I was sold two paintings for about $9000 (overpriced I found out later) with the promise of a quick resale for a very good profit, as any good scam, they sold me one first, then the second and then a third one which I returned when I realized what was going on. I was given any excuse in the world on why my paintings wouldn't sell. after I told them that i wouldn't buy anymore paintings I haven't received any more phone calls, until a couple of months ago when a guy Harold Sendel called me to let me know that my broker Neil Scharwtz had left the company and now he was in charge of my portfolio, of course tons of excuses again as to why my paintings wouldn't sell and of course try to sell me another painting, and I quote "i am just tyring to throw you a bone here by selling you a painting for cents on the dollar"
I have comlained a few times with the BBB in canada and have never heard back from anybody.

Bought 3 pieces over a period of time, always having to move up in price with the promise of 18% or more within 6 months. At last I told the broker when he sent me a check for the trade in amount I would buy the nest piece. Have been trying to seel them for at least 3 yeas always being told the Nieman piece is in 2nd position, the Michel deleque piece in 4th and the Hibel in 5th. With the excuse there is 'too many pieces on the market' That is understandable so why are they continuing their efforts to put more out there.
