I've noticed that this "business" is still in operation, and I feel obligated to warn the public…read moreabout his business practises, although it is currently under litigation in small claims court. I had a convenience store that was going out of business, so I had been advertising the sale of the store contents on Craigslist. Derek C. of DWC Auctions answered my ad pretending to be a past client of DWC Auctions, giving DWC Auctions glowing reviews. After finding this out, I realized that all of the positive reviews online were most likely written by Derek C. himself. Not knowing at the time that I was possibly being conned, I agreed to sell the contents of my store on an online auction held by Derek C./ DWC Auctions on February 19, 2018. According to the final paperwork, I was to receive $3,047.25 the next day. He gave me $300 with some story about his bank accounts being frozen until Monday, so I prepared a written agreement for the balance. I met him a week later to receive the balance of the money owed. He gave me $1,000, telling me his ICBC payments unexpectedly went through his account and that he'd have the balance a week later, having him sign a receipt with an agreement to pay me the balance on March 2, 2018. I phoned him repeatedly to meet on the agreed date for the balance and he would not answer or return my call until I phoned from an alternate number on the actual date we were supposed to meet, telling him I am considering taking him to small claims court because he wasn't returning my calls. I was expecting to get an apology for forgetting about our meeting, or an alternate date to meet. Instead, at that point he went into an over the top angry fit, telling me that he would delay paying me as long as possible. He told me I was welcome to take him to court. So having no choice, I filed a lawsuit against him in small claims court. He countered (in writing) with some libellous fiction about me stalking him and his wife/girlfriend whatever, asking for $5,000 in damages in a bizarre attempt to profit from the court system. The court told him he'd need to present any evidence to them and the police. He ignored their requests, as there is no evidence, Must be tough to gather evidence on something that didn't happen... As of this date September 30, 2018, I am still awaiting a judgement from small claims court for the balance due plus interest. UPDATE OCT. 13, 2018: This Derek person has been phoning/texting me for days with psychotic messages. Now he has placed my personal information on Google Ads to (in his mind I suppose) get "revenge" for the bad review. Note that he also did this to a previous reviewer, (Barbara Bird) it's the way he is I guess. Like the previous reviewer said, if you give him a negative review, he needs to lash out, get revenge. Bottom line, he sold my property in an online auction, he dodged my calls and didn't pay me the money owed. I give an honest review of my personal experience, this is what he does. It's truly like dealing with an immature little high school kid attempting to bully people into submission. I've posted some of the many texts he's been sending me. Very weird, very childish. Avoid this person/"business" at all costs.

I waited another two weeks but one was never issued and ended up having to call my credit card company to reverse the charges or I would still be waiting. Will never buy from them again. He responded to my negative Google review by telling me I was banned because I was impatient yet I had already told him I was done dealing with him. He now claims he had offered a refund and I had refused. Then he posted my home address on the review. To me that speaks volumes for how ethically he runs his business. I even now have all the original emails and billings that came to me from him which makes it hard for him to refute the truth. Stay away from this business at all costs. He unfortunately is one of those shady ones you read about

I have been buying and selling here for around 20 years . Thought I had a pretty good relationship…read morewith everyone ....well let me tell you a story . After my last purchase April 29 th I finally had enough . It wasn't the money it was the principal . After years of getting items that were not actually what was in the box or items where pictures did not show any damage or the true extent of the damage .Items that didn't work on and on like in the reviews I never had ever complained or even returned anything before. A lot of times I do not go preview the items . As this was so egregious I finally decided to question Joey as far as explaining why they couldn't mention or picture the fact that the oil panting I had bought appeared to have lost a knife fight . It had slashes all over the front In the paint and also had a 6 inch gash right through it . Of course I got the standard Did you preview ?But more of a gleeful one . I pressed the issue . Joey next stated to a different patron how I abuse auctions abuse auctions all over the lower mainland ... I asked him what he was talking about a few times as he walked by me to the storage warehouse .Finally it come out .... After 5 months of him acting like a total ass ,ignoring me , looking at me like he was ready to explode in anger I was clueless . I kind of thought maybe he just had personal issues..... but it was just about me and it finally came out as he came scurrying back ... THE MATTRESS ! THE MATTRESS ! I measure that mattress THREE TIMES THREE TIMES it was the right size. The mixture of joy/hate/anger in his eyes is truly unforgettable THE MATTRESS you ask ? Well I bought a new mattress Nov 12 it was a logan and cove frontier queen . When I fit it to the Malm queen fitted bed frame( I believe I also bought from big valley) it was maybe 3 -4 inches short I forget exactly but still short . I reported this and returned with no issue ..so I thought . I then purchased another queen on November 26 th from big valley to replace it . Partly my fault as I neve realized that Logan / cove actually make some of their mattresses a little shorter but still call them queens , also in my defense a seller should or might want to know this . I guess Joey had been obsessing over this for almost 6 months ,never discussing it with me. I measured it ...I saw it.... it was short .I did not lie My one return ever after all these years one that they accepted no questions .... Now I am some sort of lying cheat ? You be the judge Sure a lot of bad reviews on here ... My guess is the reason there isn't more is because pretty sure right after this one I will no longer be welcome .But like I said I had enough .Enough of all the BS ,enough of biting my tongue ,enough of pretending .I feel sorry for all the other great people and others I have encountered that work there. Like everyone else they all know , they all see it .We all just pretended not to . This is an auction where I once Sold an item where they put up three crappy pictures and never even removed it from the box . The same item shows up two auctions later with the exact same contents but laid out nicely with a wonderful photo spread and sells for a lot more ... Auction that repeatedly avoids taking pictures of items that have clearly visible and sometimes significant damage on items . Yet somone states in a review response 3 years ago the accusation is not true and " we always ensure to add additional photos of scratches , chips etc in any items being sold " ...my mistake I guess you didn't say knife wounds . An auction where it labels some items as tested and working but admittedly from a workers mouth all are not . An auction where Big valley's own auction items appear to been mysteriously bid up to more acceptable prices then sell , then the same item reappears sometimes with the exact same pictures a week or two later in the auction .Is there a lot of buyers that renege on their mattress purchases ? try search/ past auction/ mattress An auction where Mystery ( trash ) boxes are sold and probably received numerous complaints are finally removed . Responding to a negative google review you say you never look inside to see if what the seller says is true ????? Really ???? After selling them for almost two years ???? So this absolves you of responsibility ? This is only one example of each but you know what they say about smoke and fire .... All this was embodied in an email I sent asking for an explanation. I received no reply . Wild baseless accusations do nothing , but they do require a response . Here is my response
