I scored what I thought was an authentic Chanel purse, but since I was not 100% sure, I decided to take it, along with a Dooney & Burke purse, a Hostess dress from the 60's, and finally a 60's poster to Orlando Vintage. I learned about this little whole in the wall store via some Google searches. The Orlando Sentinel had written an article about them, and how TV companies would buy attire from them for their shows/movies. They sell vintage clothing, jewelry, hats, ties, etc. When I took my items there, the young girl took inventory of my items, and I was given a receipt. I was told that the owner would call me if interested. I week later I get a call, and I'm told that owner had passed on my items. I informed the girl that I would pass by there on Sat to pick up my things. When I get there, the girl hands me the poster, but then claims that she cannot find the bag with my other things. She goes to the small back room, "looks" for it, and comes empty handed. She tells me that the other girl that works there must have moved them. She pretends to call her co-worker, but she never picks up. I advised her to take a few days to find it, and to call me.
finally a week passes, and I called them. The girl continues to stick with her story that they cannot find it. She claims that it must have been misplaced during a move in progress. I let her know that I need the items, and that she can take a few more days to look for them. A week passes and she calls me, tells me no luck, and proceeds to offer me $20. I asked her if she thought that I was a hobo, starving, or a crack head. This last part really annoyed the heck out of me, and I tell her to take a few more days, and that my items have to be found.
Today I spoke withe owner, and she also claims lost. I told her there are only three employees there, in a small hole in the wall, and that my items better appear. She says, they will not because they are lost, and I end the conversation with the threat of going to the police, better business bureau, and finally social media.
To me, they are playing some type of game. I'm thinking that other people take their things to sell, they then indicate not interested in the hopes of the owners just asking them to keep the things. if they receive push back like what I gave them, they then claim lost.
What would you do?
Here is the Chanel
