Sabu The Coconut Boy: Thank you! Again I'm not trying to muck up the tiki culture with capitalism. Like I said, thanks to TikiRoom.com, I found out these items were of value! I am a husband and father of three and I'm not the sneaky type and I never intended to frustrate anyone. If credit is what everyone is upset about, I thought that "block quoting" all of the parts of my page where it quotes other people would be enough. All the stuff on that page that ISNT "block quoted" (not wrapped in the gray box) is my writing. I'll add credit to tikicentral.com. But like I said that page isnt there for mass consumption. It's there strictly for informational purposes for my OWN family members and you guys... and well, I JUST decided to add a link to it on ebay... that wasnt why I made that page. THATS IT. No sites link to it, nothing... But just to show you guys Im not trying to cause any trouble, plaigarize or anything, I added credit to tikicentral.com all over it. Althoguh no offense, but the only people looking at it will be you guys (who dont care about that) and maybe 5 ebay members... Again, my intention wasnt to steal anyones text and claim it as my own, as you can see I had grey boxed ANY text that was not my own.

On a side note: I'd like to add that IS MY WRITE UP. Even thought I included outside sources such as tikicentral forums and a few other places, I put that page together with my own personal commentary. Just because I didnt add credit to all the resources to your specification and MLA standards, doesnt make it any less my creation. I DISTINCTLY showed the areas that were NOT my writing on that page. It's pretty obvious what I included from outside sources. The REAL reason people are pissed is because I didnt specifically give credit to this site. Well its there now. Now my uncle earl that reads the page and the two ebay users that check it out will know that the information came from tikicentral.com

Tipsy McStagger: I realize that but those cups are IMMACULATE and look 100% identical. Additionally I lost the battery to my digicam so I cant take any more pics. But if you don't believe me, you can email any of the winners, and they will tell you themselves that the cups are immaculate and look EXACTLY like they do in the picture (with the exception of the gold sticker being in a different spot). These things are all 100% immaculate no drips they are IDENTICAL.

This is so weird, I can't believe how upset everyone is over this.

I hope I made everythign right.
