I empathize with your reaction to the input you have received, but you could have put a little more effort in introducing yourself to Tiki Central. Your basic message (as a first time poster) has been: I found this Trader Vic's hibachi which I know nothing about. Is the set complete? How much is it worth? I want to sell it on ebay. No "Hello"; no "Wow this Tiki stuff is cool"; no "This site is great", no "I want to sell this to you collectors here". This site is Tiki Central, not Tiki Pawn Stars. The forum you posted in is Tiki Marketplace, not Tiki Appraisal. I hope that you can put all of this in perspective and hang around for a while (after you sell the hibachi on ebay). With all of that said, that is a really cool Trader Vic's item, I have never seen one before. If it was me, I would keep it and actually use it (for special parties of course). Have you ever been to a Trader Vic's? The one in Palo Alto is closing next month, so if you are in that neck of the woods you should go see it before it goes away. I am planning on going there sometime soon (have not been yet). Maybe we could meet and I'll buy you a drink for Tiki Central! DC
