Blade Gathering Dean Hannemann Shipped custom knife to Blade Gathering for consignment sale, Blade Gathering sold knife, and kept money. BRADENTON Florida

Shipped expensive custom knife to Blade Gathering (bladegathering.com.owner operator - Dean Hannemann) in October of 2017 for consignment - knife to sell for $1795 of which Mr. Hannemann would receive 20% of the sale, leaving me with $1435.00.

Mr. Hannemann communicated someone was buying knife, but was paying in increments.  I said okay.

Time passed, I asked for update.  Last two-way communication with Mr. Hannemann was 5 weeks ago in which Mr. Hanneman declared the money would be collected in two weeks, which would have been the middle of March 2018. This was the last I heard from Mr. Hannemann, despite my email and phone pleas for him to contact me.

I know Mr. Hanneman is alive and well as his Facebook page is active with the latest posting being April 6, 2018.  I can only assume he sold the knife and kept the money for himself, which is a theft.  My next step will be to contact Florida L.E. and report the theft.
