Ophthalmic technician here. The Keratometer is still used today in offices. It’s mostly used prior to cataract surgery. It doesn’t puff air, but that is also still done tho. The air test is to check the pressure of your eye to make sure you aren’t developing Glaucoma among other things.
I just had my eyes checked a couple of months ago and the eye puff test was used. I always wondered why. Thank you for letting me know.
I get one done every time I get an injection 💉 in my eye 👁️ and every 3 month check up
Came here to say this, They numb my eyes now and press the stick against them.
Just had one done this morning. After hearing the guy, I checked “eye puff test ban” in Google and nothing came up.
The eye test is mainly to tell if a patient has got Glaucoma not developing…. I have been an Ophthalmologist for over 10 years so I think I know what I am talking about
People are buying what they need and not what they want.The government keeps telling us how great thing are going.
The economy is great by all measurements. Manufacturers are gouging the public and reaping all time record high profits. Blame them, not the government.
its the economy, i myself only buy necessities thats it
The economy is great. Manufacturers and suppliers are price gouging so things are over priced but the economy (gross domestic product, the stock market, jobs) is the best it’s been in years.
I'm a casual ebay seller, and I can't give anything away. Very slow.
I'm in Australia, and people just don't have spare money with the high prices.
And in oz, high postage.
I think people are holding on to their money, more now than ever, because of the financial state this world is in. Everything is costing so much more, than even a year ago, and no end in sight.
It's fortunate we live in the US, which is doing the best financially than anyone else in the world
Lol if your a dr or something maybe but blue collar workers not at all only the fortunate
@@karenfyhr2363 All i'm hearing from u.s. is times are hard. Same here in australia, prices for everything up by %100 -%200.

Just remove the tag completely on the bag, that’s just weird to sell it to someone that could be a creep, when that bag was on the curb to be trashed
These guys love taking trash off the street, giving it a coat of paint n selling it for hundreds
lol right dude trying to say call her back get a signed pictured lol like why tf would she go through all that for you to make more money
@@ts9216 he was a creeper himself, wanted a reason to call her again
Check out Ryan 12:10.
"I was hoping that was one of those Blue Cross blue shields." Then he gives a side eye to Peter.
Is that Ryan asking for health coverage from his employer?
LOL nice catch. either Ryan just being facetious or could be for real with that little smirk lol
I deliver beer, a commodity believed by many to be recession proof. But let me tell you, when what used to cost 11.99 now costs 19.99? Sales are in freefall.
Online sales have been horrible for me as well and I'm in the diecast world.
With the weirdos today you should remove the tag totally. I would hate for some crazy to show up at her address and do something bad
TBH I find the whole idea of this a bit creepy - does the expression “what could possibly go wrong?” not come to mind?
what tag you guys talking about
23 percent inflation since 2021 - interest rates all time high - gas prices soaring, energy costs - and a summer coming promising to be yet again the next hottest summer on record - A/C ain't cheap - where do you draw the line when you have to shut down buying only? seems that is where it's headed...
Thanks Biden! 🤬
You're a slow one I see. Trump left office in 2021. Inflation soared cause of his record free welfare money giveaway and horrible decision making. @@EricTheMadMan

Hey Peter, we live in Arkansas and we do a little resell on the side! It seems right now, most people are buying more of the stuff that's a necessity rather than collectable things! Gardening tools, tillers, anything really that's useful in this area are hot items right now! Of course it might be a little different in the Chicago area where you're at! God's Blessings on You and Your Family!🎉
I brought a shoe box full of corgi and matchbox cars for £20 sold them on ebay individually made £580 pounds that was a great find 😊
The knife is a good example of why you "don't" restore antiques by yourself. (Just saying for the community's sake.)
lol.... guy people gotta start somewhere. why did you put " " around don't lol???? Youre a good example of why people are losing skills
@@jacobg6528 You don't need to be so insulting. You don't understand, improper restoration of antiques. Devalues the antique, it reduces the value. If you want to learn how to restore things, don't start on antiques. 😆
Best to leave antiques the way you find them, as messing with them devalues them. Even expert's can devalue them 'it should be a criminal offence for people screwing up antiques'
Hi from Riverside California, home of the homeless
Why are you homeless
That's SF an Berkeley actually
@@lonerider5315 I'm not homeless, it's just the saying around here, there are a lot of homeless on the sidewalks in the inner city, like 100% more than 4 years ago, and now the nickname for Riverside is the 'home of the homeless'
IE here too

Love these videos! Wish you could post every day, but I know you have to keep the quality up
Sometimes on eBay if you sell a restricted item you'll get notified by eBay days or even weeks later that you sold a restricted item. They let you keep the money, but it reflects on your account. You aren't necessarily out of the woods just because it sold before eBay notified you that it was a restricted item.
Many people are holding on to their money and not spending it on used merchandise. But I will say precious metal old coins are selling like crazy, so the coin dealers are doing well
FYI you buy used merch to save money.
Lady selling lego for half price. Peter was like Okay😂
When I experience a slow down as a seller it makes sense because also as a shopper I'm not buying many personal items recently.I just think people are really becoming more cautious of what they buy and how much they spend on non essentials.
The state of everything is so messed up people are not spending because food and bills take up their whole income now.
BS. Inflation is high because people are spending more than ever. Read
@@bookooc5605it must be nice to be a gaslighting demo-rat who refuses to accept reality. This inflation is purely on your dear leaders shoulders. Burden is killing the economy. Worst president ever.
@@bookooc5605 what? Inflation is high because they keep printing more money and shipping it everywhere. Our national debt is out of control .. they came love 6billion dollars overnight but you bet they know when you spend 600$ to tax you on it ... Stay asleep if you want but I'm done being taxed 4 times on every dollar made
@@PopcornH3 That's not how economic aid works, they don't just print more money and send it to places. Not sure how you're getting 4 different taxes on your income either, seems like you might need to take some kind of financial literacy course or something.
@@Gordo525 basic ways the government steals your money. If you earn it, income tax
If you spend it, sales tax. If you live somewhere, property tax. If you save it, inflation tax. If you own a good business, profit tax. If you give it away, gift tax. If you die , inheritance tax. Tell me again how you don't pay that much in taxes... Please also do some research and then tell me again Justin t isn't sending money away to foreign countries while letting our veterans suffer and ppl in our own country left homeless and hungry .not to mention letting in illegals and funding them to be here... On a positive note crime is down in other countries. (Lol get it .. because it's here now). please explain how none of that is true and how I need more government schooling.
Thank you great videos.
Pete from a middle class person in small town NY state, we are in the biden depression only supported by credit cards. I think people will start defaulting on payments as this year goes on. I think we are in for a few years of downturn before we start recovery no matter who gets elected this fall. You have said it yourself in the past few months people are coming in selling stuff to pay monthly bills.
In addition to people spending less on non-essential items overall tax returns are down the last couple of years. My tax preparer said more people are owing money or are getting significantly less on their refund. So the tax season bump in pocket cash is not what it used to be...

Owner, Of a Small DealerShip in Kansas Sales have slowed a good bit in my field as well reselling of cars!
Im in the trucking business and reselling. Its a blood bath in trucking freight market. Ebay sales are slow also
The freight businesses has been in one of its longest and deepest ressesions ever. This started before Trump left office.
@@joshuahayes27it got really bad when burden attacked fossil fuels and he’s only made it worse.
Honestly, people were buying more during covid in my business. Now I think people are spending money on travel and vacations instead of stuff. It's revenge travel after covid...
Well yeah, stimulus cheques and lack of other spending opportunities because everything was shut down would make people spend their money on other things that they wouldn't normally buy. The travel thing is just dumb though, no one is going on "revenge travel" 2 years after all quarantines have ended.
Calling the actress the first time wasn't really that cool. It's one thing to contact someone through a publicist, listed business email on Instagram, or some means intended for public use. But, using found personal information isn't right.
The guy's idea to contact her again and try to get a signed photo is absolutely not ok. It doesn't matter who calls. It may come across unnerving if she knows that multiple people have her contact info.
Also, the tag should not be sold with the bag, even with the number crossed out, the address is there. That's not ok either. Also, some creep could try and use a light to look through the cross out. Just ditch the tag.
Thats nice and all, but why ain't you saying this to her parents who sold the tag with the bag? oh yeah thats right, no one cares, not even Becky herself from the sound of it
Considering that based on her imdb page, her largest role ever was as a series regular for 2 seasons on a show that was on almost 20 years ago & other than that she has only been one of those characters of the week in single episodes on a handful of popular shows, 99.9% of people likely wouldn't even know who she was if you told them. I can't imagine she has any serious fans that would buy the bag just because she owned it once. Chances are, if you left the tag on, the new owner wouldn't even look at it twice before ripping it off. No disrespect to her, but it would be a stretch to call her a celebrity, as I would be surprised if she gets recognized in public more than once or twice a year. From my experience, those kinds of "celebrities" (to call them D-List would be generous) are usually excited to be recognized, as it makes them feel like maybe they are actually as important as they believe they are in their own minds, even if only for a moment. I mean, it's not even like she was the star of the TV show she was a regular on 20 years ago.....she was just one of the supporting characters on 2 of the seasons, which means she is probably the 10,000th most famous actress alive today, double that if you count female influencers as actress, which I absolutely do not.
Oh....and if you really want a picture signed by her, you could probably just reach out to her publicist/agent & say you are a huge fan & she would probably be happy to provide one, considering that you would probably be the first person to have asked for one in 10 years. Popular celebrities often have a problem with those kinds of requests bc they know the people asking are likely often doing so in order to then try to sell them on eBay, whereas if somebody is asking for a signed pic from her, she can be fairly confident they aren't asking bc they want to try to resell it, considering that if you listed it for $5 on eBay, it might not even sell.
ebay seller here. jan and feb were awesome, march was ok. april was terrible, down 61% from last month
With the bag, forget the woman in some tv shows and sell it on its own merit. It looks like a canvas A frame rucksack. which are great for hiking and long distance, and last forever. Way more comfortable and reliable than crummy backpacks,which dont give back support as this does. They also handle any weather.
Have you thought about politics? You have my vote. 😀

Hello there. I live in Ireland been dealing with vintage audio for past 15 years. Before covid and during covid time all was nice everything was selling. Now it's dead in the past two years nothing selling.. I gave up and and put all to storage and I wait for better times.
New subscriber here for the past few weeks. Im enjoying the videos. Honey is such a beautiful cat 🐈
Keep up the great work
It's been slow all across-the-board in regards to sales. I've only sold two items in the last three weeks. I even posted a sale with a discount coupon.
The economy is sick, things are just starting to get tighter.
Utah, wassup
I vote to not contact the actress anymore and to just sell it without the tag.
I have an antique booth and this April has been a most dismal month for sales. Hope this is not an indication of what our summer is going to be.
That keratometer measures the curvature of the front of the eye. The manual one like that is not used as often as the automatic measurements done on an autorefractor. I'm in school to be an optometrist and I've worked in the eyefield for 12 years. I'd love to help with info if I can!
The puff test is not illegal or out of fashion. It is still the only way to measure eye pressure without touching the eye...and some patients prefer nothing touches that. The keratometer measures the curvature of the cornea which is a major contributor to astigmatism.
These are still used but they take a little bit of practice to get confident with measurements. The manual keratometers are also helpful if you have certain end-stage diseases where we can't use the automated keratometers.
I sell used atv parts on eBay and just had a really good month for April. I've been getting a lot of new parts listed, and this is usually a good time of year. I know it's not similar merchandise, but people are still buying.
Hey PETER 😗😗
I came up with an IDEAR ..
How about 1 time a MONTH ,Do a raffle
Whenever somebody buys something Not when you buy something .when somebody else buys something they get a raffle ticket for free more tickets. The more chance They get and then raffle off something of the month you have on display you could win this that should increase something different.
Good luck

My new favorite channel 🤩
My ebay store has 12k items listed. Its dead. I have less than half the sales i used to have when i had half the inventory. People simply dont have discretionary funds anymore.
I enjoy browsing internet inventory. But if I come across an account with 1000's of items, it's just not possible. Inventory of 100 or so is much more imaginable.
peter , the backpack is a ww2 us army mountain pack. there should be a date on the inside flap.
That wheeled sports sign was cool
I have one of those eye exam units but mine was made in the 1920’s
I'm not really into reselling. But I collect Trading Cards and Video games. The value of my stuff is slowly dropping, and less good stuff is showing up at the thrift stores recently
Thank you for sharing from Canada love ya bud keep it going
we have an ice cream shop in the northeast.. the entire chain and all restaurants we visit are slow.. covid money dried up, inflation kicked in
edit: we give deals to regulars and donations to schools/hospitals when possible.. keeps our name out there.. 300 kids w/ 600 parents donation for $700 dollars and maybe 300 parents share the experience with friends or visit us? Great if able to afford it.
You can put something like that on Mercari, medical devices are not restricted
You should have bought that wheeled sport sign. A lot of people that do extreme sports would love to have that
Another great video pete ! On the bag. Imo the cell# and address should be blacked out. The signature is the only valuable part .
That can opener has to be one of the most ridic 'gadgets' in history.
. It’s good to see potential value even with a newly devised market for the item ( your neon projects and Ryan’s riffing etc. ) , the gentleman seller has that. A buyer has more constraints. Enjoyed the footage and that eye magnification would be too weird for me. 😂 or anyone I suppose.
Before looking closely at the thumbnail, at first glance I thought this guy was facing off with Peter staring him down haha
Different country but for your sales interest the latest figures indicate all categories of sales over the last quarter have decreased between 0.1 to 3.0%. The one category that has risen in whole percentage numbers is food. This is for Australia. Background briefly: Mortgage rates are variable and have continually risen over the previous few years causing household stress. Wages are static. Inflation which earlier in the year appeared to be static or falling has suddenly increased causing speculation the Reserve Bank (like the Fed) will not cut rates may have one to three increases this year, hence banks will raise mortgage rates. The net result is discretionary spending is tightening. For me it is delaying my return to operating ecommerce sales as my stock falls into the discretionary spending category except for the education sector. Previously, I have had education sales to all USA states and Canadian provinces, plus of course Australia & NZ. I hope this gives just a little insight as to what is happening in OZ. Whether it extends/extrapolates to the US I have no idea.
I'm not in resale, but I work at a high-end retail nursery. This is supposed to be our busy season, but we're WAY slower than last year.... I think it has to do with the economy + being a presidential election year. Honestly, I hope things pick up!
Passing up hand tools is not a good idea. Some are worth lots
idk when they made that spooky ass puffing thing illegal but last time I had my eyes checked they absolutely made me do it . that test used to scare me so bad as a kid that id lie to the dr about my eye being open lol obviously he could tell since he could see my eye. even had me stressing as an adult
Love the content pete
I don't have a resale business but I do run a store and usually around income tax time we do really good but lately all we have is our regular sales nothing extra like we usually get at this time
People have wised up, as there's only so many times you can rip people off. Some of the prices you've give people for their stuff has been nothing short of daylight robbery.
That is a rucksack, mostly used by the United States Army from back in the day. Very old. Came across a bunch of them when I was still in the army in an old connex container. Maybe a little money in that, prolly 30$ at most.
I'm a Facebook Marketplace Reseller (got kicked off eBay in 2019 lol). Sales have taken a hit the past few months. Haven't been selling nearly as much as I was this time last year. Economy is very weird right now. People that normally spend their tax dollars on "stuff and vehicles", aren't doing it this year. Very odd.
I'm not a reseller but I think people are saving their money for gas and bills.. I mean it just crazy how much stuff cost. A brand new pickup is $70,000 to $90,000 depends on what model they are looking for.
@robbylake3784 I'm my area, nobody saves. Once they get a few dollars in their pocket, they go spend it. But I have noticed a ton more people getting into "medical w33d". Alot of people's money is honestly going to the new legal drug. Even grandma's are smoking that stuff. The economy is real bad
I own a small business and things have been very different for us to. Talking to other small business in my area they are experiencing the same. And it’s all kinds of small businesses.
Maybe people are spending their money at Cub’s games. They’re doing pretty well so far
In some states it's a law to take any medical equipment without the proper authorization, and resell it be careful always
The forecast for Q2 into Q3 is slow sales in general with exceptions in categories related to Activities and experiences, vacations, outdoors, home improvements etc. The tax refunds are long gone except for those that waited until closer to the deadline who mostly owe ! Election years are always unpredictable but in general the wallet gets tight !
The gorilla glue is supposed to bubble out like that. It didn’t react. Good luck getting it apart again
Slower than normal for my eBay. There’s for sure something going on with the economy.
The resale market is flooded. Plus so many people I know dont need or want anymore stuff and are downsizing. There is too much stuff. My friends and family just want to live comfortably, be with friends and family and travel---no more stuff!

Shelby County Ohio here. My ebay sales are down over 90 percent this year. I have never once had a year or spring start off this bad. I sell on whatnot and amazon also. I buy storage units and even hunt thrift stores and yard sales every day and ive never seen anything like this. The average storage unit around here the past 4 months is selling for around 800 to 1300 for a 10 by 10 to a 10 by 15. The last 3k ive spent on units alone since last month I have literally not made $100 back. Not including the disposal fees after donating what I could

April was terrible I didn't make one sale, now here is May 2nd a 19 dollar sale coming up, but so far for this month still slow. Last couple of months it really slowed down to now I'm not getting any sales. Ever since that 20 dollars an hour went into affect, some restaurants have closed their doors for good, others have filed bankruptcy. Folks are very upset about this. I have ask some people I know if they are getting the extra money, they are but now it's caused them to lose hours and days. So it's really not helped anyone, nothing but headache's. Or politicians should not be telling people how much to pay an employee, what happened to you get a raise on merits. This is bull shit. They are ruining our country.

I resell on Ebay and Marketplace and sales have been slowing rapidly since mid March for me. I'm a locksmith full time so I don't depend on the sales but I'm sitting on so much product that isn't selling and running out of room.
I have a small eBay store that I just started and at the beginning of the year I sold about $3000 worth of stuff in a couple months. And then I sold like literally almost nothing.
