Something tells me that EBayers like racerx 1glasslover, or artman who would pay upwards of $1000 for this aren't relying on TC posts to do their ebay item research, especially when a simple ebay search on "tiki,""vintage tiki," or "tiki fountain" would suffice. Something tells me that these ebayers knew about this item a long time before I so tiki-criminally posted it here. Sorry if I offended your sensibilities, but mea culpa? No way. I know you had good intentions and you're fairly new so you missed my last rant on this subject (trader woodys lamps) It's just a pet peeve of mine (and others too-I know!) Sure someone could search "tiki" but I know I don't, too much crap to wade through. Finding a Witco without the word "Witco" is a treat though. I also know some big spender mug collectors are members here but don't post (maybe just lurk?) edgeoftexas is one. I hope he never decides to put Witco next to that Eames lounge of his! I'd be screwed! The only way to get a Witco bargain now, is to find it in the wild or poorly listed on ebay. I found this site by searching the web for Witco. So who knows people don't get ebay tips from here? I can't say what would have happened if it wasn't posted here, I was just pointing out that our own peeps had found it already. I also get mad when people post "look at the sweet Witco I GOT on ebay for $10.00!" So I can't win. :lol: Just PM me all Witco auctions and I'll be happy! :lol:
