Fontaine's Auction Gallery

unknown

This auctioneer removed every item from my store to his gallery for auction. The purpose of the auction was to sell off the entire contents of my inventory due to my health problems. I helped him identify each item on the list, removed. As the auction was held online as well as in his gallery, I was horrified to discover that he had not accurately identified most items, and did not put an accurate value with each item as is normally done for online auctions. He put $1 for most. I spent hours making changes on my computer and sending him those plus I drove the 5 hours round trip to his gallery and corrected the list and values for everything wrong. He promised to make those changes for the online description and values but never did. (It was too late to change the printed catalog) He stopped selling after a certain number of lots. Just quit bringing the lots up for auction. This action was never discussed previously! Then he charged me for returning everything unsold and there were so many broken items as returned. It broke my heart. Never never use this auctioneer!
