Although I feel that it is sad that we may never get to see these wonderful collections, or get to know the people behind the big names ( which is a shame)I say wish them well.
Seems to me that tiki collecting means something way more differant to them than it does to alot of tiki central folks.
Sure, sometimes we feel slighted when big money out bids us. But I say let that go. I also have to say that at least Kohalcharms keeps his ID on ebay, and doesn't change it.
Most times someone right here on the board will go out of there way to help you out with something you need. Lots of people here have helped me out.A couple that come quickly to my mind is when Gecko sent me the wrong mug by mistake---do you know what he did? He told me to keep it, and then sent me the right mug! At no extra charge. What a wonderful person! Another member on the board has my name and is looking out to get a mug that I have not been able to get on my own. That is aloha spirit to me. I myself carry a card in my purse of all the things that people have posted that they want so badly--if and when I find an item, it will be theirs if they want it. I collect for the fun and thrill of the chase, and a chance to meet some of the most wonderful people on the planet. The friends I am collecting here means so much more to me than stuff.
I do beleive that all of us are on many differant levels of collecting, and even tiki means differant things to differant people. What ever works for you is fine by me. Nobody here has ever been rude or hurt me directly, and I will not feel differantly about anyone forming any side groups.
I just edited this post, to try and show that I hold no ill will towards anyone. which was my original intent.
