The Consignment Warehouse

We consigned some antique furniture with The Consignment Warehouse last July. I was told by Lorraine that some of the pieces had sold in August and that I should expect a check cut and mailed in September. What she failed to tell me was that Mike Pegler, the owner, had filed for bankruptcy. Not only did we not get paid for a beautiful turn of the century antique bed and side tables but we had to pay an auction house to get the rest of our furniture out of the store or the landlord would auction it off. We had filed a police report as well as contact the trustee for the case but since it was bankruptcy we wouldn’t receive any money. All I can say is karma will prevail and we definitely learned a lesson. But if he ever opens another store, trust me we will sue him

Mike Pegler is a thief. Plain and simple. The guy is a con man, thief who will take your money and never bother calling back. Do not do business here. THIEF!
Save yourself the frustration of trying to track this guy down. He lies, doesn’t return phone calls or emails. Basically a very shady character with no ethics. Run as fast as you can away from this place. Do not buy or think about selling any items with him unless you want to be ripped off royally. Mike Pegler is a thief.

i would give zero stars if i could. Please, please do not ever set foot in this place. They will basically take your furniture hostage. You will never be told when or if it sold or get a check sent to you unless you feel like calling a million times and being treated rudely and then the measly check they DO send (if you have the patience to hound them — will bounce!!!) What they do is say they marked it down after 60 days for instance, then they can pay you less & sell it for whatever they want… you have NO way to track it! If you have already consigned here, you will never see any $$ or your furniture again unless you get down there asap and reload it into your vehicle — reduce the price & use craig’s list (at least you will get paid something or give it away to someone you know). They are NOT HONEST and don’t deserve a dime earned on your goods. Tell everyone you know NEVER to SHOP OR CONSIGN HERE! I WISH I had checked Unilocal BEFORE I made the mistake of taking expensive media chairs to them…

DO NOT CONSIGN HERE!
YOU WILL NOT BE PAID.
You have been warned.
The owner, Mike, owes us around $ 2,500, which his accountant at the time said they were going to pay, 1 year ago…
We’ve filed our small claims lawsuit, see you on 7÷15÷2013 Mike!

I have had about $ 8,000 worth of furniture at The Consignment Warehouse in Oxnard since about February (note that their assignment agreement is not dated). In mid-​April, they told me that much of the furniture had sold and they would be sending me a listing of the sales, along with a check. It is now May 19 and I have not received a check nor an accounting. I have asked that they send an accounting via e-​mail. Not done.
Their website is down/​under construction for the last three months, so can’t e-​mail them or contact them other than by leaving a message by phone or driving to them. They say they will reply within 24 hours– don’t hold your breath.
I think they did a fine job on selling the furniture (if what they told me is true), but their accounting, etc. is soooo bad. I am wondering if I will even see any money or my furniture again.
Will be visiting them personally on Tuesday to see if I can get questions answered.
I would hesitate on letting them sell your belongings. They may get the price you agreed on, but communications is null and frustrating.
For an update — It is now May 29. After visiting the store on the 17^th, there is no way I can talk to the accountant as he/​she works from her home. Sales staff was very sympathetic, but couldn’t help me much, other than leave more messages for their bookkeeper. So after more than two weeks, no response! Web site still down, no way to contact them via e-​mail and obviously by phone as calls are rarely returned.
I’ll update again. Right now, if you want to sell your furniture, not a bad place. If you want to get paid — stay away!

I received an email from them in May saying that my furniture has sold and that I would receive a check for $ 390 the first of June. After 4 calls, I finally received a check for $ 139.50 on July 5^th. I have since placed 5 more phone calls to customer service to follow up on the remaining money. Per the sales department, all messages were HAND DELIVERED to customer service. I have never received a call back from customer service. Aside from Unilocal,my next call will be to the BBB.

The prices are a little high, however this is a consignment store… so they are in it to make a profit as well. I found a beautiful dining set here, ethan allen and in OK condition. The price tag was $ 1,100. I did not buy it today, maybe another day, but not too bad. The couches in this warehouse are tired and need to be fluffed up. The store was dusty… but they DO have high quality furniture in there for the most part. I think a lot of things were overpriced and a little worn, but it was fine for me. I will try the thousand oaks and westlake stores to find the right dining set for me. But I would come back here.
