Hanford: Charge for eBay listings. Any way you can make some dough to keep TC going is fine with me. I agree with tikifish who pointed out "...we are all familiar with (eBay) and browse frequently anyway." The posting of an auction is, for most collectors, a redundancy.

As for "unwritten rules"...I just don't get what the big horror is if someone comes on here to sell their goods. It's not as if Walmart announced it's building a website on top of Tiki Central. There are TC members who mostly only post when they have new products to sell, and some of them have Tiki God like status around here even though we never get a drink recipe or Tiki history tip from them. If your shocked, SHOCKED, by those hocking their wares you could always try igonoring their posts.

And finally...missb said "(I) was told the people here were friendly..." Tiki Central people are friendly, I direct Tikiphiles to Tiki Central all the time and when I do I always talk up what a great community it is...The active postings, the exchange of information, the real life interactions, and of course the love of Tiki. I'm more than tired of the trashing of people who supposedly break some "unwritten rules".
