They have all said the same thing, 2 or 3 people come in buy up loads of merchandise to sell on Ebay. That's fine. But, they mentioned that no one was selling items for Mr. Tsao. Most of items that Barry Adler (that's his real name by the way) is selling are always from the outlet store. I have seen no items that were actually from the Kahiki restaurant. That's because Mr. Tsao wanted the Kahiki decor to go to a charitable oragnization and NOT a collector. The decor is now all gone, it has been given away according to Mr. Tsao's wishes. Coming on to TC and selling your wares is fine with me. But JUST selling your wares and not being a part of the community I find offensive. [ Edited by: Tiki Joe 2005-11-24 17:00 ]
