People, your totally missing the point of my post.
Nooooo, "THEY" didn't what to know if it's authentic.
Thanks for taking a stab at it though.
I'll say it again, my posting the link to the sale on ebay was just to let people know this seller was trying to off it as a Kon Tiki, which I knew it was not, it doesn't look anything like the one I have had hanging in my living room for a couple of years.
What pissed me off was when I emailed the seller to tell them it was not a kon tiki piece, but some other witco, name unknown, and they might want to make the proper adjustments in their ad.
The seller did not care and asked me where in the ad did I see the words "Kon Tiki", you see, he has it listed for sale as "Tiki Kon" on purpose to be sneaky and tricky.
I am glad everyone has been so nice as to comment on this post, but when I posted it last night, I was hesitant because I wasn't sure if the issue was really worth posting about.
Plus knowing I would probably word the post weird and wrong and have people misunderstanding my intent, which (of course happened). I guess I need to work on being more clear and concise in my writing skills.
But the sellers incredibly flip attitude in his reply to my email is what ultimately made me decide to share the topic here.
I just wanted to make sure if there was one of my Tiki Central pals who might have wanted a Kon Tiki and had seen this on Ebay, didn't get tricked into buy something that was being misrepresented. I guess, really it's not a big deal.
Thank you... that is all. Ugggg! :P
