Move It Elsewhere

Found a cookbook downstairs. It had a blank white sticker on it. I set it on her desk and said I will get this but I wanted to look upstairs first. I came down with a full $ 5 bag and was ready to check out. She said the total would be $ 10, which I paid. The book was to be 75% off. I got home and studied the cookbook only to find she wrote $ 20 on the white sticker. Then I saw the actual price in the book for $ 10.95. Wow, she doubled the price and then knocked off 75%. So the book should have been 2.50, not $ 5. I still can pay my bills but won’t ever be back. Think twice about letting her take things from your home to sell, sneaky one!

Wow How can I give zero stars? I was mistled by all of the fake «estate sale» signs and went in to see nothing but extremely high priced common junk.
Looking from top to bottom, I didnt see anything of interest, noted that things like glass telephone insulators were priced at $ 25 and up for common ones you get at the flea market for $ 5 apiece.
Wonder how they stay in business?

Do NOT «sell» anything to this shop! Charges to pick-​up items, low balls the price she gives you, really late on commission checks if you get them at all!

Suzanne gets her inventory that she sells so reasonably, for free! The contract says what doesn’t sell becomes hers in 8(?) months. She took a truckload from my home… ex. 12 place settings of Limoges china, including serving pieces. She jacks up the price until your things become hers. Then magically the price goes down 75%. When I never saw a cent I asked why… she said the sales didn’t reach $ 100, hence no check! I have a friend whose mother got the same treatment.

I went in YEARS ago, said I wouldn’t go back, but decided to try once again a year or two ago. 75% off — ok, what is 75% off an unmarked price, as in the case of books? Idiotic. I found one possible book to buy, then the manager, who was «helping» another client (well, «chit-​chatting» would be a more accurate word), told me it would be a long wait, she was busy. When I walked out (without the book), she rudely stated «I guess your time is too valuable to wait», after which I promptly responded, «exactly, and I won’t ever be back.» And so, I sha’nt. (P.S. all of my book-​dealer peers have the same feelings, none I know will ever go in to the store.)

My wife and I had a couple of items to sell, sent pictures and the owner immediately said oh we can sell this. Had no pick up so paid her guy $ 45 to pick up the items and he had no paperwork. To shorten an extremely long story. She said the furniture was garbage but she would try anyway but we should consider donating it. She actually featured our stuff sold it and yet still continues to tell us our stuff is there. Can’t find it, can’t find what she sold it for and never received a dime. Gotten to the point that PD or the courts are next as no one like that should be in business.

Suzanne goes out of her way to help and can nearly always meet my budget — I was looking for a large nightstand recently and found the perfect piece at the perfect price — Suzanne personally delivered it to me while I was recovering from a stint in the hospital.
There’s not a single time I can recall going into the shop and not finding something very unique that I just HAD to have not to mention what I actually came in for that I needed. The inventory changes and new stuff comes in constantly. I’ve purchased gifts that have really meant something to the recipient because the stock here is unbelievably rich. I found an esoteric book that has been out of print for years, and decorative boxes and other cool stuff.
The prices are 75% off of what’s marked and furniture is already marked down but very reasonable for the quality. I love the store and Suzanne deserves a lot of credit in my opinion for bringing quality furnishings of all kinds to the public at really good prices on a week in, week out basis.

These ladies are so greedy. They mark up everything by 500 percent and if you read other reviews they rip people off (families of deceased) when they consign estate furniture with them. I am ashamed I ever entered the premises. Hopefully they will be out of business soon.

Listing another Estate Sale location Lincoln Ave is so bad!!! Its obvious the address is incorrect yet your signs outside can fool some that do not know of your business.
Why have you built yourself a bad reputation? Don’t you think using estate sale sites to deceive people is desperate? Why don’t you work on improving your business, and asking fair prices. I can go on but will not waste any more time on your ignorance.

Omg this pace looks like crap!!! Can’t believe after all this complaints they still on business !!!

So my hubby and I stopped by here this afternoon… Holy hell, can we say «overpriced much?» OMG. They had dingy kitchen utensils (literally the Betty Crocker red utensils found at the Dollar Tree) for $ 9.00 EACH!!! A ½ cup plastic measuring cup that looked like it has seen the sink disposal blades one too many times for $ 3.00! A 15 year old box of Crayola white chalk, ½ box missing, remaining chalk broken, priced at $ 3? Cheese graters missing the graters $ 8.00? Plastic picture frames, lightweight like Styrofoam $ 25/​each? Lamps that look and feel like they were from HomeGoods (not knocking HomeGoods!) over $ 150???
As soon as we walked in, we are told everything in the store is 75% off the price on the price stickers. She says all the furniture have also been marked down, and the price written with a sharpie is the marked down price. She says all the X-​mas décor is 95% off. Cool. Until you see the prices. Everything here is marked up by more than 1000% and then marked down to 75−95%. So you’d still be paying SO MUCH more than you would pay if the item was new in store.
So we went upstairs, saw a rack of throw pillows — not a single pillow was less than $ 35… Looked to the rooms on the left… literally walk in closets full of metal utility shelves, with cardboard boxes, misc knick knacks thrown in, plates and cups just piling on top of one another. Have you ever watched the show HOARDERS on TV? This place, is WORSE than any of the «hoarders» on TV.
Some items had price stickers, some didn’t. Some had 2 – 3 different stickers on them. Some had stickers that read «$.00»… oh cool, free? Nope. You take those items up front to ask them the price… Girl at the desk has no clue and says she has to ask the owner. 10 minutes later, she had ran throughout the huge store, finally found the owner. The price that came back on ALL the items were ridiculous.
I finally found 2 mason jars that I wasn’t getting raped (price wise) on. So we went to check out. The girl that was at the desk, was nice. I liked her. But the computer was down. 15 minutes later, she says it was turning on, and that it is a slower PC… OK. She tells the crazy looking older lady behind her (who I assume was a manager or owner?) and that woman says «yeah, so? I turned it off to turn on the lights in the back — just turn it back on». OK you old hag, she DID turn it on, I think she may have been implying that you need to buy a new computer that turns on FASTER than 15 minutes. There was literally a line of people behind us and this is the ONLY computer they have to check out with. The older lady then tells her «they probably don’t need a receipt anyways, just write it down and put it in the computer later». Seriously? I can only imagine this isn’t the first time this has happened… and this is how you keep accurate inventory of what you sold for people? Riiiiiight.
We paid. And walked out… No… We ran out the door. Never looked back. Never going back. Going to wash my mason jars in bleach now.

This is one of the most worse run shops in Santa Clara County, the staff is horrible and evil. The merchandise is shoddy and extremely overpriced. I cant emphasize enough to check the owners Unilocal reviews… very poor businesswoman… Stay Away

Lady who answered the phone is a Biatch

This place is awful. Most of the items were marked up 10 times what they were worth. Even at 75% off, it made no difference because of how ridiculous the original marked price was. They were selling a fake Michael kors purse for 100 $! Who does that? They also had a cvs blood pressure cuff that was maybe 40 $ new, for 125 $! I agree with the other reviews. These guys are con artists.

We went to Move it Elsewhere during a «sale» which advertised everything but the furniture being 75% off the regular price. We found a few items that were priced, and a few that weren’t, and took them up to the register. The marked items were pretty good bargains, but when the manager priced the unmarked items, it was ridiculous. One item was marked $ 4.00, but she stuck a $ 10.00 sticker on it! I picked up a little plastic car (the size of a matchbox car) and she stuck a $ 15 sticker on it. Yes. FIFTEEN DOLLARS! It was not a collector’s item, or even a metal car! Who does that?!? We were put off, to say the least.

GHETTO!!! This is the most disgusting place I have ever been to. I went in just to look around, and i am greeted with the smell of cheap, old hooker perfume and a leather handbag with a Troll haircut which i later found out was the Owner, Suzanne. As i was walking around this dusty old storage closet with windows, I see what look like random garage sale finds and objects that seem to have been fished out of a landfill. I had some things from my estate that I needed to get rid of to pay for moving costs, so naturally I asked a few questions regarding her consignment process.
She was very short with me, I couldnt tell if she had been drinking or if she was high on the fumes from her hair spray, either way she would not give me the time of day.
I then turned to what I thought was another employee, who was sitting behind what i assumed to be the front desk (could have been on consignment, who knows), and asked him a few other questions, (if some things were more popular than others or if things I might have might even be worth selling) I then found it was her son, Sean, who clearly thinks his shit don’t stink. This guy is 5’7 on a good day and tells me that my business isn’t needed because their store only sells «high quality items» (keep in mind he has no idea what I have to sell… and lets face it, looking around at your store, nothing here is «High Quality»). Bottom line, these people discriminate and are probably the rudest people I have met on the face of this planet. Move it Elsewhere, like to another consignment center.

Unethical! I used her service and at first thought it was fantastic! However they are the best conartists! I was a widow and in mourning. Had to move and sell my house soon. They came in gave their speech, which amazed me. They act like they feel your pain… even cry with you. You sign the contract, dont really know what you are doing when you are stressed. They say they will an estate sale in your home… but at the last minute say you dont have enough items in your house to sell! But they met with me and said I had too much stuff! My house was full of antiques, full of expensive tools and it was a 3,200 sq. full house full of all our families antiques!
They tell they are taking my stuff to the warehouse to sell. I was not in town when they informed me of this and they knew i would be gone. I contacted my friend to go and see what is happening. She said that things were missing. My husbands expensive tools were gone… the value was at least $ 10,000 of tools! Other items were missing. I called and asked her what was up. She said we took some items and per the contract, she only has to pay for 50 percent of what she decided she wanted. But she said she did not take the tools. She took other items too.
She preys on elderly, widows and widowers. Never use their services! When she came to my house, her truck was full of an elderly persons home. She was really smiling, showed me a beautiful antique vase in her front seat and said look at this from a client… guess who got 100 percent of this item… she does not provide an inventory of items she takes from you… so you are just a victim!
WATCH OUT… DONT BUY HER STOLEN GOODS… SHE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THIS BUSINESS! A crook…
I cancelled my contract, but still lost a lot of money of items they stole. I went to the shop and saw some of my items they took but i have to this date never received a dime from them!

Holy Overpriced. I mean wow. Insulting. Framed poster prints with $ 10 frames for $ 175? Check. Kitchen knick knacks for $ 35? Check. Dirty, stained, smelly wool rugs for $ 450? Check check! Its not even like «Great Find», «Pricey but Unique», «Ok I know I’m paying more than I should, but I gotta have it!» stuff. Its mainly garage sale junk marked up to ridiculous levels. Most of it is dirty, dusty, dingy and gross.
When we walked in this morning, we were informed that «just for today!» everything is 50% off. I was sort of offended by that as I had read some reviews on here that the usual discount was 70% off. Seeing as we were the only people in the store, I would think they would have been delighted for some business and would have made it extra attractive for us to buy their junk.
And, yes, I am guilty of coming here even after reading the reviews. We are looking for a couple very specific things and at our end the end of our rope in terms of other stores and options so we dug deep. I’m sorry we did.
Conversely, right down the street on Bascom is «Not Too Shabby» which is a really fun, well-​priced treasure trove. So at least the drive to San Jose wasn’t totally for naught.
Move Yourself Elsewhere!

Everything here is marked up to 1000% and then discounted 80%, meaning you’re paying double the price of a new item.
From the looks of it, Suzanne is a criminal. At the very least, she’s a very poor businessman with shady business practices and a conveniently faulty memory. I would stay away from her, as it looks like it will cost you more in lawyer fees than what you’re owed. She’ll just take your inventory and leave with it.

Just adding my $ 0.02 to the other ZERO STARS reviews this place deserves. Suzanne is indeed a crook. Stay away.
Several months ago when I visited, I noticed she had lost a lot of weight. Recently I was there and could not avoid overhearing Suzanne brazenly solicit commentary from an acquaintance on her successful weight loss, and proceed to advise that she did it with the help of a specialty clinic in Los Gatos. I think we can all agree that such services could not have come cheap.
People who have been swindled by Suzanne, THAT is where your money went.
I would occasionally stop by MIE to dig through boxes upstairs, but after reading here about Suzanne’s crooked practices, I’ll never be back.
What MIE needs is a boycott that effectively puts the operation out of business for good.
Best of luck to all who are in litigation over this woman’s illegal business dealings. She needs to spend some time behind bars.
Sadly, even if that happens, she’s one of those people who will likely keep coming back like a bad penny, but she’s easy to spot with her trademark frazzled bleached blonde hair. If you see her running things under another business name, turn around and walk away.
