Zero professional ethic…read more Hi everyone. I have bought last week a purse through Etsy. While my transaction was being processed by Etsy (it can take up to 48 hours to prevent any frauds), Joel decided to cancel it because he realized he could make extra $ with my purchase. My transaction has been clear and approved by Etsy on Friday. I needed to change the delivery address on my package because I was going to be out of town and I wanted to make sure someone would get the package. Instead of helping me,he repeated me that I was a high risk customer, and that I was suspected of Fraud, and so that he had to cancel my purchase. Once again the transaction has been approved by Etsy. I really wanted my purse and was waiting for it for a week while I have contacted Joel to tell him that I could show my credit card/ ID/ FaceTime with him to prove that I was honest. He told me he could not do anything and that her consigner took back the item, because she was not trust me. In reality, he cancel my sale because he realized that maybe he could make more money, because the purse still on sale for more than originally priced ($750 to $1200). Joel waisted my time, had been very dishonest with me while I was trusting him. I would have prefer him to tell me the truth. Also be careful fox, he started to be cold when I asked if could return the item in case the authenticity company was suspecting a fake. This company is opportunistic, untruth-wordy, disloyal and please check for the items background, history and authenticity. Of course Joel blocked me from his Facebook page, and I guess he does that with all his unhappy customers. In that case it is easy to have a good rate!

They run a variety of auctions throughout the year from high end to the dude next door variety. There is something for everyone. They make it easy to bid online if you cannot be present. Shipping costs are reasonable and auction costs are in line with industry standards. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It is a must to drop by and peak at the next group of auction items when in the Thomaston area. Their marketing campaigns are clever and epic as well. I have giggled aloud a few times when reading the emails.

I was looking to expand my collection of rare coins.

The selection this store had was outstanding wether you are looking for Tiffany Jewelry, Vintage Clocks, Fine Silver or Gold Jewelry, War Relics, or Coins. Additionally, he was willing to give me a great deal on the coins if I bought more than one of them. I would highly recommend going here if you are looking for rare and vintage coins, or just browsing around looking for something to do.

Buyer beware. I engaged this company to do work for me, it took a very long time. The time was not…read morein delivery but ordering. I have all receipts and correspondence. I received incorrect chairs which were very expensive. The back cushions were wrong and the measurements were incorrect. She claims the were correct although any and all correspondence say otherwise. She will not make it right, I have not received my sofa. My feeling is she did not confirm with the design house that they got corrections since both things were wrong on the chairs and the sofa. Hoping to not have to change the cushions, she responded that the style I wanted was not graceful. Insulting client, bad form. I cannot tell you how many conversations we had about the cushions and measurements of the chairs. Probably best to use other decorators In town to that stand behind their product. This company is highly unprofessional.
