Pretty much the only reason why I was bummed that Psycho Tiki D and I didn’t get all this set for free from the original post is because big scores of Witco don’t come along that often—well unless you are Tiki David :wink:

I also HIGHLY doubt that the people I know who called this store (and I KNOW there were at least 10 from here) regarding the sale ad posted by the thrift store said:“Hi, I am LeLeLiz from a tiki forum called Tiki Central. Your Polynesian furniture is actually Witco and I really want to buy it for cheap”.

Please. The “Tcers inflated the prices” seems like bs to me.

Regarding the Trader Vics warehouse sale..if YOU want to buy tiki items then it is up to YOU to find where to do so. NO ONE on here owes anyone else anything. Why is that “questionable/shady”???I really think its lame come on this forum and give people a hard time about knowing about something you did not. Its not their job to inform you..or anyone else for that matter of events/sales. If you want to know…then learn where to look. I suggest keeping the “Oh that was shady” comments to yourself. Really? Shady?? Are you kidding me??

Also why be a lurker if not to scour these forums for places to swoop down and take advantage of others being nice when they post an ad for something like a TV Sale? If I wanted something that was going to be at a little known about sale the LAST thing I would do is tell anyone about it until after the fact. WHY should I ?? So someone else can swoop in and buy the one thing that I want? That is dumb.

I am the person who originally posted the “Witco for free” ad and Psycho Tiki D was the person who originally posted the “Witco for sale” ad. We did it because we wanted to ..not because we owed it to anyone. If we would of gotten all that Witco for free we would of kept it all and then posted on here our massive score and I personally wouldn’t feel bad about it.

I have also been in the know about quite a few amazing Estate sales recently and I have scored some awesome stuff at and guess what--I didn't tell anyone. Sorry about your luck. If you want to know where to buy something then YOU do the research.

I am pretty over this "You owe me to tell me where you got (fill in the blank)" and the "Its not fair that you find so much stuff. You have to tell me where you look so I can find it too".

If anyone wants to share information its their personal choice--not their duty to.

Lurking on a forum to take advantage of other's postings regarding sales/events is what seems shady to ME.

And that is all I am going to say about that and I am also never looking at this thread again. I got more important things to get to doing.
