I often listen to the radio and I heard the Plaza Galleries commercial The commercial states that Plaza will make an offer on anything valuable and in some instances pay high cash for valuable items, ANYTHING VALUABLE, and they come to your home to appraise the items. Back in the beginning of August, I telephoned Plaza and spoke to Mr. Rosenbloom, the owner and gave him an idea of what I had to sell to them. He said he would get in touch with his appraiser and made an appointment for Lou (appraiser) to come to my house the same day I called Plaza. Lou took photos of all the items I had that could be worth something. I didn't know that there was a $100 fee for appraisal in my home, so I gladly gave him a check for the appraisal and Lou said it would take about 5-6 days to appraise and get back to me. Two weeks went by without a phone call, until I called Plaza to find out Lou was out of the office Lou called me after 2 weeks of waiting for a response. Lou said that my items were worth something each separately. What got my attention was what he said next, that in order for Plaza to make me an offer my items have to be sold to people who were interested and then pay me. One item which is a set of Hungarian Crystal glass set could not be researched since nothing could be found on it, and yet I found the stemware on the internet without a problem. They are liars since they don?t live up to what the commercial states. I asked for the return of my check and was told by one of the receptionists that the check was presented to the bank for deposit and that they couldn?t send me back the check. I got in touch with the bank and they told me that the check was NEVER DEPOSITED and that a STOP PAMENT was applied. To add insult to injury, they lied to me when I called them about returning my check. I WOULD NEVER EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN...They are liars and the only thing they got from me was NOTHING. The trip to my house was for nothing and now I have to sell my items by other means. Anyone reading this review, please think first before endeavoring to do business with this outfit.
