Nicoles Estate Liquidation

This is no longer open! Their # is disconnected and after driving around the shopping center with no luck, we assume they closed up shop.

Not much in the way of actual large pieces of furniture. That which was appealing was a bit overpriced.

Nicole’s is a treasure trove; you never know what you’re going to find. The staff is always helpful & kind. One of those places you need to stop in weekly so you don’t miss a trick.

From Buyer perspective: They always have very neat things here– brand name items– ranging in age — vintage– antique to new– and the prices are pretty reasonable (outside of the purses they are selling for the same price new).
From a COSIGNERS perspective: BEWARE– TURN AROUND– I’m even condsidering calling the better business bureau. To start– they are very unorganized. They have pieces to go out just laying all around the back table– no ones name on anything– and NOTHING is computerized. Let me repeat that. everything is hand written — your name– the price– on a price tag and this is the ONLY way they have of tracking your items to be sold– selling– and sold. They «didn’t have time» to give me a sheet of everything they were going to accept the day I drove over an hour to bring my things there– and they told me to email them. I emailed 5 times over the next month– with no answer. Then I called. They said I should have gotten a contract and itineray when I dropped my stuff off. I told them I had my signed contract– and explained how they were «so busy» the day I dropped my stuff off and they told me they’d email it. No response. Put on hold. Never got back on the phone to me.
Fast forward 8 weeks when my cosignment was up. I called to see if anything was left (that didn’t sell) so I could come pick it up. Well, they told me they don’t have a list of my stuff and that I would just have to come look through the store and see if I see anything of mine. I told them that I don’t have that sort of time on my hands and besides– there might not be anything left so I’ll just keep looking around the store for what items? Then they told me to call them back in 1 week when they are done «sorting the tickets» (which by the way– if your item sells– they put the tag into a fishing tackle box type of container and then they «sort the tags» to see if they owe anytone money at the end of the month– which is completely done on faith and trust that the hand written price on the item is what they sold the item for.). So– they told me to «call back» in a week and they will have my tickets pulled to see if anything was left. I did. and was told the same thing «they are busy and don’t have time to look through over the tickets because there was over 100 tickets and there is «no way to find which ones are mine.» I asked them how they are going to eventually see what tickets are mine. They told me that they will look up my number from my item itinerary. I told them that I only had a contract number because 8 weeks ago they told me that they didn’t have time to do an itinerary list. Again, I was put on hold. No one got back to me. I called back. They told me to call again the following week and speak to the manager.
The following week I received a hand written list of my items with a price next to them (9 of my 11 items– so apparently I have 2 down there that I need to just «come look for» through all their stuff and their store front).
My final complaint– I gave them paintings– brand new items from Kirklands– still in the box– a few small pieces of accent furniture– and some brick a brack. Everything on the hand written sheet they sent me, they wrote sold for $ 3, $ 5, or a few items were even $ 2. I have a very hard time believing that some of the stuff I dropped off they only got that much money for (which the seller then gets 50% off) — so for 11 items I dropped off– estimated to be close to $ 300… I received a check for $ 20. 45.
BEWARE COSIGNERS. BEWARE.

This is a great resale store! If you are someone who has champagne taste with a beer budget this is the place for you. Walking in you will see that they have furniture, pictures, clothes, shoes, and kitchen wear.
I am an accessory queen, so of course I check out the glass cabinet with all of the nice purses and wallets. Including Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Coach, and Kate Spade. All at reasonable prices. They also have great shoes, Jimmy Choo, Michael Kors, Gucci, and more.
The Lady’s in the store are very sweet and helpful. I was thinking about getting a shirt and told the lady I already have a shirt very similar. She said, «well, if you already have it, you don’t need it.» She was more interested in my needs, as apposed to the store, love it!
I am only visiting Dallas for two weeks and I have already been to this store three times. And each time, I find something I did not see before. And I will probably be back before I head home.
