I also thought it might be cool to have a trading post forum but with a bit of a twist.

I don't have enough tiki that I'm looking to trade off my tiki items, so I was thinking about a forum where folks could post tiki or non-tiki items for trade. For example, I've got a decent pile of noise/punk/grunge vinyl, B movie vids, books etc that I'd love to convert into Tiki.

So for example, I'd start a post saying: "I've got some SFTRI, Sub Pop, AmRep 7" vinyl that I'd like to trade for tiki items. Post or PM me your wants and we'll see what we can work out."

I'd rather do that than hassle with ebay.

Or someone else could say: "Hey I also collect Franciscan Starburst and would gladly trade some of my tiki mugs for some nice pieces."

I think something like this might work because there seems to be a great deal of overlap in non-tiki interests (punk, rockabilly, retro, googie, eames, danish modern etc etc) amongst forum members and I'm sure most people here are pathological collectors. :)
