I also was cold-called by a broker for Galerie Concorde in January 2008. I was told of the amazing opportunities available in the same artists' (Maxx & Nieman) prints, and the accompanying stories as to how the works were obtained at bargain prices - death, divorce, and debt.
I purchased a few Peter Maxx pieces, then some Nieman works, and was told that they would be flipped around the time of the Olympics, since "Maxx is so hot right now!" The same appraiser (Juris E. Poruks P.O. Box 673, Snowdon, Que H3X 3X8) was used for all the works, and I questioned as to why the appraisals were not the same as the values being quoted to me. The broker had his lines down good, and an answer for every question.
I have yet to sell one piece back to the gallery, even though my pieces have also been in high positions on the database listings for some time now. When I call about the long wait, I am given a list of excuses, and also solicited to buy more pieces! They feed on one of our basic foibles - greed - and they do it well, very smooth operators. I would be very interested in joining a class action lawsuit, or contacting my state's Attorney General's office to see if they can do anything.

Please consider amending your original complaint.  The proper spelling of their name is "Galerie Concorde" - only 1 l. This would help anyone searching for information on these guys.
