I STARTED USING THIS AUCTION HOUSE ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO WHICH I ALLOWED THEM TO LIST MY ART AND ANTIQUES IN THREE SEPARATE AUCTIONS;

AUCTION ONE

I GAVE THEM 10 ITEMS AND ONLY 1 ITEM SOLD AT OR JUST ABOVE THE LOW RESERVE

AUCTION TWO

I GAVE THEM TWELVE ITEMS AND ONLY FOUR SOLD AT OR JUST ABOVE THE LOW RESERVE

AUCTION THREE

I GAVE THEM TWENTY ITEMS, BUT BEFORE THE AUCTION I DECIDED NOT TO GO THROUGH THEIR AUCTION AND I DEMANDED MY MERCHANDISE BACK,

THIS IS WHERE ONE OF THE ITEMS WAS NOT RETURNED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE, BECAUSE THE FIGURENE SUBMITED FOR AUCTION WAS MUCH LARGER AND MORE REFINED

THEY FOUND A SIMILAR THEME OF THE STATUE AND SWITCHED IT WITH MY BEAUTIFUL PEICE OF ORIGINAL ART, WHICH WAS VERY LARGE FOR ITS KIND, RARE AND AWESOME, I REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE SMALLER AND POORER REPLICA BACK FROM THEM

HE TELLS ME SEND ME A PICTURE OF IT, JONATHAN WOULD THAT MAKE IT GROW? I ASKED HIM, HE COULD NOT ANSWER

THE REASON I REMOVED THE ITEMS FROM THE AUCTION WAS FOR SEVERAL REASONS;

    I WAS BRINGING IN MORE PEICES FOR REVIEW BEFORE THE AUCTION AND ENTRUSTED TO LEAVE THE ITEMS WITH JONATHAN FOR REVIEW, HOWEVER I LEFT WITHOUT GETTING A RECEIPT FOR MY THREE SMALL PAINTINGS, ONE WATERCOLOR, ONE PRINT AND ONE MINIATURE INK,

A WEEK LATER I ASKED ABOUT MY PAINTINGS AND I WAS TOLD I NEVER BROUGHT SUCH ITEMS IN,

THIS IS WHEN I ENDED MY DEALINGS WITH THIS AUCTION HOUSE, SO YOU SEE HE DID NOT EXPECT ME TO ASK FOR MY AWAITED AUCTION PEICES, WHERE HE WAS GOING TO SELL THAT FIGURENE FOR TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS AND KEEP MY PRICELESS STATUE FOR ANOTHER BIGGER AUCTION OR SELL IT IN HIS MOTHER'S ANTIQUE STORE, WHICH INCIDENTLY HAPPENS TO BE LOCATED NEXT DOOR TO THE AUCTION HOUSE

2- FURTHER AND MORE SUSPICIOUS WAS WHILE WATCHING THE AUCTION ON THE INTERENET IT SHOWED HOUSE BIDS, HOWEVER THIS AUCTION HOUSE HAD NOT A LIVE AUDIENCE

BEWARE FROM THESE PEOPLE THEY WILL LIE AND CHEAT YOU WITH A STRAIGHT FACE
