Ok so after a few more months - more progress.
He has been given a court order forcing him to pay back the money.
I am going to get £20 a fortnight until it is paid back - received the first cheque yesterday.
Will take a while to get all my money back but at least it's coming!!
We are continuing to sell of stock and are hoping to shift most of our remaining stuff over the summer.
We have lots of items up for auction at the moment including loads of original weapons (inc. last 17 R2 sabre and amanaman staff) - most items starting at between 99p and £2 to clear...

Fantastic website. Well done on all the hard work.
Because we run a shop we have loads of different weapons passing through each month (inc. form 12" figs)
If there is anything in our shop you want me to take pics of for you just let me know.
Hi
Bought a couple of sets of carded figures off him with no problems but....
The last lot I bought did not arrive. Because I had dealt with him before I paid by bank transfer. (BIG mistake!)
He was unable to provide me with a tracking number and after a month still no figures.

Though we just run our ebay shop from home people are always welcome to come and look at our stock - most is on ebay but not all.
