Steve Sodokoff jewelry fraud

WARNING: There is an unethical jewelry salesman operating in San Francisco.

Mr. Steve Sodokoff offered to procure a ruby gemstone and allow me to have it for a week to get an appraisal done. Gave him a certified check for $8,800 as collateral with the understanding he would return the check to me if I was not satisfied with his merchandise or it's price. Lo and behold, multiple gemologists and jewelers told me $8,800 was a substantially high price.

I returned Mr. Sodokoff's merchandise within the allowed one week time frame and he gives me back a check for $1,320 less than I gave him, claiming shipping and restocking "fees"!

So we're off to small claims court.
