On Janurary 7, 2016 Cowtown Music took my 65 Fender Jazz Bass for consignment sale which was completed on February 24, 2016 ... it is now 72 days later and I'm still have NOT received payment. Cowtown Music has had all the money since February 8th (89 days), the buyer has had the guitar since Februrary 24th (73 days), and I have nothing.
Multiple times I've requested they send me proof of sale amount and for them to send me my percentage of that. I've received nothing from them. For several weeks after the sale Jesse Amoroso made excuses about having to check with bookkeeping. Then, after that, Jesse Amoroso assured me three different times that a check is on the way .. but the check never arrives. One of these, on April 11th, he sent a USPS tracking number but as today (25 days later) nothings been shipped or received ... they just printed a USPS shipping label to get the tracking number.
After multiple emails and no check in hand, I finally filed complaint with southern Nevada BBB and consumer affairs .. so far to no effect .. just back and forth. I've posted reviews with my issue on several review sites .. so far no effect.
I winter in Las Vegas so may have to take them to small claims court. This just does not seem fair dealings or any way to run a business. I should have done a better job of checking them out .. I let the `glitter` of Pawn Stars cloud my thinking.
I'd like them to be stand up guys, keep their, word and honor their contract.
Jessie Amaroso and Cowtown Guitars took my guitar to sell on consignment. After selling the guitar and not notifying me I contacted the shop and got 3 weeks worth of denials about ever having the guitar. As soon as I sent a link to the guitar which they had sold then I was contacted immediately by Jessie saying the people in the shop didn't know what they were doing.
Of course he promised to send the money. When that didn't come he said he was in Florida and would send it when he got back. That didn't happen. I asked him for dates when he sent it and got no reply. Then he said he would resend the money. He lied again. He lied a total of 4 times about sending me the money he owes me for the guitar. He always says "Sorry man" or something along those lines and says he will get it out but it doesn't come. It has been over 6 months. I have contacted the shop by phone over 30 times and have sent no less than 50 emails. As far as I am concerned Jessie Amaroso is a thief.
Jesse Amoroso and I put my 1965 Fender Stratocaster on consignment in his shop on March 25, 2017. For approximately 7-8 months I kept inquirying about the status of consignment. He woud tell me he had buyers but none would fully commit to purchase. I finally asked him if he would like to buy the guitar for himself and to give me an offer. He gave me an offer and I countered with my offer. We both agreed on MY offer. I told him I woud send him a "Bill of Sale" for him to sign off on. He told me there was no need for bill of sale, he would send a check as soon as he notified his bookkeeper.
I waited a couple days before I texted Jesse as to what happened to the check. He blamed his bookkeeper and said he would make sure the check is sent. A couple days later he sent me a bogus USPS tracking number. The check never came. The USPS informed me the item was never delivered to their faciity.
This went on until I decided to visit Jesse in Las Vegas.
I texted and called Jesse that I was coming to either pickup my guitar or if he still wanted the guitar to give me the money we both agreed on. On March 3, 2018 I walked into his shop and he was there. We talked briefly then I asked him about my guitar. He looked at me and said "I sold it'. I was surprised to say the least. I asked for my share of the "cosignment price" but he didn't or wouldn't tell me how much he sold it for, He then said he would come up with the money by late afternoon. I gave him that opportunity to get the money. He texted me about 6:30 p.m. and tod me he would send the check Monday, March 5, 2018. On Monday I called him and he asked for my bank routing number and my personal bank account, so he could deposit my share to my account. My bank informed me that his request was fine and security measures would prevent him from withdrawing the deposit if he decidedd to do that. This was just another dietcitfu ploy by Jesse. No money has ever been deposited!
I treasured my guitar and thought I put it in the hands of someone who also treasured antique guitars. I am 71 years old, served in Vietnam with the Marine Corps and to be disrespeted and "ripped off" like this is very hurtful. I am upset, depressed and just sick over this situation. I am not looking for sympathy but an understanding by all who read this. I just want my share of the cosignment price if Jesse indeed sold my '1965 Fender Stratocaster'. A reciept of the actual sale price and to whom he sold it to would great.
I have read complaints of jesse Amoroso by others and the M.O. parelles my eperience. I could have written those complaints. Jesse sold my guitar then stole my share of the consignment money. Fraudelent business practices, dishonesty, theft woud describe Jesse Amoroso.
