Master Rosenbery's Miscellaneous Merchandise

I ventured in to this store a little over a week ago and mentioned I had some items my grandmother had left that I didnt know what to with. I was encouraged by Vanessa who rents a space there to bring them in and they might be interested but probably wouldnt give me much for them because of all their expenses etc. So I returned the next day and "luckily" for me the owner, Arpi, was there. She came out to my car and we started going thru things. Right away she offered me $20 for a mink coat because the lining was in bad shape. We started going thru the other items and I had set some things aside I wanted to keep. She basically wanted almost everything I had except for a few items. Vanessa came out and Arpi told her to go get a tub to put the items in and she proceeded to grab everything including the items I had set aside. At this point I was a bit overwhelmed at what was happening. They took one of my boxes and her tub full of stuff into the shop. I did not realize at the time she had taken items I wanted to keep. She offered me $150 for alot of items and on the spot I said I guess so. When I got home I unloaded the car and realized I was missing the items I had set aside. I was so upset. So The next morning I went back and said I was missing items and was not comfortable with how things went down. I brought my husband back with me because I didnt have a good feeling about this. Arpi offered to give my items back and I gave her money back. She kepy saying "everything is in the boxes," ALL your items are being returned, and the third time she said it the red flags went up. We left and again I went thru the stuff and noticed a square gold compact engraved with California was missing. I went back and tried to reason with her that it did not get returned to me. She denied having it and I said if I dont have it it has to be here. I also found one item on display the first day I went back for $22.50! She said she had everything packed up and I mentioned that item and she said oh, I was going to get that. There was also a ceramic doll that was left out of the items that I had to come back for but she swore three times she had returned everything to me. She told me I could come back and look but I thought she isnt going to have it on display for me to see. I went back in yesterday and asked the clerk if she had any square gold compacts and she said "yes, we have some but they sell really quick". Then I made reference to the situation and she and Vanessa became rude. I thanked them and left and then called the police. I am sad I lost a family heirloom and I am mad at myself for not being more careful. I should have inventoried every item and only taken a few items in to start. I am writing this review so if anyone is thinking about getting rid of vintage items to be careful. I prayed about this and am letting go and giving it to God. I do believe in Karma. If anyone reading this happens to find out about this compact if it was sold to please post here. I would really appreciate it.
