands of your subscribers who love & admire you. God bless you & your family.
As a fellow UA-camr, we have had several events like this. Our rule is as follows… if the comment is not constructive, it is removed. If it evil, it is reported. Haters will always be present. When you give up on one video, they win. Your too good of a man. You are fair and provide a very needed service. You will do the right thing. Thank you for the entertainment. At the end of the day, that is all UA-cam is.
Seriously Peter, you gotta remind yourself the more money, more problems. The more love you get online, the more hate you get. You could literally be a saint and there will always be people who line up to take shots at you. Don't make the mistake of thinking that these are reasonable people who will understand if you just explain things clearly. Those that actually watch your videos see all that you do and have so much admiration and respect for your work ethic, your kindness, humor, we see you support the people who work for you and your desire to be fair while maintaining a competitive edge in the resale market. How you are able to juggle everything you do and on top of it deal with this kind of crap from random self appointed experts and on top of that with everything you guys have been through losing one of your own....just remember that the more popular you get, the more subscribers, the more of the other side of the coin you'll get too and when you get the feeling you need to defend yourself just stop and take a look at how much you contribute. Love and Respect ♡
Hey Pete, I just wanted you to know that I love your videos and every time a new one comes out, I am sure to watch it. I find them very educational and entertaining. I think you and your team are the best.! People sell things at yard sales, thrift stores, and estate sales all the time not knowing what they are worth. If someone looses money at a yard sale, who cares. They agreed to that price, it's their loss. There is only one place for those who feel the need to harass you over this. The psychiatric unit! You are good people. Keep the vids coming. Please!!
Pete, We admire you! There are A-holes that write smack on every channel they look at. You are successful and they are not expect for being A-holes. You are a good man.
Negative comments weigh so much more than positive comments for some reason, they're very hard to shake off. You do what you gotta do for your mental health, but remember that there are far, FAR more positive people that love, LOVE your content and you! Keep your head up, you're doing a great job and second hand stores go out of business left and right all the time, you must be doing a lot right to have your place running still! And your channel is doing pretty good! You're a great guy man!❤
Pete you keep doing what you do. The personality of your business is why ppl continue to have your back. Your success is the reason we can view your progress and struggles. Stay strong Pete💪
I was ready to give up reselling if not for finding this channel. That was a few years ago, and I am having my best year ever. Pete's videos taught, inspired, and entertained.
Pete, So very sorry you had to deal with the bullying and hate. 😔. Your channel is wonderful. 😍🤩 It got me through some difficult times. You and your incredible staff should be proud at how respectful you conduct your business. Thank you!!🙏🙏🥇
Love what you do Pete. As others have said, you can’t let a few internet wack jobs get you down. They just have nothing better to do. It is a business, not a charity as said. Love the channel. F the internet trolls lol
I hope things are going better now. I enjoy watching you very much and how you deal with customers and items you get. I don't post often but want you to know you have support. Thank you for everything you do!
I was thrilled to learn this store is only 45 mins north of me. I love the honesty, the demeanor, the calm & fair way he makes a deal and anyone who doesnt understand how these stores have to work to stay in business, i implore them to read, watch, and understand before saying anything. If someone is just pushing dollars, they're out of business. This place is very very VERY fair and honest. I can imagine the hours and hours it takes to make it work and im a fan. Glad i found this channel, this store and cant wait to visit.
Guy could have put his stuff on eBay himself. With you he does no work, no research, no photos and descriptions, gets instant cash, no wrapping and posting, no lost parcel issues and no hassles from the buyers. In addition he came to you, you didn't knock on his door. You've done the work to put yourself in the position to buy and sell and to make a profit. People are just jealous.
Been really enjoying your content now for a good 5+ years, Pete. Sorry to see you're having to deal with assholes along the way. Don't let a select few ruin a good thing, though. I'm always excited to watch a video released by you. :) I appreciate you!!
UK reseller here, I found your videos a year ago when I was bed bound for a month after surgery. I caught up with everything from the start over the next few months while I was off work recovering and always look forward to new content. I can honestly say that you are a fair businessman. I am a part time reseller, I started 20 years ago when I returned to education and needed an income to keep my family while i studied and I understand that there must be a profit if you want to survive but you can always be fair, which you are and many people are not. Ignore the idiots, they are jealous of a successful man with a happy life and a happy family. Keep doing what you are doing!
Pete you are a totally decent guy- I came across your channel like a month ago , and you are way way more ethical than most resellers- the hell with people hating on you - you’re a good dude- straight up-
Haters are just jealous they don’t have the attention of good people, like you and your team. Pete, keep doing the good work you do. Your real audience loves your videos and your team. Do not change, EVER!!!
Zero to apologize for Pete. The guy got a kick out of hurting someone. Those of us who resell totally understand the buy amount. We’ve learned so much from you Pete. I’ve seen this same thing more and more from you tubers-they are getting more and more hate. You are fair and it’s in video that you are. Block and remember we have your back. I’m sorry you had to endure this. Hugs to all of you…especially Ruby and Honey 🎈
Pete: rips guy a new one giving him $50 & makes $2,400 gross profit. You: we got your back pete you’re amazing. Lmfao. You guys are brainwashed. Real resellers can make profit without ripping people off.

And as for "making profit", you clearly have no idea the work/time/FEES that will come out of this sale. You act like Pete is going to pocket "2,400"? Spoiler: after taxes, fees, and the normal expenses from running an actual brick and mortar, there will likely be no actual d@mn profit.
@@nicholasnoriega1205so what he got a good deal, what a terrible thing for business man. He's even reaching out to the guy to pay him more. Cool off you nutcase.
@@gailresources3970 Gives a guy $50 for $2,500 worth of stuff doesn’t sound fair. There is a reason get got called out by dozens and dozens of people. So much he had to delete the videos to protect his image.
I'm not even into pawning items but the fun of your channel is how nicely and fairly you treat people and the love you share with your animals. As a matter of fact it appears that the store actually belongs to the cat.
Pete, You are my very favorite content creator. You gave the guy what he asked for and had a nice profit. Thank you for all you do for us to learn from you. I have been watching you since the beginning and you have inspired me greatly. I hate to see that some idiots are giving you grief.
Hey Pete im a reseller as well,I love to watch your videos. I watched that video and the guy asked 50 bucks and Ryan gave it to him. He got what he asked what more can you do. Its very nice of you to even consider giving the guy more. Your a much better guy than me I would have not offered. Keep doing what your doing your a great guy and I love your channel... Cheers 😊
Agreed. I also see a lot of similar deals made with large profit margins on other reseller channels here on You Tube but you won't find the same negativity in the comments that you find here. As a buyer, I'm looking to pay as little as possible for an item. As a seller, I'm looking to get as much as I can reasonably expect for an item. On either end of that transaction, it's up to each party to do his or her research prior to completing the deal. It may sound harsh but that's the truth. The fact that Steve is reaching out to the buyer to give him more money at this point is nothing but a nice gesture on his part.
That's not the point. I understand business dumbass. The reason people are mad is because he made the 2nd video bragging about it and the ONLY REASON he is addressing this is because he F'd up making that 2nd video and now his channel is tanking
As a reseller, you have to factor in also all the deals you make that don’t pan out with massive profits. Take advantage of the great deals and minimize losses
The analogy makes zero sense in comparison to this situation. If the house stacked the deck and cheated you would be more like this situation. This guy was assuming Pete was a fair and ethical business owner but that is false.
Don’t b phased brother -- hate is everywhere, especially during these times. You got a business to run and people to take care of. Continue to b the light and inspire. Prayers to u and yours .. 🙏🏼✝️💯
Pete , first and foremost , it's YOUR business , not ours , not anyone elses . You pay the rent and you pay the wages . One really good profit makes-up for all the stuff that sits for months without selling or the stuff that doesn't sell at all . Most sensible people will understand that and it's only the armchair experts who know better . Keep doing what you do and we loyal viewers will keep watching , Love to Ruby and Honey
Wait, wait,wait! I stopped the video at 6:50 and had to write something before going on. Pete first off the guy who sold the system to you was happy with the price he received for payment. Second if he wanted more he could have asked for more! The damn keyboard warrior(s) who are starting crap… Totally IGNORE THEM! Your content is good to watch to see how an average business is conducted. Every day things. I go to auctions to buy things & sometimes I just get a GREAT DEAL on an item. Sorry but hey I bid on it & if I happen to get a $1000 thing for $5. Do you think I’ll go to the auctioneer or the estate & give them an extra $250 or $500? Hell no! I’m sure the hater’s aren’t either! Screw those people who are doing this & see what can be done about this. YT surely has an idea for blocking certain ip addresses & I’m sure they can help you out with that. Keep your stress levels down & if a viewer starts this crap again Block the people! But please don’t stop making the videos of everyday things in your shop. Sincerely, An Everyday Citizen
Hey Pete! A price was agreed upon and the transaction was concluded. You do not have to answer to anything. This country has become toxic with hate. People are unsatisfied and trying to feel like someone important by bashing others. This is the norm for UA-cam these days. A lot of other channels are also being abused by viewers. Don't let it get you down. You are the nicest and fairest man in the business and I have never seen you cheat anyone. I think this guy is jealous that he wasn't there to get in on the deal. Take care and keep being yourself, FAIR and Generous!!
Thanks, Pete. I personally couldn't handle all the negative comments from people on the internet. It would wear me down and pass me off, then wear me down on and on. A while back, I was watching Joe Rogan, and he was surprised that the personnel was interviewing. I read comments from their UA-cam channel and talked about how he no longer even reads them. Enough rambling from me. Thanks for sharing, Pete.
Peter, I'm so sorry you had to deal with ppl who love trolling. I love your content and feel that you treat ppl fair. I hope you continue doing what you do and wish you and the family the best. Friend from CANADA take care.
@Correction We all know how Peter's line of work is. Sometimes you get something good and sometimes you get screwed. He has also said he was going to make thing right with the gentleman. The thing that upsets me is that someone has nothing better to do then threaten his family. If you have a problem with his content, just go watch something else. I feel sorry for whoever is doing this bc they dont have anything better to do but hide behind their keyboard. Get a life seriously.
@@lydellletandre2495 When you put yourself on a platform like UA-cam, you have to be prepared to take the good with the bad . He has a large following and probably makes good money from his channel as well as exposure for his products in store. We don’t know if he was receiving threats or not. This seemed like nothing other than an attention seeking video which has worked as it’s full of supportive comments. I believe this was about getting his subscribers back on side.
Your video has been up for an hour and you have hundreds of people basically saying the same thing. That's what I'm going say, I love your videos - more importantly I and so many others clearly see you are fair and good. The trolls got to you. They are not your audience. Thanks for this and all your videos I've learned a lot from you and appreciate all your content.
These are the best videos on UA-cam. This is my number one watch list over everything that I have watched in the past 10 years. Sometimes I just listen to it in the background please do not stop.
Hi Pete I'm a casual watcher. I enjoy your videos, your take and I've always felt you're fair. One video that solidified that you're fair was your breakdown video of how much money it costs to operate a business like yours. I'm sorry that you've been vilified over a situation like this, clearly not warranted. I think you're explanations are spot on! Keep up the good work, stay safe and love God and your family!
Pete, you’re truly a good and honest man. I’ve watched what you put up with daily with people trying to peddle stolen or counterfeit goods, some with pure junk and you treat everyone with respect. I saw you buy something that had zero value for $20 because the lady was homeless. Don’t let the hate get to you. I watch your channel because you’re a good man, because you show everyone respect, because you’re honest. Keep up the great work!
So what don’t worry about what people says Pete. U have employees, rent and other expenses to pay month in month out. Love ur channel. Please keep putting up contents. Oh I am happy u made some profits.
They are just internet trolls. Worst thing you can do is engage them. You have a great channel and it’s obvious that your a fair guy and great to your animals. Thanks Pete
I agree, 100%
dang did the troll reply to you on this comment? It says 1 reply and there is no reply tho. people like this are just having a bad life and take it out on others success. believe me I used to be rude to people on youtube myself years ago. I dont have a great life but I realized what I was doing and stopped being rude. I hope the guy can get help and realize he is just using his pain to give others pain for no reason.
I don't know if it's just trolls. Trolls are people who don't necessarily believe what they say, but just like to cause trouble. While i would never do the things he says people emailed him about, i can at least understand people being upset. As a reseller who specializes in video games, his employee had to know that those games had some value.
Even if the sealed games were only worth $30 each, giving the seller only $50 for EVERYTHING was way too low, and i think, dishonest. I know, some will say that that was what the seller asked for, so it's morally right. My morality is different, i guess. I would have made a guess at the true value (maybe look a couple games up on ebay for reference), then offered him 50% of that number.
So, no, of course he should not have gotten death threats and hate. But i think criticism is fair. Would he have decided to give the original seller a cut of the larger profits, had he not gotten all the hate? I have no idea. Probably not, since he edited and posted the original video, thinking the behavior in it was ok. In other videos, i've seen him being honest though, so maybe. The point is, his employee really did screw that seller.
Ofcourse it was i agree, $50 was robbing the seller blind, fact. People with good morals naturally are gonna be fuming with that and rightly so.@@trekkiejunk
you are that troll. entitlement lover and anti-capitalist. @@trekkiejunk
Hey Pete, it sucks you have to deal with that stuff. I haven't been watching you all that long but ever since I have I always felt you were honest and upfront with people, that's what made me continue to watch. You seem like a really honest and upfront guy, hope things get better.
The problem with internet hate is that the small bits of hate will always overshadow the large amounts of love poured in. I would hope most people feel you are a genuine & caring person because you've proven it over and over again.
The problem with blaming others and not taking responsibility for your own actions is lack of personsal growth. He is taking a shot to the wallet and his business model is being tarnished. Blaming "haters" and "trolls" will get him nowhere.
@@josephdoiron8376 Did you even watch the video? He isn't blaming haters, he's bringing them up. I guess troll can just attack someone and the person being hated on can't even bring up the haters. Nah man..

We love you Pete!!! Me and my girlfriend love to wind down and relax together after a long day while watching you on our television! You provide free entertainment to so many people, while running a full-time business, an ebay, a website, etc...
I know it's not easy but try to ignore all the haters. The vast majority of viewers love your channel and your content. It's just a vocal minority that love to speak up and complain about anything they can. We have definitely missed your videos the last few days, and I hope things can go back to normal soon. But take as much time as you need, your mental well-being is more important. Thanks for all the years of enjoyment and entertainment Pete!
U 2 sound like losers
Pete, during covid, it was difficult times for many of us and it was always, ALWAYS great to watch your videos to uplift the spirit. Keep doing what you do
As a small business owner for over 25 years, I always thought you paid too much for items. Non business people don't truly understand the costs associated with running any business. You seem to go out of your way to help sellers get something for their items. Your honest dealings are beyond reproach. God Bless You!
I 100% agree Pete offers way more than I would sometimes. This is a business not a charity. These people are not being forced to sell their items.
Amen to that 🙏
Well Pete made $2,400 off giving the guy only $50 lmao. What a scam.
@@nicholasnoriega1205 Obviously you don't understand business
@@nicholasnoriega1205if he had made only $1, would the guy have gave some of his money back?
Obviously not. Business pays those who take the risk.
Pete, we know pawn shops typically only offer 10-30% of retail value, you typically offer 40-50%. We also know you are a business, not a charity. You also take risk, electronics can fail, items could be counterfeit, etc. Any hate is usually coming from young, ignorant people who don't know business. 99% of your viewers, like me, got your back 🙂

I just started watching your channel a few weeks ago and your honest “wheeling & dealings” with the characters that come into the shop just makes my day and all the animals are precious and judging by your interaction with everything around you including your staff, I can tell you are such a great guy and that is the main reason I watch the channel. Hope you are feeling better!
I just started watching in the last week or so and I have been “catching up” as much as I can. I keep watching because it is the most authentic, genuine channel I have seen. It breaks my heart that you had such an awful experience and I completely understand your shock and concern after this type of personal attack. I am so sorry this happened to you and I pray that you are able to put this behind you and continue with the great videos that I’ve been watching. I so completely and thoroughly enjoy watching because it’s so real. Your channel is the most REAL I have seen. (I mean even the Iranian Nomads are putting fake drama in their videos) when people, me at least, want to see authenticity and genuine real life. Some people just have too much anger. Don’t let them change you. You were doing nothing wrong before so please do not feel you need to change anything now. Such anger filled people should be ignored. ( nothing will bother them more)👍😊
You’re a good guy Pete and shouldn’t feel bad. You make a lot of deals and pay fair prices.
There’s Thousands who enjoy your content all about you, your store, the team and of course the animals.

Please continue your great work & do not get discouraged by a few negative individuals....
I've followed your channel for a few years now and I'm a reseller myself. I've always felt that watching your videos that you're putting yourself out there. Personally I couldn't do it, it's just not my cup of tea. I've always felt you're more than fair with customers. Keep up what you're doing and try not to let hate get you down. That's only giving the hater more power over you.
You’re an amazing person, Pete! I love watching you and your animals at the shop! I will always stand behind you! ❤
Pete, we love your channel and watching what you do. Unfortunately, there are people out there that have nothing better to do than to give other people a hard time. All I have to say is screw those people. There’s plenty of those out there that love your channel and know you are not out there to screw anyone over and you do the right thing. Let it roll off your shoulder and carry on-we love what you do and know that you are a good man that isn’t out to screw anyone over!
Right! He is not running a charity, sometimes you make a buck, sometimes not.

How do you figure that this person is “hateful” and “only wants to cause pain to others” when his primary concern was the guy getting ripped off? He went about it in a terrible way, but clearly he was upset by what he perceived as someone being taken advantage of. That is antithetical to the type of person you’re describing.
@@dewilew2137 Someone who conducts themselves in that manner, I would sincerely have doubts as to the how genuine their initial intentions are. A lot of SJWs just look for that little tiny pathetic spark to suddenly barrage someone with a bunch of hatred while masquerading as some moral paragon of society. It's all some pathetic attempt to belittle others while making themselves feel better about their own sad lives.
I'm so sorry to hear this! Pete this is just crazy. The haters just want attention. Why are they watching if they hate you so much? People just suck sometimes.
Pete, I rarely comment on videos here, but I have been following your channel for a long time, and have always found you to be a very decent man. I have seen you offer people more than they were asking when the item was worth more. In this instance the seller got his asking price so that should really have been the end of it - as he walked away with what he wanted. There will always be haters, people who hide behind the anonymity of the internet and badmouth others - sometimes just for the heck of it, but occasionally with justification - but I have always found you to be fair and decent, and, at the end of the day, you do have to make a living - and, as they saying goes, "some you win, some you lose"! If the hate mail gets personal you should report it to the authorities, but please keep doing what you are doing, and your loyal followers will continue to enjoy your content. Be strong!
You are a good man that loves his family and pets ❤ Please, don't get discouraged by outrageous people. How else would that kid learn without going out in the world and negotiate with people? Love watching you and Honey ❤
Pete is so transparent that even his drink is see-through. Pete, don't listen to the haters. How many people that sold you junk came back to return some of the money? A deal is a deal, and there's no going back and renegotiating it. You're a great guy Pete! A big hello to you and the gang from California.

You are a generous man and many times you pay more than I would for items, you have nothing to be ashamed about or be sorry for. The vast majority of us love you, your employees and your channel. Keep up the good work and don't let the haters get you down!
@@dwsweettea63 -- Why is criticism passed off as simply trolls? And "professional trolls?" That would mean they get paid, and who would pay a guy to harass a reseller shop? Nonsense. Those people were vociferous about their opinions, and many took it waaaay too far, but they are not trolls. They were genuinely pissed.
And while i think much of their behavior is wrong. i can understand people being upset. We all operate on different moralities. For some, "You paid what the guy asked for," is perfectly moral. It's not for me. I would always want to pay a decent portion of the value, or at least give them a fair assessment of the value, and how much of it i am offering. Whether it's 25% or 50%, i would still want to be upfront about it all.
His employee may not have known a game would sell for 1K, but he definitely knew those sealed ones had some decent value. Games are their specialty. And if it's morally justified to you because "that's what they asked for," then good for you. I just wouldn't feel like a good person doing that, without the guy knowing that there is potentially a lot of money in the games.

Some people are just plain crazy. You are being more kind than most. Don't let a nut job and their weird obsession with you get you down.
My sales and understanding of eBay has benefitted from watching you. I thank you.
If I buy a $1 item at a yard sale and sell it for $100, I don't go back to the sale and pay them more! Sometimes you lose money and sometimes you hit the jackpot. No shame in that, reselling is always a gamble.
Terrible analogy. The garage sale has a listed price. People come into Petes shop to get a fair price. Not to be given less than 5% of what’s worth. Even Pete claims 50% is fair. The poor guy got $50 and they made $2,400 & counting and that’s not even including the console. He rightly got called out by many and now is trying to do damage control and deleted the video. Playing the victim card and you guys are iust eating it all up. Just because Pete has some cute pets doesn’t make it right.

@@nicholasnoriega1205 The guy said he wanted 50 dollars. *he* named the price. So it is the same as the garage sale comparison.
It's all business. Of all the resellers I've followed on UA-cam in the past decade, you've always been transparent and looked to help those out that come to your shop while staying profitable. With reselling there is no guaranteed profit with secondary goods. Appreciate you sharing. --Orlando
It’s the seller’s responsibility to make sure they do research on items before selling them. If they are satisfied with the amount they are getting, it’s a fair deal. You’re a business who has more expenses than just buying inventory for your shop, and you need to make profit to cover all those expenses. Don’t let people bring you down for earning money for you and your family.
This would be true for a regular pawn shop, but it’s somewhat less true for one with a large UA-cam following and an eBay store.
No it's still true. There's a reason that guy only asked for $50. If he paid for the games he knows how much he paid for them.
@@dewilew2137why does UA-cam change that fact? Is it bc you act different when you are recorded? The legal definition of fair market value is what an able buyer is willing to pay an an accepting seller - when Pete offers (and has the cash in hand) he’s an able buyer expressing what he’s willing to pay, when the seller accepts = fair market value. Everything else is just speculation. Pete is able to maximize value due to how he setup his business. Whether or not that process is recorded makes no difference.
You and your team are awesome. No mistakes. Don’t let the jerks get to you. Thanks for all the content!

Pete, I'm sorry that you've been injured by some negative people. Before I leave a comment I always think about what my mother said, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything. If I watch any UA-cam video and feel like leaving a negative comment I quickly leave the video. It's just not worth my getting angry, and I never want to perpetuate my anger. Take care of yourself, breath deep, and as you said, take a step back. Thanks for sharing, it's clear that you care about what you do.
Love your channel. Been watching regularly for a couple of years now.
I’ll admit, when the customer asked for $50, I was like “I want that deal!” I’m a picker and I need a home run every once in a while. It’s a grind and those kinds of deals are what keep me going. Kinda like playing the lottery?
Anyway, there are endless channels on this platform glorifying buying low and selling high…retail, garage sales, real estate, cars, stock…It’s called business. It’s not like your guy lowballed the customer. The seller set the price. Yes, maybe ethically he could’ve said something, but he also sees the many times where the company loses out on what he buys. Is the “angry mob” upset when he OVERPAYS for an item(s)? When it sits on the shelf for over a year and never sells?
The internet is filled with dumb, ignorant trolls. You’re good bro. Your followers aren’t going anywhere.
Pete, please keep putting up more UA-cam videos. I enjoy 'visiting' you through them. Don't be discouraged by the haters out there; a person who is determined to despise another will find some reason to do so no matter what you do---it tells all of us more about them than it throws mud on you.
Keep up the good work!
Keep your head up Pete there’s ups and downs but you’ll get through this thank you for showing the rawness of the business and what you go through doing UA-cam again thank you your true supporters are still here 👍🏽 it’s a bad Apple from a whole tree
Pete, you are a genuine person. Sorry you had to go through this. Will continue to watch.
Hey Bud... Please do not get discouraged... there are a lot of people out there that love your videos. There are just some jerks out there that live to post hate on the internet. I have been a picker for 20 years now, you are an inspiration to those of us who do what we do. You are more than fair to people, and a gentlemen. I was just telling my fiancé that when we go to Chicago we are going to visit. It is not your job to negotiate against yourself. You are more transparent than most of us... you go right on the computer and show people what their stuff is worth, and give them a breakdown. Trolls on the internet live for baiting people into arguments... just don't engage.. Judge by the number people who send you gifts, post cards and love... Don't doubt yourself. Finally, I happen to be a practicing attorney... to sellers.... you have ever right to do your own research before you sell something to a picker.
I’m a full time reseller myself.
What a lot of people who aren’t in this business don’t understand are the additional costs of running as reselling business, such as storage space, shipping supplies, returns, taxes, advertising, scams, broken items, etc, etc, etc.
Great video. More power to you for running a UA-cam channel highlighting the business - I would never do it, for this reason.
Hey Pete, my wife and I love watching you, we especially love Honey and your bird. To us you are a very honest man. God bless you and your family.
Don't let the trolls get to you Pete. There is a bigger amount of people who appreciate what you do. Hope you feel better soon. keep bringing those awesome content videos. God bless you and your family.
Peter long time subscriber, you have always been a great person to your customers and your staff is first rate. These haters don’t realize your running a business and all that it entails. Plus they obviously don’t watch your videos when you give people extra money or money for nothing just to help them out. Please keep up the great work at the store and your wonderful video content. Hope to one day make it to the shop, I live out towards Rockford but originally from Elgin area. Anyway just wanted to say thanks , and hope these haters just stop. Be well.
Pete, I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m new to your channel so I’m kinda behind but I’ve seen enough to know that you’re an awesome person. I hope you were able to get past all of this. I just wanted to comment cause it hurt my heart a little to see someone like yourself get that kinda hate.
I love you and your channel. You are a very decent gentleman. I am so sorry this happened to you. Some people are just really broken and struggling, they direct their hurt and pain on others. I really feel sorry for those people because they are missing the whole point of life!
I hate that people have to hate on a good guy like u Pete! I love your channel I can't wait for you to come out with new videos buddy just keep doing what u do buddy much love
Why bother reading the absurdities emanating from the comment section on your channel!
Simply create your content and ignore the comments unless they were prompted by yourself. Otherwise, ignore!
@@bertadelaudebri7179 Unfortunately, I think it's much harder to do that when your channel involves a physical and readily-available public location. He was right about the snowball effect of one person commenting a bunch of potentially criminal messages. One person becomes a hundred overnight. Removing the videos and addressing the issue was absolutely the best call here.
For his own safety and that of his family, keeping an eye on the comments and messages is an unfortunate necessity.
@@brennanluvaul-hays243 indeed...
I feel he will be leaving the prices out of future videos so this doesn't happen again. If comments gets under the skin of the UA-camr there usually a grain of truth in it that hurts. Pete admits his mistakes and makes him right as rain in my eyes.
It’s a business. Plain and simple.
Business of robbing people
@@emex313 just shut your mouth and go somewhere else!
@@emex313 You spelled government wrong! 🤣
@@emex313 He supports people paying his workers a living wage, he comes up with giveaways and gives subscribers a chance to win stuff every other video, he continues to his community and held a fundraiser for a man and his son who were struggling recently AND one of his workers just died suddenly. Just because you're jealous of him doesn't give you the right to lie and say crap like this. Find something productive to do, dude.
@@Tobikoyum7 you know what? You're so right. Your excuses definitely justify him ripping people off.
Pete, I’ve been watching you for a awhile now. You are one of the most honest & sincere people on UA-cam. Unfortunately, there are haters out there who hide behind a keyboard. I believe their main problem is jealousy! They can’t stand to see someone else be successful. I know it’s easy to say ignore them.....but just remember all the thousands of your subscribers who love & admire you. God bless you & your family.
As a fellow UA-camr, we have had several events like this. Our rule is as follows… if the comment is not constructive, it is removed. If it evil, it is reported. Haters will always be present. When you give up on one video, they win.
Your too good of a man. You are fair and provide a very needed service. You will do the right thing. Thank you for the entertainment. At the end of the day, that is all UA-cam is.
You don't have to explain yourself or even mention the animals. Just found your channel and you are an amazing person ❤️
Seriously Peter, you gotta remind yourself the more money, more problems. The more love you get online, the more hate you get. You could literally be a saint and there will always be people who line up to take shots at you. Don't make the mistake of thinking that these are reasonable people who will understand if you just explain things clearly. Those that actually watch your videos see all that you do and have so much admiration and respect for your work ethic, your kindness, humor, we see you support the people who work for you and your desire to be fair while maintaining a competitive edge in the resale market. How you are able to juggle everything you do and on top of it deal with this kind of crap from random self appointed experts and on top of that with everything you guys have been through losing one of your own....just remember that the more popular you get, the more subscribers, the more of the other side of the coin you'll get too and when you get the feeling you need to defend yourself just stop and take a look at how much you contribute. Love and Respect ♡
No the more money the more homes he has. He also gets paid once a month from UA-cam.
@@IamAnubis-oj7tk Uh,dude- go back to school and invest in your education because your envy is noxious.

@@IamAnubis-oj7tk Food stamps? Why do you assume they are on foodstamps?
@@IamAnubis-oj7tk Nothing wrong with having more than one home
Hey Pete, I just wanted you to know that I love your videos and every time a new one comes out, I am sure to watch it. I find them very educational and entertaining. I think you and your team are the best.! People sell things at yard sales, thrift stores, and estate sales all the time not knowing what they are worth. If someone looses money at a yard sale, who cares. They agreed to that price, it's their loss. There is only one place for those who feel the need to harass you over this. The psychiatric unit! You are good people. Keep the vids coming. Please!!
WE ALL LOVE YOU PETE! BEEN WATCHING FOREVER! NEVER CHANGE! YOU 100% HAVE MY SUPPORT AND MANY OF US HERE ❤
Pete, We admire you! There are A-holes that write smack on every channel they look at. You are successful and they are not expect for being A-holes. You are a good man.
Negative comments weigh so much more than positive comments for some reason, they're very hard to shake off.
You do what you gotta do for your mental health, but remember that there are far, FAR more positive people that love, LOVE your content and you! Keep your head up, you're doing a great job and second hand stores go out of business left and right all the time, you must be doing a lot right to have your place running still! And your channel is doing pretty good! You're a great guy man!❤
Pete you keep doing what you do. The personality of your business is why ppl continue to have your back. Your success is the reason we can view your progress and struggles. Stay strong Pete💪
Be quiet clown, stop trying to suck up to him
Some people are rude and jealous. Keep up the Great work.
I was ready to give up reselling if not for finding this channel. That was a few years ago, and I am having my best year ever. Pete's videos taught, inspired, and entertained.
@@tillitsdone shut it clown 🤡
Pete, So very sorry you had to deal with the bullying and hate. 😔. Your channel is wonderful. 😍🤩 It got me through some difficult times. You and your incredible staff should be proud at how respectful you conduct your business. Thank you!!🙏🙏🥇
Love what you do Pete. As others have said, you can’t let a few internet wack jobs get you down. They just have nothing better to do. It is a business, not a charity as said. Love the channel. F the internet trolls lol
I hope things are going better now. I enjoy watching you very much and how you deal with customers and items you get. I don't post often but want you to know you have support. Thank you for everything you do!
I was thrilled to learn this store is only 45 mins north of me. I love the honesty, the demeanor, the calm & fair way he makes a deal and anyone who doesnt understand how these stores have to work to stay in business, i implore them to read, watch, and understand before saying anything. If someone is just pushing dollars, they're out of business. This place is very very VERY fair and honest. I can imagine the hours and hours it takes to make it work and im a fan. Glad i found this channel, this store and cant wait to visit.
Guy could have put his stuff on eBay himself. With you he does no work, no research, no photos and descriptions, gets instant cash, no wrapping and posting, no lost parcel issues and no hassles from the buyers. In addition he came to you, you didn't knock on his door. You've done the work to put yourself in the position to buy and sell and to make a profit. People are just jealous.
Exactly!!!
💯
Been really enjoying your content now for a good 5+ years, Pete. Sorry to see you're having to deal with assholes along the way. Don't let a select few ruin a good thing, though. I'm always excited to watch a video released by you. :) I appreciate you!!
UK reseller here, I found your videos a year ago when I was bed bound for a month after surgery. I caught up with everything from the start over the next few months while I was off work recovering and always look forward to new content. I can honestly say that you are a fair businessman. I am a part time reseller, I started 20 years ago when I returned to education and needed an income to keep my family while i studied and I understand that there must be a profit if you want to survive but you can always be fair, which you are and many people are not. Ignore the idiots, they are jealous of a successful man with a happy life and a happy family. Keep doing what you are doing!
Pete, you are an authentic bird, a quality cat, an honest man's man... Journey on my friend, keep sharing your world, its great stuff!!
Pete you are a totally decent guy- I came across your channel like a month ago , and you are way way more ethical than most resellers- the hell with people hating on you - you’re a good dude- straight up-
Haters are just jealous they don’t have the attention of good people, like you and your team. Pete, keep doing the good work you do. Your real audience loves your videos and your team. Do not change, EVER!!!
Zero to apologize for Pete. The guy got a kick out of hurting someone. Those of us who resell totally understand the buy amount. We’ve learned so much from you Pete. I’ve seen this same thing more and more from you tubers-they are getting more and more hate. You are fair and it’s in video that you are. Block and remember we have your back. I’m sorry you had to endure this. Hugs to all of you…especially Ruby and Honey 🎈
Pete: rips guy a new one giving him $50 & makes $2,400 gross profit. You: we got your back pete you’re amazing. Lmfao. You guys are brainwashed. Real resellers can make profit without ripping people off.
@@nicholasnoriega1205
Staff: "Would you take 50 bucks"?
Guy: "Sure! Deal!"
nicholasnoriega1205: "ZOMG!!!! YOU ARE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF !!@!@!@!@!@!@"
Did you miss the part where they made an offer and the guy FREELY ACCEPTED IT? You call people brianwahsed, but who is the 3rd party clown sitting here melting down because you think you have some say in a negotiation that doesn't involve you.
And as for "making profit", you clearly have no idea the work/time/FEES that will come out of this sale. You act like Pete is going to pocket "2,400"?
Spoiler: after taxes, fees, and the normal expenses from running an actual brick and mortar, there will likely be no actual d@mn profit.
@@nicholasnoriega1205so what he got a good deal, what a terrible thing for business man. He's even reaching out to the guy to pay him more. Cool off you nutcase.
@@nicholasnoriega1205 go make your own deals. Pete’s are always fair. You don’t build a successful business like his without being a stand up person.
@@gailresources3970 Gives a guy $50 for $2,500 worth of stuff doesn’t sound fair. There is a reason get got called out by dozens and dozens of people. So much he had to delete the videos to protect his image.
I'm not even into pawning items but the fun of your channel is how nicely and fairly you
treat people and the love you share with your animals. As a matter of fact it appears that the store actually belongs to the cat.
I'm sure the cat thinks so lol
Pete, You are my very favorite content creator. You gave the guy what he asked for and had a nice profit. Thank you for all you do for us to learn from you. I have been watching you since the beginning and you have inspired me greatly. I hate to see that some idiots are giving you grief.
Great video good man.
Hey Pete im a reseller as well,I love to watch your videos. I watched that video and the guy asked 50 bucks and Ryan gave it to him. He got what he asked what more can you do. Its very nice of you to even consider giving the guy more. Your a much better guy than me I would have not offered. Keep doing what your doing your a great guy and I love your channel... Cheers 😊
Agreed. I also see a lot of similar deals made with large profit margins on other reseller channels here on You Tube but you won't find the same negativity in the comments that you find here. As a buyer, I'm looking to pay as little as possible for an item. As a seller, I'm looking to get as much as I can reasonably expect for an item. On either end of that transaction, it's up to each party to do his or her research prior to completing the deal. It may sound harsh but that's the truth. The fact that Steve is reaching out to the buyer to give him more money at this point is nothing but a nice gesture on his part.
Learn the difference between you're and your. Clown.
I would not buy from you
@@scottrunnels3958 lmfao
That's not the point. I understand business dumbass. The reason people are mad is because he made the 2nd video bragging about it and the ONLY REASON he is addressing this is because he F'd up making that 2nd video and now his channel is tanking
As a reseller, you have to factor in also all the deals you make that don’t pan out with massive profits. Take advantage of the great deals and minimize losses
Spot on mate... Gamblers lose $1,000 and then win $500 and everyone expects a round of drinks... hope that makes sense 😅
The analogy makes zero sense in comparison to this situation. If the house stacked the deck and cheated you would be more like this situation. This guy was assuming Pete was a fair and ethical business owner but that is false.
Don’t b phased brother -- hate is everywhere, especially during these times. You got a business to run and people to take care of. Continue to b the light and inspire. Prayers to u and yours .. 🙏🏼✝️💯
I recently subbed and I love your videos. How does anyone give you any hate!?!?!? You are amazing and are so fair to your customers.
It really doesn't matter, it comes down too what you offer and if the customer accepts it. You do you Pete. Great channel.
Pete , first and foremost , it's YOUR business , not ours , not anyone elses . You pay the rent and you pay the wages . One really good profit makes-up for all the stuff that sits for months without selling or the stuff that doesn't sell at all . Most sensible people will understand that and it's only the armchair experts who know better . Keep doing what you do and we loyal viewers will keep watching , Love to Ruby and Honey
Wait, wait,wait!
I stopped the video at 6:50 and had to write something before going on.
Pete first off the guy who sold the system to you was happy with the price he received for payment.
Second if he wanted more he could have asked for more!
The damn keyboard warrior(s) who are starting crap… Totally IGNORE THEM!
Your content is good to watch to see how an average business is conducted.
Every day things.
I go to auctions to buy things & sometimes I just get a GREAT DEAL on an item. Sorry but hey I bid on it & if I happen to get a $1000 thing for $5. Do you think I’ll go to the auctioneer or the estate & give them an extra $250 or $500? Hell no!
I’m sure the hater’s aren’t either!
Screw those people who are doing this & see what can be done about this.
YT surely has an idea for blocking certain ip addresses & I’m sure they can help you out with that.
Keep your stress levels down & if a viewer starts this crap again
Block the people!
But please don’t stop making the videos of everyday things in your shop.
Sincerely,
An Everyday Citizen
Hey Pete! A price was agreed upon and the transaction was concluded. You do not have to answer to anything. This country has become toxic with hate. People are unsatisfied and trying to feel like someone important by bashing others. This is the norm for UA-cam these days. A lot of other channels are also being abused by viewers. Don't let it get you down. You are the nicest and fairest man in the business and I have never seen you cheat anyone. I think this guy is jealous that he wasn't there to get in on the deal. Take care and keep being yourself, FAIR and Generous!!
"Truth" the new hate speech
Thanks, Pete. I personally couldn't handle all the negative comments from people on the internet. It would wear me down and pass me off, then wear me down on and on. A while back, I was watching Joe Rogan, and he was surprised that the personnel was interviewing. I read comments from their UA-cam channel and talked about how he no longer even reads them. Enough rambling from me. Thanks for sharing, Pete.
I am so sorry you had to go through this. I think I would stop reading the comments, we know you’re a good person & fair with your customers. ❤
Peter, I'm so sorry you had to deal with ppl who love trolling. I love your content and feel that you treat ppl fair. I hope you continue doing what you do and wish you and the family the best. Friend from CANADA take care.
Yeah let’s feel sorry for Pete. He’s just made $2400 from a $50 deal pahahaha
@Correction We all know how Peter's line of work is. Sometimes you get something good and sometimes you get screwed. He has also said he was going to make thing right with the gentleman. The thing that upsets me is that someone has nothing better to do then threaten his family. If you have a problem with his content, just go watch something else. I feel sorry for whoever is doing this bc they dont have anything better to do but hide behind their keyboard. Get a life seriously.
@@lydellletandre2495 When you put yourself on a platform like UA-cam, you have to be prepared to take the good with the bad . He has a large following and probably makes good money from his channel as well as exposure for his products in store. We don’t know if he was receiving threats or not. This seemed like nothing other than an attention seeking video which has worked as it’s full of supportive comments. I believe this was about getting his subscribers back on side.
@@Correction294 re watch he is giving that guy more money !!! are you perfect
Your video has been up for an hour and you have hundreds of people basically saying the same thing. That's what I'm going say, I love your videos - more importantly I and so many others clearly see you are fair and good. The trolls got to you. They are not your audience. Thanks for this and all your videos I've learned a lot from you and appreciate all your content.
These are the best videos on UA-cam. This is my number one watch list over everything that I have watched in the past 10 years. Sometimes I just listen to it in the background please do not stop.
Hi Pete I'm a casual watcher. I enjoy your videos, your take and I've always felt you're fair. One video that solidified that you're fair was your breakdown video of how much money it costs to operate a business like yours. I'm sorry that you've been vilified over a situation like this, clearly not warranted. I think you're explanations are spot on! Keep up the good work, stay safe and love God and your family!
Pete, you’re truly a good and honest man. I’ve watched what you put up with daily with people trying to peddle stolen or counterfeit goods, some with pure junk and you treat everyone with respect. I saw you buy something that had zero value for $20 because the lady was homeless. Don’t let the hate get to you. I watch your channel because you’re a good man, because you show everyone respect, because you’re honest. Keep up the great work!
So what don’t worry about what people says Pete. U have employees, rent and other expenses to pay month in month out. Love ur channel. Please keep putting up contents. Oh I am happy u made some profits.
