Today however, October 28, 2017, we stopped in to see if an instrument my husband had been eyeing a few weeks before was still available. The woman at the front shouted a hello at us. We made it politely clear that we were not in need of assistance and that we would ask her for her help should we need it. She then proceeds to follow us through the store SCREAMING at us. She asked several personal questions about our relationship she had no right to press us (total strangers) on. When I indicated that I did not want a gemstone ring she decided to SCREAM at us about diamonds and ask if we wanted to buy them. She was also following us very close, at a distance of no more than three or four feet, shouting the entire time.
Jonathan is not accurate. A very nice young man came in and sold a ring and ASKED for 900.00. We purchased it. We buy jewelry every day. The seller signs a paper indicating it is theirs to sell. There are laws in place that we abide by. I have been in business for over 16 years following the law. This young man was a friend of their son. He is accurate in that the ring was still in the safe and not out for sale because I did have some concerns. By law 15 days after we purchase jewelry, it can be sold. I had it for months just in case as it was a big ring. Any other store would have sold it immediately. He is lucky to have gotten it back. He should be thankful. Also this story is from years ago. Not many people are as lucky as he.
We had trouble when purchasing an item to find out it they had brought $20,000 ring for $900. Then claimed they did not know it was stolen. Saying they just got a good deal. Police took the ring. While standing there waiting with the police another customer came in claiming they had his stolen goods.
She then continued to scream at my husband and offer him sports memorabilia that he did not want and was not looking at. He was very clearly examining the guitars while I basically cowered and tried to calm down after being pursued by a shrieking madwoman through the store. The instrument was not there and, even if it had been, neither he nor I were willing to give the store a cent given the alarming behavior of the staff.
My husband and I have been to this shop several times. The employees have, in the past, been extremely attentive. Attentive to the point that they follow you around the store chatting. I'm a generally introverted person who likes to browse in peace so it was off putting to me. However, I wrote it off as a personality clash.
Some may have had a good experience here but I most certainly did not. The older crazy blonde woman (maybe the owner) doesn't care about helping find you the right item or the perfect gift. She only cares about making a sell. Understandable... it's a business, but itd be nice to have compassion. She couldn't care less if she cheats you out of $400. Trust me, I know. I don't recommend this place.
I have been a customer here for years, I had stumbled into the store a bit accidentally we didn't really know what it was but at the time they had been across from the bus station next to the antique store. On this particular day it was very cold outside and I had my rats with me. Not many people would be so understanding to have a random person stumble in carrying a bunch of rats Lol. However the staff and owner of the store where beyond amazing and understanding entirely helpful, we wound up buying and putting things on layaway from 360's to a PS3 to a point then when I was getting engaged I couldn't think of a better store or better people to share that experience with so I proposed in the store to my fiancee at the time. The people who work here are entirely trustworthy, absolutely amazing, very kind, caring understanding and honest. I love this store and hope to continue to have many future purchases which I am sure I will.
Even as I was all but running out of the store the harpy followed us shouting about god alone knows what. I just wanted to be out of that shop. We will NEVER shop in this place again. There are dozens of better jewelers and antique/pawn shops nearby, run by professional, polite staff. I recommend any of those (literally any). They CANNOT be worse than this place.
I was so shaken that I all but ran to the back of the store where the musical instruments are kept in hope of avoiding her/checking on the instrument my husband was interested in. The woman continued to SCREAM about items that we had made clear we did not want as I obviously fled. I finally had to shout at her (twice, to make myself heard over her non-stop attempts at selling us unwanted jewelry at full volume) that she stop it. I have NEVER had to shout at a sales associate to get them to simply leave me be.
