Not well. Our pice of jewelry was on display in the store for a while. After a few months the owner called to let us know that a customer had made an offer on it. The price was lower than the minimum price we had set however after some deliberation we told him we would accept the offer. When we picked up the check it was issued for $500 less than the agreed-upon amount. When questioned about the amount of the check, Frank "remembered" offering us a lower amount. Don't trust this man. Agree to nothing over the phone; make sure to obtain EVERYTHING in writing!!
Description of Work: We placed an inherited piece of jewelry in the store for sale on a consignment basis.

Response from MAGMA GEMS
There is no counter-offer. The members ask me to sell a piece of jewelry for them, which I agreed to for a commission. After a long period we got an offer. I called the members with the offer. They agreed I took NO commission. When the member picked up the check, they thought it was for less than we offered. They simply just misunderstood! This is a perfect example of greed in our society. I did these folks a favor finding them a buyer for a semi-precious stone that was given to them. I tried for months to sell it. I kept it safe, clean & insured while in my possession. I usually get 10% commission when I sell on consignment. I got an offer on their stone. They agreed, took the check, then told me they wanted me to make something else for them. I sold this for them for free. No commission – Never Again!
