Conway of Asia

Conway needed money for a quarterly Tax bill;pulled me over on the street and sold me a $ 20,000.00 carpet for $ 3100.00;This should tell you his markups. He infact joked to the bike shop owner he buys stuff and adds a Zero to the price tag .As I write this he has a handicap parking sign on his Mercedes S550 and his 10 speed bike in the trunk;what a guy.

While the collection is spectacular, the owner (Mr. Conway) told me a lie to get me to spend $ 12,000 on a Buddha. My wife and I were on the fence and Mr. Conway said that the price we negotiated was so low that if I purchased the Buddha, he would sign a receipt that he would buy it back after 6 months for the purchase price if we changed our minds. He stated that he will never be able to get another like that and went on selling and selling. We spent the $ 12,000 because it was virtually a 6 month test drive and this was a guarantee from Mr. Conway personally. We decided that we would sell it back to Mr. Conway for a myriad of reasons. He was traveling the world so we waited for his return. When he returned he sent me an email (did not even call) and said that he could not buy it back due to a downturn in business. He must have hundreds of thousands of dollars in inventory if not millions and he is on Ocean street in Carmel. We were lied to and feel manipulated. I am starting legal proceedings with the state and civil. Sad.

I have been shopping in there for YEARS, almost as long as they have been there. I sent my 45 year old sister and 86 year old father in-​law in there to get some things I had picked out, mind you, my budget was $ 22,000 for our new house so this was a serious shop. The moron who was in there that day yelled and scolded my family because my sister was ill and had to quickly use the ‘facility’. When she came out, this asshole yelled at them, in front of a customer he was helping (and he ignored them and never offered help or said he would be with them soon), in an attempt to humiliate and embarrass them. They were completely shocked. They left and were upset the whole day. Needless to say, I have gone to another store in San Francisco where I found the antiques I was looking for and bought from them. If I were the woman (older) who was there and heard a proprieter speak to CUSTOMERS like that, I would have left. I will NEVER, go back to Conway’s.
