I, for one, think you did a good job on that bar. If I was to attempt to build a tiki bar, I would probably do something similar. But, in my opinion, $800 is a very high price. And the fact that you warn people not to "haggle" makes it seem like you are pretty much stuck on that price. The reason for my posting the craigslist link, was to show you that maybe you might want to rethink the pricing on your bar. Hey, maybe you get $800, if you do, more power to ya. But I posted that link, showing that you can get nice vintage pieces (wether you like vintage or not, is one thing, but the vintage pieces will have a higher resale value if you ever need to sell), for a fraction of the price you are asking.

My posting was not an attempt to be a snob. It's just that, in my opinion, your posting kind of came off being a bit snobby yourself...

"SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! If you're planning on contacting me with an attempt to haggle, convince me to deliver, or generally waste my time, please do not bother. "

I wanted to post the craigslist link to show you, and perhaps non-experienced buyers, what else can be bought for only a fraction of the price.

But like I said, if you can get that price for your bar, more power to ya. Maybe your stuff will be the hot vintage pieces people want 50 years from now.
