Question:

Dear Doctor,

I have a small shop and I sell many items on consignment. It happened to me already a couple of times a sad fact and wanted to know how I can rivalermi with the person who has deceived me.

A lady left me in a consignment item that I showcased. Several people have come to the good because it involved asking the price and I also started some negotiations. After a few days back and asked the lady behind the object, saying that he had changed his mind and that being an object of the family was glad to have it in house and therefore was no longer interested in selling it.

I therefore returned well and I have not heard anything, until one day a gentleman entered the shop and begins giving me the thief, because I asked too high a figure for the object in question, adding that he had bought at half price compared to my request, by the owner, who was her friend.

I specify that the owner, according to what they told you (that so I can determine), it would give me the good for sale at a price higher than what they actually wanted to get.

I wonder whether it is right for me to loads of expenses and fees for a workshop that others may have nothing to match.

That object was sold because it exposed in MY window and not the first time I am in this situation. I make the money, then I will take away the merchandise that is sold for less by not paying taxes, rent and more. Is there a way to protect themselves?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Answer:

Gentle reader,

in his letter did not specify whether the report that you certify that you currently use to be formalized in writing, if they do not, I suggest strongly to future visits, to prepare a text to be signed with the owner who relies on the well to end of a sale.

In this regard, he did not know how to set the drawing, please contact the Editorial Office, to which your provider and provide a basic text.

Anyway, I take this opportunity to invite you to read the short article on this topic, in order to have some further clarification of a general nature.

To answer your question specifically, it is therefore essential to know whether the basis of the relationship you have established there is a private writing: if not the advance that, in fact, can not claim against the owner of the property, since the dynamics of She exhibited by facts as would be very difficult to demonstrate in court.

Where, however, there is an agreement formalized in writing, the request to produce the document in order to allow me a comprehensive opinion.

I remain available, let me know.

Cordial greetings.
