Kohalacharms and Swanky - Collecting Tiki

Joined: Jul 06, 2004 Posts: 930	TM Tiki Matt Posted posted on Sat, Mar 5, 2005 2:08 PM I feel slighted that I wasn't on the invite list, I think my collection kicks ass! Especialy since I've traded with kohalacharms in the past. Anyway, don't we already have an internet forum for this? I think it's called Tiki Central, or something like that....Though I understand where kohalacharms and swanky are coming from. Some of us (not me of course) on TC can be very harsh on others which would make them feel uncomfortable posting here. I have read a lot of negativity directed toward kohalacharms on this forum. Why, I'm not sure...sour grapes, perhaps...unethical ebay activity, maybe...I honestly don't know. I'm not defending anyone here, but if I had the means, I'd buy up everything on ebay too! Man, my collection would be the best! I will say this: Someone on the list in the above post just emailed me today about ending my ebay auction early. I know this is frowned upon, and of course said NO. Perhaps this is why TCers don't care for this particular person (who I won't name) and has certainly caused me to question their ethics. Funny, I'm torn whether I should report this person to ebay or not. The message from ebay was: Is this message an offer to buy your item directly through email without winning the item on eBay? If so, please help make the eBay marketplace safer by reporting it to us. These "off-eBay" transactions may be unsafe and are against eBay policy.
