A Warning about the Bradford Exchange and its "Roach Motel" business model

• This man, 92, thought he ordered a collector's coin. $1,000 later, the coins kept coming

The packages from the Bradford Exchange, an American company that's been selling collectibles, trinkets and jewelry since the 1970s, had been coming to his St. John's home since July.

"I think this is outrageous. That shouldn't be. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with that sort of a thing," Walker, 92, said in a recent interview at his St. John's home.

Walker said he didn't knowingly sign up for any subscription program, nor does he want the coins he received. But despite writing to the company to cancel, Walker continued to be charged.

Lloyd Walker of St. John's says he was charged nearly $100 every time a Bradford Exchange coin comes in the mail. Despite writing the company, the charges continued until late December.

The following length units are commonly used today to define shoe-size systems:

• The Paris point equates to 2⁄3 centimetre (6.67 mm; 0.26 in). Whole sizes are incremented by 1 Paris point; this corresponds to 3.33 millimetres (0.131 in) between half sizes. This unit is commonly used in Continental Europe, and Russia and former USSR countries.
• The barleycorn is an old English unit that equates to 1⁄3 inch (8.47 mm). This is the basis for current UK and North American shoe sizes, with the largest shoe size taken as twelve inches (a size 12) i.e. 30.5 cm, and then counting backwards in barleycorn units, so a size 11 is 11.67 inches or 29.6 cm.
