Just take my money, old man. I don't even need the peeler.

Now this is how you sell a product, get the audience interested, demonstrate the capabilities, then tell them about it. This man knows how to sell to an audience for sure.

I got my peeler from him 15+ yrs ago for $5, still sharp as the day I got it after regular use. RIP dude.

this guy was amazing. I used to see him near my office in Manhattan. One day he would sell vegetable peelers, the next day it would be children's books. It was always the same reaction. he would draw a huge crowd and then people would just start buying. I saw a short news story about his life on CBS. He was actually quite well off financially, living in a beautiful place near Park Ave (and help paying for his children / grand children's college educations). He always worked for himself selling items on the street, for decades.

I really love the older generation of people how honest, diligent and hard working they were. Real role models. Never dependent on anyone for their livelihood, not even their kids.
