Nice article, Randomcha!

Ya know what's kinda funny, is that the auction house actually sought me out and contacted me at my Tiki Shop about this upcoming auction a few days ago. How'd I get the reputation as the "go to guy" for tiki that they called me instead of the obvious real-life Tiki "Gods" like Sven, Bosko, Danny, et al?

I thought at first that it might be that they found my facebook page for my shop, http://www.facebook.com/TikiLeesTikiShop (if you care to visit), but they called me at the new location of the Charleston Antique Mall where my Tiki Shop USED to be and asked for "The Tiki Guy". Wierd. I guess 10 years of being "The Tiki Guy" in Vegas gets around!

Anyway, here's the DIRECT LINK to the auction pages featuring the Tiki's that they sent me:

That'll make it easier to find the goodies...

The auction "terms" are 22% percent buyers premium ADDED to the winning bid if you are there, 24% if you are a phone, absentee, or internet bidder. Local pick-up is preferred, as they do not ship. However they have several shippers that they recommend listed on their website. You can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per tiki to ship these heavy mothers! Chicago-area folks, I'm envious!

BTW, BigBro, besides the two that Tipsy said were from the Palmer House, which of the others are from the old location, or just "older"? I'm curious to see if my "guesses" are correct! :)

I'll be watching the auction on-line... I hope one of us "TCer's" gets the good stuff!
