This is a question to Hanford in response to the above ad. Maybe you should start a seperate forum under "E-bay and Tiki offers", because I could see the "Collecting Tiki" forum getting swamped with Tiki ads once it gets around that there is a Tiki buying target group called Tiki Central out there.
Members could still refer to e-bay links in "Collectables" when discussing interesting Tiki finds on e-bay, or e-bay misslabeling and such, but purely commercial offers should go to another forum.

...I realize it might be hard to seperate the helpful from the commercial, but Tiki girl posted this in ALL three forums, that's just too much, we have to curtail that. I am not an e-bay regular, and having to read these e-bay lingo sales offers gets on my nerves, like all obvious sales pitches, Tiki or not.

All the other Tiki vendors that know and are on this site have so far respected the non-commercial content of this group, but they are going to feel stupid and left out if this catches on.

I realize this response is in direct contrast to my response to the recent post of the Witco grandson (who is a little more humble in his approach), but I am interested in his work for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, he and everybody else who sells Tiki wares (which we are certainly in support of) should have a seperate forum, and whoever does not respect that should be taken off.

I ALSO realize this could start an endless discussion about what is commercial; and that if I say I like this'n'that, that THAT is already commercial; and that ALL Tiki is basically commercial.... but I think we all know what I am talking about here. I am NOT saying we shall deprive the struggling Tiki manufacturers of addressing this select target group, just that they should do the outright selling on it's own forum.
