Not honest

by Bouji at Citysearch

Yeah I have to agree with the other reviewers here. I bought a couch from Nick and when he delivered it, I asked him if he'd be interested in the couch in my current place that I needed to get rid of. I settled on a super low price cause I just needed it out of there and didn't want to deal with the hassle of it myself. Once loaded on the truck he then told me that he was not giving me that money but it would be on consignment and I would get it when it sold. Not at all what we discussed when the couch was upstairs in the house. Ridiculous. I chased him for the money for a few months and finally gave up and realized he had simply taken my couch.

Watch out big time

by CabinetMaker at Citysearch

Do not let this guy sell ANYTHING for you. If he owes you money, my heart goes out to you, you are in for a LONG wait and million reasons why he can't pay you.

• Pros: Neat stuff to look at
• Cons: Too bad he comes off as such a real person...................he's not.

YOU SHOULD PAY YOUR CONSIGNEES!

by AmberKazarien at Citysearch

SHAME ON YOU NICK! This explains why your quality of stock is more like the end of the weekend garage sale! If you are not paying the people who bring you furniture to sell for them - sooner or later the word will get around - and you'll run out of suppliers! OOPS! - You may just be too too late!

Clean up the place and get your reputation back on track. You neighbors all say the same as these reviewers about why your place has gone down hill. You don't pay your consignees - you're not the only game on LaBrea for consignment - I'll just go somewhere else too! AK

• Pros: Used to be a great place to find nice things!
• Cons: Dirty, Dusty, Dumpster quality & is getting a very bad reputation in the neighborhood!

Do NOT support this business - He BITES the hands that feeds him! HE'S A RIPPOFF!

I was also one of Nicks Victim's. I gave him the contents of my home and much of my business which included expensive props etc. I have tried to work with Nick as I am a very nice person. He sold my things and never gave me the money. I tried and tried but he keeps giving me the baloney that I have heard that he has given others. EVERY single time - I have gotten nothing - but the same old song and dance. I figure he ripped me off for at least $5000.00 in commissions. Hey Nick - when you want me to take off MY bad feedback - PAY ME WHAT YOU OWE ME - anyone that wants to know about NICK - contact me at www.LENNONstudios@aol "dot" com - otherwise - I'll see you in court! Anyone else - you want the truth - call me or email me. I have the paperwork Nick and I when I can finally get your served - I'll see your in court! As for the person leaving a review - As a paying customer - I'm sure Nick kisses your butt - but don't judge us who have been ripped off by him UNLESS you too have given him things on consigment and been paid for your merchandise!

• Pros: Odd things
• Cons: You are buying other peoples broken dreams!

Decent place for

by crazycanuk at Citysearch

Nick has been around for a long time and I've purchased things there for years. I decided to give him about 10.000.00 worth of antiques and collectables to put on consignment. He sold everything and I never recieved a dime! After checking around - I found that I am FAR from being alone. He is a dishonest as far as selling there. As far as buying? Well, if you want to buy items that are basically "stolen" (since he accepts consignments, but doesn't pay the owners) - then let it be on your consience! Me? Well - I may never see my money, but I'll warn EVERYONE to stay away from this dishonest man and his operation!

• Pros: Great for Props
• Cons: Stay away from consigning ANYTHING!
