We dont do consignment either..had a store owner ask me recently here in town...i just laughed..um no....maybe its becuase you steal everyones money and owe all your vendors $$$$$, including me!! She has been in business for over 15 years. Not sure how she stays in business (well i do know why..."snickers" ) But you need to really check refrences I think , talk to the other consigners they had and have now. Basically, do a reference check. You would be surprised how many scams and stealing is out there by business owners, its pathetic and sad. Crazzie, if you dont hear back, maybe make a call to the district attorney and have them make a courtesy call, it has worked for me in the past
