Hello Group. I am the evil ebay seller who listed the "fake" tiki bar beer tap handle. I sell lots of genuine tap handles in my business and lots of custom sports themed handles marketed by a local sports store I am partnered with. I was contacted by a few folks who told me the facts of this handle, and I discussed this with the winning bidder. I have agreed to eat the loss on this item and send it to the real bar (per their request). They have not yet responded, but they should have it soon to pour drinks, or burn in effigy, or whatever they want. I bought the handle as part of a large collection 2 months ago and thought it was the real thing. Thank you to the members of this group for exposing this one to potential buyers and myself. It is active collectors like you all that keep ebay a great and safe way to buy rare stuff. Thanks again, and cheers! Mark. (massls)

Not evil, just misguided. :) I'm glad you followed up, it's nicer than some who will argue that their item is is in fact the original, that the picture &/or bidder lies, and that they cannot reply to you any more since their mother &/or dog just died. It's nice to have someone go out of thir way to try to make something right, thank you.
