Nice to see complaints have an effect against rogue traders - it's a shame so many people got ripped before it came to this though
About bloody time. The stories I've heard about this place beggar belief. Apparently the dude who owned the shop had so many complaints and threats of violence against him that he took to carrying a gun with him at all times..just in case. Trouble is, what is to prevent those jokers starting another business with a different name? The link doesn't suggest that action has been taken against the people responsible, it has purely shut down that business.
I tried to order an NES-to-Famicom converter there twice, they never sent it, but never billed me either. I had heard many nasty rumors about the place though.
I don't know why it took so long to shut them down. I've been hearing negative things about them since 1998 or so.
I never did get to visit the store. I could've reported on the place personally . Their stuff was VERY expensive, not to mention the fact that they supposedly never delivered whatever you bought from them .
