Be careful with your dealings with the owner. Nearly a year ago he took some of my furniture to sell for me. It disappeared from the shop but he said he hadn't sold it, just moved it to his other shop. I have been unable since to get the stuff back. A few months ago he agreed to pay me for it. I agreed to a fairly derisory sum just to get the matter closed. Since then, in spite of many many requests, I can't get the money off him. Yesterday I went by appointment, but still he wouldn't pay up.

I wish I'd given the furniture to the charity shop. It wasn't a large amount, but no-one likes being conned.

Wasn't there a thread 2-3 years ago where someone had been ripped-off for goods they'd given this guy to sell for them (if it is the same guy still) ?

Sounds like he's able to continue because no-one's able to do anything about it. Interesting business plan.

Perhaps he needs a visit from the ripped-off customer collective, power in nos. may be more intimidating to him.

    • The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
