Tiki Todd Hackett is a very good friend of mine and I've been BUGGING him for the longest time to join Tiki Central.

Being the devout capitalist that I am (sorry for the political comment Hanford - but it's relevant to the discussion) I figure it is fair game to sell items for whatever the market will bear... Of course the prices might seem on the high side to many of Tiki Centralites - but that's because:

• We are all smarter then the average bears.
• We are the early adopters - and knew about this stuff before it became "popular."
• We are the ones who spend way too much time scouring thrift stores and estate sales.
• We are the ones who know how to scope out the online auctions to find the real scores.
• We PAID OUR DUES!

Not everyone is curious enough to search out to find out the insider scoop and join this community. But that's their fault isn't it not TTH's? I mean we'all found this forum! And some people are just willing to have other people be their personal shoppers for them and pay a premium for the service. That's not wrong is it?

If someone is willing to spend big bucks on an item you know you could get for less - then pat yourself on the back about how smart and "inside" you are... But don't get too upset at TTH who scours and scopes and has paid his own set of dues to get the items he finds.

So please be nice and welcome my dear friend to the forum.
Welcome No Ka Oi!!!!
