Everyone on this site with their negative reviews are right. Back in 2002, when David had his consignment/​antique shop in South Orange on Ridgewood, he had a lot of valuable antiques from our house. The deal was that David would make a list of them, sell them, take a certain percentage and give my mother, who was widowed and ill, her share. NOTHING! I even came by there once demanding a list and he said he would have one by the end of the week and he never showed up when I came by and kept ducking me. I then worked for a deli in Maplewood during my summers home from school and REFUSED to serve him anything.
I don’t know if he still does, but he used to work in conjunction with realtor TOM LAURITA. The realtor took more than his fair share of commission from the sale of my mother’s house and together with David, stole a lot of antiques from my mother, which she never saw one penny from.
Avoid his store and anyone he is assocaited with. This guy is the definitiion of scum, and we don’t need scum in Maplewood Village.

Update April 2013: David still owes us $ 500+ for the consigned furniture from several years ago. We still call periodically to follow up. David now screens /​blocks all of our calls. Scam artist. Avoid this place.

Scam Artist — Surprised there are not more negative reviews about him because I have heard many complaints about his fraudulent business practices for many years.
David will do anything he can to make a buck — including lying, cheating, and not paying back people (me) who give him items for consignment. I first hand have seen him take items from sales that he is running for other people and tell them that their items are worth MUCH less than what they are worth. My experience is that this is a man you cannot trust.
On top of all of this — he goes after all the young girls of the area and asks them to model nude for him. He has been doing this for many years. Keep your daughters away from this one.
If you want to be cheated out of your items or money and create a headache for yourself — do business with this man.

My new favorite shop in town! Lots of fun vintage home goods, as well as an eclectic & tantalizing vintage vinyl collection. Came across some sweet albums by The Beatles, The Doors, Elvis, Simon & Garfunkel, etc. Picked up Spirit in the Sky for $ 4. The owner is very friendly! Do yourself a favor & take a peek inside. You’ll be glad you did :)
