I have a comment breaking down the owners ROI based off of his own words of what he could get for the items and the dude was undercutting himself of the owners "I try to double my money." By trading items in the store, the owner was making a 200% return. Tripling his money.

Golf is different because different materials are introduced. Probably couldnt get any comps, the seller was right, he had all the accessories and a perfect bow and he had all the extras as well.

      The jerk kept saying Pete wasn't being fair. Sorry sir, pawn shops work on profit, not loss, and your old unknown brand bow and arrows are not going to fly off the shelf the next day.

      Pawn shops by design aren't fair. They pay you below market value for quick cash/convenience, then sell for 80%-100% market value as they have the time and space.
      There's nothing wrong with negotiation, just because Peter has a UA-cam channel and a cute cat, doesn't mean this is some reality show where the "good guy" (Peter) gets exactly what he wants 100% of the time and if he doesnt get what he wants, the customer is the "bad guy".

    It must be so hard to have to argue with people who don't like the money you offer but are adamant about wanting you to buy their stuff. It's tough because some of these people are clearly in need of money, and are coming to grips with the fact that their possessions aren't worth enough to get them out of their debt.

    • @ohyea456
      @ohyea456 6 днів тому

      Assuming you would sell for half of retail...
      Bow, we'll say $150 as discussed, even though he said it retailed for 600.
      Arrows $40x2 sets
      Sling $20
      (another accessory I'm not sure what it was but mentioned at $15)
      Cases were never talked about price wise... we'll assume $20x2 as I think the guy mentioned them being $40
      (not sure if I missed something, like the scope, but they said pass on scope so we'll not mention it so they got it for free in the end)
      Total is $305 meaning profit of ~$150 assuming you pay 50% of these talked about prices and stick to doubling what you buy it for.
      He said the buck was $150, meaning he paid around $75.
      The other thing the guy wanted was another $50... that means $25.
      If he gave the two items... essentially he's paying the man $100 cash, then turning around and selling everything for $305.
      In total through the trade, he makes $205 off of $100.
      This is a 200% increase.... "There's no money for me to make"
      If a person walks in willing to trade, your profit margin increases drastically. If he buys things looking to double his money (which I personally think is a scam itself as general returns on stocks range from 3-12%) this man was giving him 3x his money. It was not a "great deal" for him as the owner claimed. It was worse than the cash deal. Sure, some of those prices may get negotiated down from buyers decreasing the profit... but if he already does that on 100% ROI... I think he can manage it on 200% ROI.

      I mean... he's okay. Some of the stuff he says is nice and all... but when it comes down to it, he's a pawn shop owner. It's not a very nice choice of career. You're buying things from people for far less than they are worth. TBH, I think I would rather have an asshole pawn shop owner than one who acts like he's doing me a favor. In this example, he says things like "I'm just trying to double my money" which is an insane statement if you really think about it. Hardly any industry makes double their money off of items they buy/sell. Also, the deal he made here nets him 200%, which is triple his money and he made it out to seem like he was getting the shit end of the deal. That's using the pawn shops prices he mentioned he could sell the stuff for. However, I would bet he tries to sell for more and lower the price over time if it doesn't sell.

PSE are a working mans bow so they sell all the time the cases could easily be sold too, arrows and the other shit will prolly be a loss but he is def making more than 150 on those three items alone that bow is selling for 200 all day and if it was higher up in the tiers of PSE bows 400-600 i get it he has to make money but at the same time old man wasnt wrong about anything he said he may be old and losing his touch but i can bet in this dudes prime he was talking you out your lunch money he never folded once on his goal he came in with one goal in mind and achieved that goal so calling him stupid is ignorant on your part

Resale on them are far less than other brands for several reasons, including the fact that they are a mass market chain bow and they don't support parts on their models. To sell this to a customer, he will likely have to find someone that it already fits because the mods to change the draw length are no longer in production and if there are any problems down the road, the buyer will not be able to get parts. The arrows also having been cut to length for that customer may not even work for whomever buys it. He was spot on offering him $100 cash / $150 trade.

    as a guy who does archery not only would i know how to check a condition of a bow and the arrows. but i know the brand too PSE is a very high end brand known for their competition bows. the trophy ridge sight is for sure a cheaper sight but still good and gets the job done.. but with bows i would check the strings at least draw it back to check it all make sure its in good condition. also thats a single cam bow (one circle cam on the top there and a odd shaped cam where you get your let off from). honestly everything there as a set and to sell it as a set probably 500 buck case arrows release and broad heads. if strings are bad and im too afraid to even pull it back i would buy it for 100-150 because i know i have to put money into it to make it a good bow. if everything looks good ill buy it for 250. if i need to put ne strings d loop and everything i would sell it for around 600-700 for the set. just my take as a archer and someone who has decent knowledge of bows.
