GovernmentAuction.com Worthless Jewelry w/ Fraudlent Appraisals Tehachapi California

Purchased what I thought was just a bit over $5000 worth of jewelry from GovernmentAuction.com in 2011 through an auction site called Proxibid, where they were selling their wares  I did do some research on the seller, but at that time I didn't uncover anything.  I knew the actual value wouldn't be as high as the appraisals, but that doesn't even come close to what the reality is.  Essentially, I bought a bunch of junk.

I stored it in my basement not thinking anything about it, but got a peice appraised recently and it was frankly embarrassing. Now I'm well past the window for a return, but will be looking into making a claim w/ Chase since I did purchase them with their cards and nthis is clearly not what I was expecting to be purchasing.

I spent $5020 on the jewelry, and after all the s/h, buyer's preiums etc, came out to ~$6200.  They are now on eBay, and I encouage anyone who reads this to not bid on their items.  Unfortunately with this company, you do not get what you pay for.
