John, I am the store manager of an Ace hardware store. When we do our new planagrams and setup the shelves if the old in-stock products are not on the new planograms, we typically mark the prices down and after a while we skid all the stuff we don't sell and take it to auction. The majority of everything you received never left the store being purchased.

John, I'm also a knife guy. Case is owned by Zippo and they have a Case/Zippo museum in Bedford PA. Fun place to kill a few hours and tons of knives to look at.

Hey John! I'm a reseller & woodworker, just south of Baltimore. Now, you're seeing how we flippers actually make our money. We have to be SUPER picky about which pallets we buy, until we're at a scale where the dud pallets don't cut into our profits. Ace liquidation is a great program, & you got a great deal. Congratulations!

Ace Hardware is by far my favorite hardware store. Unlike the orange store they ALWAYS greet me and offer to help me find things. They are SO so nice at all 3 of the Ace Hardwares near me.

11:09 the cotton gloves under rubber gloves keeps your hands from getting all gross from sweating in the rubber gloves, wicks the moisture away.

I would like to see John's first time experiencing a Menards store. I always feel like I'm stepping through a time portal to a home improvement store from 1992 when I go to Menards.

Video idea, what tools could you get from a thift shop, secondhand / charity shop, estate sale, pawn shop? If you are just starting out, what should you look for vs avoid?

[markroper]

Ace is friendly AF!! People want to be helpful that work there!!! It is my go to for hard to find items for the they are well versed in outdoor cooking!!! Great video! Glad you won one!!

9:51 Sump pumps are in so many houses. You would severely limit your options. It is not a reason not to buy a house.

There is a hardware here in Australia called Bunnings Warehouse.... they literally sell EVERYTHING. Best part is when you have finished shopping there is a BBQ at the entrance that sells sausage on bread where you can put tomato/BBQ sauce, mustard or onion on it... (literally a delicacy here) if your not from Australia have a look at their website and they sell EVERYTHING!

Here in Canada, we have ACE Hardware and a similar store called Home Hardware. We also have Canadian tire, which are all of those same things plus hockey equipment, fishing and hunting gear, automotive parts, and tools and tires.

Got my preordered shop shades on Friday, wore them all day Saturday during a project, and they are literally the most comfortable safety glasses I’ve ever worn. I’m a safety snob and I will stand behind these. Awesome content as usual, and thanks for the shop shades!

The little shovels, rakes, etc. Would be good for kids. Like if they want to help and feel part of something their parents are doing. Idk i used to like doing that as a kid when my parents were planting stuff.

As someone that works for ace I can 100 percent confirm this video is real, often times when a customer returns a product because they either didn’t like it or used it for what they needed and were done, and the packaging is messed up. We just defective it so it can be sent back, and sometimes when we receive stuff, like in this case and it happens to have some slight damage. We just defective it and send it back. And if there’s a product we rarely sell, we will either mark it for free or just send it back.

I really like these pallet buys and I don’t know why! Keep em coming guys !!!

I haven't been to an Ace in 10 years. When I did go, I looked at their ads, and saw stuff I wanted, and they never had the items in stock at 2 different stores. Seemed pretty darn close to bait and switch tactics, because they always had a more expensive, similar item. Eventually gave up on Ace.

[johnnyb]

Ace rocks! And evidentially so does their pallets. Always fun to watch you open these pallets.

Would love to see you test the 10-in-1 type tools against single use tools to see if the multi use tools are worth it.

[cheyennecombs]

Ace is a great resource for projects. Pricey but usually very helpful.

I love Ace Hardware!
Go in, grab whatever you need, then usually 5 things you don't. Candy, soda, mine even has BBQ rubs!
