In a word... no. I fortunately didn't experience most of what happened
firsthand at the time, but from what I've seen since... well I just
can't think of a less trustworthy name than Adam Clarke when it comes to
anything Rocky Horror related. The reason I mentioned the fact that you
would only accept cash from the US for your eBay listings was because I
would feel uncomfortable buying something from you unless it was on a
credit card through PayPal where I know I could do a chargeback if it
became necessary.
I'm reminded of something I just saw regarding Madonna, of all people.
Apparently in a recent interview she vowed never to star in another
movie, because she fears her terrible acting reputation will condemn any
film. "What film can survive people saying it's going to be a bomb from
the second it's announced? Making movies is such an effort. And to do
that over and over again, with the possibility that I am going to get
the (bleep) kicked out of me - and they really enjoy doing it - I mean,
it doesn't make sense. I have sort of let it go."
I'd suggest that having the name of Adam Clarke attached to any sort of
Rocky Horror related project will fare similarly.
