Hi Tiki David...

The problem here is that this "waiting for people to make offers" style of doing things causes more animosity for potential buyers and hurts you as well. I believe I can say this with some authority in that I've bought from you in the past.

Tiki Central is a great place for people of like mind and interest to do business. I really don't believe it should be restricted. Of course, some people will get offended over the slightest issues and I understand that. Some things are more expensive than others. Some things are a steal that one finds due to a generous "head up" post and it pisses someone else off. These things happen often, yet it is the nature of the beast. Welcome to cyberspace.

Your offerings however, seem to fall in a category of their own. There's no price, no defined way to decide what is really available and what isn't and you are difficult to communicate with. It seems you are 'sorta offering' these items and 'sorta not'.

If you have a price in mind, even if it's "unreasonable" to some people, that's ok. They don't have to buy it. Value is in the eye of the beholder as they say. Not posting any price or response is far worse in my mind.

Please don't take this as a personal attack. I certainly don't speak for others here, but from my point of view, posting items for sale with no prices, not responding to emails/pm's and then bumping the topic for more requests appears a little sadistic.

You have things I'd love to buy, but I simply find it frustrating to continue doing business over the forums this way.

You have a lot of great stuff and I know you are a good fella. Please just take this into account when continuing to bump the topics of your sale items.
