Oh no, they're back!

For some extraordinary reason, eBay has allowed Studio & Stage back! They are trading again, with two items up for sale.

They still seem to have been allowed to keep the link to their website where they 'explain' any negative feedback. That's wrong, in my opinion.

Hopefully, potential buyers are doing their homework and researching before bidding (i.e. that they see this or any of the other 'Studio & Stage Beware' sites.)

8 out of 11 people say their cats . . .

. . . found their experience with Studio & Stage to be in the 'couldn't be worse' category with the remaining voters finding them 'less than impressive'.

Come on, people - there must be someone, somewhere who's had a good experience with them? Surely?

Maybe not . . .

Good luck!

I have had several emails from disgruntled Studio & Stage victi . . . sorry, customers . . . who tell me they are in the middle of court action to recover money from them.

I just wanted to publicly wish you all the very best of luck, especially Anon Y. Mouse (you know who you are!), who has been waiting even longer than me for Studio & Stage to deliver the items paid for.

Interesting to see that they still aren't back on eBay, at least not as Studio & Stage.

Also interesting was that when I phoned Holmefield Mill to confirm that's where they were based, the chap that answered had never heard of Christopher Knox. He did say that Studio & Stage were based there but didn't have a phone number for them - or any other contact details! How strange! It looks as if this is mainly a self storage facility so I wonder if they just rent some storage there. I asked him to pop a note under the door to say I was keen to get in touch to place a very big order [naughty giggles] and that they would have my phone number. Oh, I forgot to leave my name. That will be frustrating for them . . .

eBay gum, lad!

Looks like they have suspended activity on eBay. They have elected to make their feedback private (so would I given their record of negatives!) and this means they are not able to sell through eBay.

There is a sad part to this though - it means that potential purchasers will not have the protection that eBay has to offer. I hope they get to see the various 'Beware Studio & Stage' resources currently on the web.

Good to see yet another disgruntled customer is planning court action against them. Good luck with that!

I've been advised that keeping this blog up will damage any action I bring against them but I have decided that this will be of more value and will do them more harm than a small claims judgment against them. I'll let other people do the court bit while I do the exposure bit!

What is very sad is that good old Christopher Knox, if his claims of overseas luxury and millions in the bank are true, will probably not even bat an eyelid. I suspect he will drop his partners in Yorkshire like a stone and leave them to face the music while he sips his wine and stuffs his face full of brie.

I would dearly love to know the name of Knox's company. Oddly he never would divulge it, or give me his mobile phone number or home address. Wonder why that would be? [insert clucking chicken noises here].
