Tiki is still fun, but sometimes 1st time topic posters get blasted for their "what is it?, and what is it worth?" first time posts...It gets old, especially when they are probably just going to try to flip it to one of us with an exorbitant price tag. She isn't the first, and most likely won't be the last. Most of the veterans on this board will completely ignore these types of topics, as most feel they are being juiced for information by someone who will never post here again. Not like it hasn't already happened in the past.........I don't think her question was out of line, but maybe fell short of introduction and possible netiquette. Next time I will try to be a little more P.C., and sugarcoat it, I guess...? :wink: Oh, and BambooGal...My response to your original question was not intended to be mean spirited. You have to understand that alot of first time posters who ask the questions like "What is it, and/or how much is it worth", usually only come here that one instance and never return to contribute to Tiki Central. I hope that you can get past the sarcasm and our in-house jokers, to become a fan and participant of TC. In any case, Best wishes, should you choose to restore the rattan.
