When I wanted to sell my second-hand furniture, I decided to use the local secondhand store for convenience. The owner asked for pictures of my furniture which I duly submitted and which she approved for delivery to the store. It cost about $100-00 to transport the furniture to the store.
According to their contract, the owners have no responsibility at all to notify, advise or contact the client for any reason. They can do whatever they wish with your furniture. Let me quote: After a period of 90 days they can terminate the goods, without any notice. They can dispose or donate the furniture without notifying the client.
It is the client's responsibility to stay updated. I have been to the store many times, also called and left messages. I have never heard from them to this date. Last time I was at the store, it didn't seem as though they had sold any stuff. Potential clients beware - these are not trustworthy people!
