Back when I was brokering and warehousing merchandise I would receive at least 1-2 calls a weak from individuals who had bought into the Quicksell / Zaken Corporation. The callers would continuously ask about merchandise I had for sale. I recognized the calls because they all asked the same questions. Every call or inquiry would end the same. “I have a buyer for this merchandise, but I will need you to send a sample”.
It got to the point where I would say, “Are you working through the Quicksell program?”, if the answer was yes… I would hang up. I know this sounds rude, but in the beginning when I responded to all of the questions and sent samples….I never sold one item. It became a waste of my time to even talk with these individuals.
I have never studied the Quicksell closeout merchandise program, however the internet is filled with consumer complaints about this business opportunity. From what I have read I would stay far away. Take a look at The Zaken Corp–Legit or Scam? and www.complaints.com.
I thought it would be time to post about Quicksell as we did get an inquiry from an individual who bought into the Quicksell Business opportunity. This is a small portion of the comment we received last week:
“I’m not sure if this is the right place for this type of request or feedback, but I’m trying to find ways to learn about the liquidation business. My name is [Left Blank] and I bought into one of those internet businesses, that so far, is of course not working out the way they said it would. However With some time and research I have found that there is some money that can be made in this business.”
I responded back to this individual explaining that there is no need to “buy a program” to help you make money selling closeout excess merchandise. I offered a couple of tips to this person as I am always willing to help.
I would like to hear from others who have bought into this Quicksell or Zaken Coporation program…Good or Bad?

Robert, I tried the links but couldn’t read them. (My stupid WebTV would only put up half the vertical page for me, and I have no side-to-side scrolling ability.)
But, yes, these “programs” are almost always scams.
You seem to be right on the inside of all this stuff–the place to be. How you benefit from helping future competitors, I don’t quite follow. But, whatever turns you on…

I do not sell or broker anymore. I do have a handful of exporters that I work with ongoing.

I ordered quiksell in May 2008 and have sent in lots and lots of deals,with pics,samples were sent and etc. I never hear back from them,they are very slow if and when they do answer back. And they do not do as they claim. I paid $174 for quiksell kit and its a month and half later and no word on any deals or samples . I never hear back from them at all now. They keep samples and do not return them either. I am very disapointed and turned them in TO BBB. I think they should refund my money as well as pay me for my time and effort and the embarrasement they put me through. Its very bad when we have to tell merchants that we dont hear back after they sent samples. It cause us to also have a bad name. I’m Steaming mAD. If anyone knows of how to get into the class action lawsuit against them let me know.

I just purchased the Quick Sell package and haven’t paid for it yet because of a 30 day guarantee package. After reading all the negatives about the Zaken Corp./Quick Sell, I don’t even know if I want to continue the program even with a 30 day trial.

Zaken is NOT a scam. I’ve been acting as their closeout locator for 5 months now and i can tell you they do care about your success. I am making money with this company.

JW is a scammer himself. Among all the pages I’ve seen, he’s the ONLY one saying that Zaken isn’t a scam. It is. I have insider info. These people will rip your heart off and leave you bleeding.Don’t fall into the trap. Save your precious dollars and go for something real.

I don’t know what made me go to Zaken Corp on the internet, but I’m glad I did. I have been dealing with them about 2 months now and have’nt made a dime yet. It was hard finding suppliers of merchandise at first, and I got connected with alibaba.com which opened a lot of opportunities. However, from the leads I received through them, 2 were rejected. I received emails from zaken indicating the the sellers supplied insuffucient information which was rejected. These two were legitimite excusses, but the other three I have not received a reply. It is very hard tryingto get in touch with Zaken over the phone. Even during business hours, it’s hard to get through. I have a deal right here in my home town, it would take me every bit of 10 min to drive to the location. This company did every thing right. Right quantity, right asking price, right description of merchandise, etc.
I called last week, on the 15th to be exact, and I too haven’t heard from them. I want to know the status of these submissions. If they are not on the up and up, well I invested $174.00 for the course information, and another $295.00 for the website, I also want to know what course of action I can take and with whom. I have invested a lot of midnight oil seeking leads for this company, and It would dissapoint me to no end to have wasted all this time for nothing. I was initially contacted by mail. Since joining, I have spent over $ 200.00 in postage, letters,envelopes,ink
and all that adiminstrative stuff you go through to send out letters. My thing is this.Why do they continue to send soliciation
to continue to buy post cards, other programs, if the one you are using isn’t working like they say it would. I’m not a quitter,and I’ve got toomuch invested to quit. My other only concern is the customers who are willing to go through with deals. If you have any information
which would be helpful to sort of make up my mind to continue with them, please let me know. Also if you have any question you would like to ask me, please let me know. My phone is
443-253-2764, and I’m in Glen Burnie, MD 21061

Hi Teresa. My name is veronica and I’m an associate of the zaken corp. I purchased the course 2 months ago and have 3 deals in pending decision. I’ve been waiting to hear from them in the mean time my customers are calling and calling asking when are they going to get paid. So I decided to go to the web page and email them my questions and I saw these sites taking about a scam I’m crying now.

I’ve invested alot of time and money $174 to be exact. I’m scared now because my fiance already thought it was a scam. I just pray to god for that notion not to be true. But if so, then yes I would definately like to begin a class action suit. Especially for the emotional damages.

I lost money from them also and I understand that there is a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against The Zaken Corporation. Right now I keep calling their number 800 530-6174 to jam their lines and cost them money for long distnace. Maybe we could all do the same to keep others from their scam? If enough of us did this it would make a tremendous costly impact on them.
