Negative marketing against us

AUTHOR: Zephyr - New York (United States of America)

I am contacting from Sadigh Gallery Ancient Art, Inc.  This posting has been brought to our attention, and as it is false and is misleading to viewers, we are filing a rebuttal against this claim.

We are a small family-ran company that has been in business for over 30 years in New York City, with a proper license.  Our gallery door is open to public.  Up to this day, we have never had any customers who came to sue or complain about the products we deal.  If customers are unsatisified in our products in anyway, we offer full return and refund policy.  

During summer of 2010, we suddenly started to encounter problem online where anonymous individuals are posting negative information about our business without proper evidence.  They have posted false information about our company history, taken images and articles without permission, and made various websites focusing on performing negative marketing against our business. When we tracked on of the postings, we discovered that the source came from one of our business competitors. 

Most of the negative information about us on internet, including this report, is form of business defamation and negative marketing by competitors.  This sort of work is highly misleading and not torelable.

sadigh gallery

AUTHOR: joe s. - freeport (United States of America)

 i purchased what i was led to believe was a pre columbian relic and while i thought it was awfully inexpensive for such an item i believed it to be real.then a friend and antique dealer said otherwise.i took it to another dealer who told me it was meant to look old but it wasnt old.that it the point of my letter it can be proven that even an art dealer can be fooled.michael sadigh the owner of the gallery heard my complaint was very apologetic and refunded me in full.if you think they made an error call them and they will fix the problem

Verified Real Purchases

AUTHOR: Christopher - (United States of America)

I've purchased several items from Sadigh and had them appraised after I saw these reports.

The expert (museum curator) appraised them at the same value (some more some less) than what I paid. If everything they sell is fakes, how would they be in business for so long and maintain an "A" rating with the well respected Better Business Bureau? When I'm not sure about a business, I check there rather than rely on online communities that are full of B.S.
