DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!

I purchased a grandfather clock from Auction Depot in Ft Worth Texas during one of their online auctions thru Proxibid ( another one to stay away from). They never disclosed that the clock was plastic and that it did not work. I feel they ripped me off by not offering full disclosure about the item. Then they overcharged me for shipping.


When I asked for my money back the owner basically blamed me for the entire thing. Then the owner threatened me with a small claims lawsuit if I posted any reviews online about how horrible they are. He shouted at me on the phone to "shut up" and to "let him talk" He is a condescending and rude man.  He wanted me to send the clock back ( at my own cost) but after being threatened, and them ripping me off and overcharging the shipping (they charged me $99 later I found out it only cost them $69 to ship it , (they got to pocket another $30 from me plus the $21 buyers premium they charged! ) ..I felt like they would just keep the clock to re-sell and I would never get my money back. I told the owner I would ship the clock back as soon as I had a gaurantee that he would refund my money. He would not do it. Most companies want happy customers and return business, this guy just wants your money!! I hope the lousy 300 bucks he got from an out of work woman was worth it.

So I would say beware of anything they offer online. They are not very nice if you call and complain either. The owner accused me of "ranting" which I found very sexist. I got ripped off, and you knowingly did it...Yea, I want to rant! The owner is super rude to you if you complain. Geesh. BEWARE?!

 Oh and Proxibid is how I found this creep and they did not help me either! FYI
