He indeed was honest. He found an extra ounce of silver I had than I thought. Whole process was seamless and got paid right there. He offers cash or check. Note: he has 2 locations. 160 19th street in Union City, and the other one is 6035 Park Ave in West New York, about 1 block from Original Presto's. Make sure to make an appointment: (347) 580-9541. The perk of the 19th street one is it's near De Palma's, solid pepperoni pizza joint.

First two times there was a sign out front "be back in 5 minutes" and 30 minutes later no return. Sad part there was another person who was a friend of the owner waiting as well and we were a party of 3. Gave it another shot and came by on Sunday, store supposed to open at 12 ~ closed, went to eat, came back by at 12:30, closed still. Definitely recommend calling first if you MUST visit this location but there is another vintage shop approximately 7 stores down that was really good as well. Happy Vintage Shopping

I am highly satisfied all around with this company in general and the product I ordered: round time…read moremodern wall clock. Customer service: I rate them a 10/10. I called Lucio who was very pleasant to do business with over the phone. I ordered the clock and he told me he would ship it that day or the next via FedEx. He shipped it that day and sent me a conformation email. Price: exactly what they advertise is what they charged me. Many companies nowadays can do a "bait and switch" advertising certain prices and free shipping only to change those prices once you place an order. This company gave me the listed price and as promised with my order - free shipping. The product: my clock is amazing! It is excellent quality and looks fantastic in my apartment. 10/10 Overall- I'll do business with them again and will recommend them to all my family and friends. #HighlySatisfied

A VOW: I will no longer shop at Cauz For Pawz. What happened, you ask?…read more I was in the area today and so dropped by to shop to expand my budding my costume pearl collection (see pic), the beginnings of which I found at Cauz For Pawz. THE DEMAND. However today, strangely, the requirement to shop at Cauz For Pawz was put my wet $250 black umbrella in a garbage can. It is well-made; it has been through everything. I bought it in London years ago. I probably will be buried with it - if I don't lose it. Anyway, I was harshly told by the brown bobbed hair shop-keep that I have to FIRST put my very expensive umbrella in an unsecured black garbage bag in a trash can, along with other wet black umbrellas, by the front door. MY CRIME. Instead of risking my umbrella being taken by accident, I offered to shop inside at door standing on the doormat in front of the costume jewelry counter since the shop-keep, an angry middle-age woman with a brown bowl-cut hairdo I've never seen before (I think?), was standing behind the counter right by the front door. I politely said I will stand on the doormat by the front door and look at the tray that has the costume pearls. She stated emphatically I would "not be allowed to buy anything" at Cauz For Pawz until I put my umbrella "in the black garbage bag" at the front door. I thought: "Should I risk my expensive umbrella being taken by accident or by mistake?" The answer was of course, "No." So I said, "Thank you, I will leave." I left. The middle-aged bobbed shop-keep yelled something as the door closed, but I didn't hear what was said. A SPECULATION: The issue, I believe, was not about my race or my sex. You see, when you are treated as a minority as I sometimes am, one of the first things you tend to consider when someone you never met is immediately hostile and disdainful without "cauz," is to consider the possibilities of "Why?" After all, the shop-keep did bark at the humble, quiet black woman who had entered before me. The brown bob proved she could be nice to the customer who had arrived before me and the other woman. He was lucky, he had none of my markers (I am assuming the issue was about markers). Her interaction with him proved she could be helpful, ask probing questions, and be solicitous. ALL ABOUT CLASS? However, I deduced that the vitriol and hatred must be because me and the other woman were not wearing tweed like he was. So, I have concluded at this point that issue was one about class. That is: "Who has money and who doesn't." But sometimes a guess can be wrong, right? While I was in Cauz For Pawz for the last time looking into the eyes of that bobbed-headed woman filled with rage because....I was wasn't obeying her, I knew there was nothing I could say to change things. For a second I was tempted to say in my defense: "I've shopped at Cauz For Pawz before spending quite a bit of money. I have bought many things here that I really liked. Or, "My umbrella is very expensive and I don't want to lose it." WORKING CLASS. But if my deduction is correct and it was all about class, then she is right: My ancestors were servants, farm labor, enlisted soldiers, laundry women and dock workers. My class is low to some people but to me I come from the best of the best. My ancestors were hard working honorable people who gave me my intelligence and morality. It was they who instilled in me the ethics I hold to this today. But if the shop-keep-brown-bob is correct, that costume jewelry sales should only be the realm of "the right sort," then I must agree that she correctly damned me to never be allowed again to buy costume jewelry at Cauz For Pawz because my origins are truly poor. In the middle-age shop-keep's defense, I did look pretty rough today when I came into Cauz For Pawz: The rain had frizzed my pinned up hair. My left jaw was slightly swollen (maybe it looked I was just in a brawl?) due oral surgery I just had. My button down shirt under my pullover was indeed untucked. However, I can sometimes be viewed as "the right sort" and I can clean up somewhat (see pic) which is why (after all, it must have been why) the other ladies, the kind ones, before this one at Cauz For Pawz, were super nice, the ones who had went out of their way to help me buy beautiful vintage clothes, even a pair of French riding boots (I love them!) that I truly don't deserve. The kind and helpful ones who even put my handbag (that contained my expensive black umbrella) SECURELY behind the shop's counter so I could freely shop for more cool stuff! THE DECISION. But I was shocked by the overt hostility of that judgmental middle-aged brown bob haircut. I decided to find another vintage store "cauz" to support. I just hope they sell costume pearl jewelry - reasonably priced!

Local event resources were hyping up an evening comedy show at a new spot called "The Collective"…read more The tickets for the show were available in various packages, some of which included a "custom hat", which was very mysterious to us. Hats seemed like an odd counterpart to a night of humor, but we also had not heard of The Collective and were not sure what type of business it was. Thanks to a sidewalk placard, we were able to locate the business on the second floor of a smaller, remodeled building. The sign called out the hat crafting, which was particularly helpful in catching our eyes, though we were still not sure what to find when we made our way upstairs. My companion was recovering from surgery and was happy to see that the modernized building included a small elevator so that he could avoid the narrow staircase. When we arrived at The Collective, we were created by incredibly nice folks! We were introduced to the owners, Gary and Grace, a young couple that created one of the most unique and creative spaces in town! Gary took us on a tour, where we saw an art gallery with pieces from various local artists, a room selling vintage rock t-shirts and records, a custom hat designing studio (trucker's and cowboy-ish styles), a candle-making facility and display area, and much more. The team was really optimizing their location by offering a variety of after-hours classes and events, all of which were BYOB. The first of which was the comedy performance, which was held in the main room, where a variety of mismatched seating and a small stage were located. The troupe was led by Matt, while the show was MCed by Grace (a different woman than the owner). The two of them were outstanding, as was every other comedian in the hour and half-long show. We had been to a good number of similar local acts and been very let down by the lack of laughter generated. However, that show was had us cackling out loud! We truly enjoyed our time at The Collective and all of the friendly people that we met there; we could not have asked for a better evening! I hope to attend some of their future events as well.
