Anyone dealing with Hollywood Treasure Chest out of Los Angeles.....Beware! She is dealing totally unethical, dishonest and listing items for others that she is listing as her own and claiming to be liquidating a 15 year collection she most likely never owned.
To test this theory, I intentionally purchased an item and tho it was supposedly hers,in California, it arrived from Idaho. She offered in the listing a book detailing all the Mob connections with the Saratoga illegal Casinos."I can supply a lot of background information on all the illegal club chips that I sell..upon request" When questioned about the book I got a response...." the info. was all printed from the internet. not a boiok that i wrote". An immense amount of the info included in the listings and descriptions of the item was TOTALLY WRONG and even supposedly names connected mispelled. A similar listing put up at the same time for Chips & Rack Used at Piping Rock by Meyer Lansky in private VIP rooms, unfortunately was purchased as such, when it was nothing but a bunch of tab chips used by the casinos to aid in preparing the number of Chips for the next evenings action, by helping keep track of large and multiple groups of Chips being counted, and most likely were never even used at Piping Rock and definitly not by Meter Lansky, a name bantied around quite fequently in all her listings, even tho he had left the area in 1948 to run more important issues. Dates presented for the Chips to make them appear as vintage are off by 30 to 40 years and more. When questioned about some of these issues, She became very defensive, tried to turn the issues around claiming Chips I had sold her were phoney and misrepresented when I had NEVER sold this women a thing in my life! Her responses were abusive, threatening and terribly mispelled. All I can say is....if you want things as described for your Saratoga Collection and an honest transaction,my biggest concern ...BEWARE!!
