Why would they? Out of "fairness"? Would they do the same if they really wanted the piece, and gladly give the person more money, voluntarily? It is de-constructive because It often causes sellers to get the wrong idea about the value of Tiki stuff, which is so subjective. I often shake my head at some of the prices some sellers call up, making objects that they see as worthless become unaffordable to many Tiki fans out there. The result is the seller gets stuck with an overpriced item, because possible buyers say "you must be kidding!". [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2008-11-04 13:20 ]
