You know, we've said this before and I can't help but to say that if it is worth the price to you -and to your personal collection- then it's worth the money.

This seller got a killer price, there is no doubt! But I have paid some high prices on a couple of Kahiki items now and then because that is a big thing for me. I think we all have gone a little overboard on an item at one time or another.

So, say that this Danwhatever guy has a chubby for Trader Vics stuff - perhaps that is what first got his tiki fethish started - and this menu is one of the only pieces that he does not have. Would it then be worth any price you could pay to obtain it?

Sure it would!

And, for those of us without any other habits or hobbys, we can often justify spending a little more in order to obtain an item...when we're employed. (Hey, I don't spend my money on smokes or women, why can't I get this item?)

Lets just hope, for our sakes, that this buyer, like many other high rollers, will finally hit his limit or complete his collection and thus leave some reasonably priced items for the rest of us.

In the meantime, I will scour the thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets in search of a true gem! (More within my budget)

Happy Hunting!
