New & Nearly New Thrift Shop

A great place to shop. I have furnished my whole house from here. The used appliances are guaranteed for 30 days so are a safe bet. If you are looking for a regular thrift shop where everything is negotiable, this shop is not for you. They usually don’t dicker much on their prices. Give it a try, you will be pleasantly surprised.

I hired the owner Bob Thompson to appraise some marital property located at my ex husband's house. I contacted him yet he continued to call my ex regarding my ability to make it to the scheduled times. Very unprofessional. After we finally got it all wrapped up I asked him how I should settle up (pay) him. He said "it's all been paid for by your ex." I expressed that that was not what I had understood. I understood that we would each pay for our respective appraisals. He again contended the ex was paying. Ok!



Fast forward a few weeks... I get a call from mr Thompson saying I owe him for the appraisal. I expressed that I would try and get by his shop. Well I forgot. I forgot a couple of times (I'm a busy single mom of 3 with some very active kids and I work full time.... I forget whatever isn't on my "list." Having already forgotten several times he calls me again. I apologized again for forgetting at which point he says I need to pay that night because he will be out of town for 2 weeks. He then goes on the threaten a late fee of $100 if I don't!! I am not accustomed to paying bills I have not received either electronically or by paper. Nonetheless this made me question his ability to conduct proper business transactions. I don't pay that night and instead call his shop and request they mail me an invoice by which I may pay via mail (since I do have a very busy schedule) he refuses!!!! Says that's not how it works and that I must come to his shop. Mind you.... I've never even stepped into his shop nor have I ever signed a contract or agreement to hire him. He came by default as a result of my ex having hired him.



I refuse to be bullied into paying something without having first been billed/invoiced. Who does that?!!!!! If this is how he conducts business all I can say is BUYER BEWARE!!!!!



PS I have an excellent credit score without a single negative item. I PAY my BILLS. The keyword being BILLS. And I will be more than happy to pay this one. Once received.
