There is a seller on eBay of whom I made a Topic last year. He now has changed his selling name to "cards-5". Previously known as "hobbytimesupplies". He lives in Seaham, Co.Durham.

I previously had an unfortunate dealing with him last year.

I suggest that any member should give great consideration before doing business with him.

totally agree. everyone should stay clear of this seller. he doesent even give his real name.

I have spoken to him and I know his real name (and address), but that won't help this posting.
I bought a load of very rare 9.5mm silent titles. He told me that they had been stored in the coal-house and were dusty, but not to worry, the dust would wipe off.
When received, the dust was actually dried damp, obviously rising damp. Over 50% of the films had such bad emulsion damage they had to be binned. I wrote a complaint to him but he never replied, furthermore, I had no official method of complaint as he had asked me to pay him direct by cheque.
