eBay: Very unusual TIKI skirt on ebay.Any info? - Collecting Tiki

Then how many TOTALLY non-tiki-related posts followed the original? I don't get the beef about the original post - it's definitely not wasted bandwidth. All the griping took far more posts than the original one consumed. And it's not about breaking the rules or false advertising. And in fact, the more people make posts to gripe about the original, the more "bumps" or attention the whole thread receives, which defeats the purpose of the griping. Ah-ha! Maybe griping is just a clever ploy to bring MORE attention to this particular thread and auction. -Randy
