I have contacted the owner a number of times who indicated she was interested in some items I had for sale. She came to my house before Thanksgiving, but then I never heard from her again. I tried to call the store and the mailbox was full for every line so I could not leave a message. I drove to the store to have her tell me she would call me within 2 hours and I never heard from her again. I think the customer service is horrible and she really jerked me around. I can't recommend this store. Certainly don't sell or consign... read more

You have to check out this store! – What a great store!! New management,friendly service, and lots and lots of great finds. When my mother passed they helped me through the process at a difficult time. They sent a truck to pick up all of her items and they were all sold quickly.

Where's my check, where's my print? – I consigned a few items here including a really nice signed print. I stopped by every now and then but never saw it on display. When I asked about it they said it probably got sold and to stop by at the end of the month for a check. There was no check. They then told me that it would be in the next months "check run". Again, no check. I don't know if they lost it or what, but I never got any compensation for it, just a big runaround. They also treated me like I was a nuisance for asking ... read more

Don't sell anything here! – Buy here if you want... but don't sell anything here. You will never see your money! I used to buy and sell here all the time.. but the new owners.... don't trust them. They are not friendly to begin with... but I left several items with them in January anyway to sell. They posted them on their website.. and sold them in February. I have never gotten my money. When I called they told me they never sent out checks... you had to pick them up or send them a SASE. ( can't afford a 42 cents stamp after... read more

Good Inventory, Nice Finds – This place has a lot of really nice things. When I walked in I wasn't sure what to expect. As a 20-something woman I'm used to getting ignored in stores but was greeted then left alone to browse (which i prefer). Other consignment stores that I have been to have higher-then-new prices for their "vintage" items, so I was sure I wouldn't be buying anything. I saw several things I was instantly interested in, but assumed would be out of my price range. I was pleasantly surprised to find that everyth... read more

very bad customer service – Recently I visted Cherished Possessions to make an offer on an item that had been in the store for a very long time. I too, spoke to a young woman who I expect is the assistant manager. I made a very fair offer yet the assiastant manager did not have the courtesy to even call me with the consignors answer. I then sent two follow up emails and again, not a single response. I buy tons of stuff annually (to my families dismay) with price points of $50 to many thousands of dollars but I will never buy... read more

Everything and More – My husband and I recently bought a vacation home in the area, and needed to fill it with furniture. Not willing to spend a fortune on new furniture we decided to go the second hand route. I fully anticipated having to hunt down hundreds of stores for everything we needed. Then I walked into Cherished Possessions. What a find! They had everything from dining and kitchen sets to living room furniture and all kinds of decor. We were able to furnish the entire house with the exception of the mattresses whic... read more

Best Consignment store in Southern Maine – I shop and consign at Cherished Possessions and have found the staff to be very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The new owner can be a bit brusk but is honest and straight forward. The store is arranged beautifully and items are displayed well. If they don't have what I want, I just keep going back til I find it. Prices on furniure are half of what regular furniture stores charge. Sometimes even less than that. It is good to bring your own help to move and load any large purcha... read more
