By no means, does any post made here mean that the named account is fraudulent, but seems suspect and to be used by TCr's who experience fake buyers, or sellers who failed to communicate or send merchandise won. Shill bidders on Tiki related auctions should be exposed, as well as the false non paying bidders accounts. It can ultimately help TCr's awareness of such troubled ebay users. The best way to alert fellow Tiki Central users would be to include the Auction User name, Account type: (B) bidder or (S) seller, auction number, Item Description and brief explanation of what makes the auction seem suspicious.

In other words, nobody within the forums, users, posters, owners, contributors, adminstrators, or Web Hosting Services shall be held responsible for false accusations made herein. This is only to be used as reference as an attempt to keep ebay safe for TCrs both buyers and sellers of Tiki related merchandise ONLY. This would NOT be a place to report auctions about barbies, ebay motors, jewelry, UNLESS it is described as tiki/polynesian/polypop/hawaiiana

A TC member tried to rip off a bunch of people on ebay. The ebay name was "noticetrucker", here on TC he is "heatmizuh". He is the same guy, the email that was associated with his ebay account, paypal account and here on TC all matched. I even talked to him on the phone. He posted here about selling some Shag prints back in 2006. On 2006-10-05 10:59, heatmizuh wrote: Hi all! Here is a list of some Shag serigraphs that I am parting with. They are all in mint condition, and I am the original owner. Masquerade Party, #87 - $400 The Stairs, #185 - $300 The Effects of Space Radition, #137 - $350 Kava Kava Man, #89 - $350 The Incredible Bartender, #82 - $350 The Smiling Widow, #17 - $250 The Missing Suitors, #85 - $250 Tomorrowland, #52 - $250 Frontierland, #52 - $250 Music After Midnight, #57 - $300 The price beside each one is what I have invested it in. I'm not trying to make any money off of these, I just want them to go to a good Shag-loving home. Shipping should be around $10-$15 for each one depending on where you live, with the expection of Masquerade Party, which is huge, will be more like $20. (of course, you could probably MAKE money by selling em on Ebay, but I don't want to go to the trouble). I can send pictures, descriptions, etc., but I am sure most of you know what these are. They will be sold on a first-come, first-pay basis. I'll take Paypal, check or money order (checks'll hafta clear first though). Please, serious inquiries only -- I can be PM'ed here, or you may contact me at troy(dot)roberson(at)gmail(dot)com If you have ANY questions at all, please let me know. Thanks! Troy He listed the first 4 of the above prints on ebay, collected the money and never sent them out. The 4 of us that won them all paid with paypal, after all being charged more to do so, and got our money back. Use caution when buying any of the above prints.

TS Tom Slick Tiki Socialite The Beaches of South Bay, SoCal Joined: Aug 26, 2005 Posts: 1093	TS Tom Slick Posted posted on Sun, Sep 28, 2008 9:08 AM No problem. It started at this thread: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=29793&forum=12&27 But I didn't want to continue derailing the original post. Lots of "suspicious" ebay accounts on that thread, but some have seemed to pay. Thats why I didn't list the names here. I figure this could be the ebay "bad experience" with {insert ebay user ID here} for future reference, and to try to help keep Tiki Central ebay users a little more safer!

T tikitabby Tiki Centralite Naramata, B.C. Canada Joined: Dec 25, 2007 Posts: 33	T tikitabby Posted posted on Mon, Mar 5, 2012 10:22 PM Very interesting... I've collected vintage Coco Joe's for many years now and had noticed some odd pieces on eBay in the last little while, including a couple featured in this link. I had no idea people were making fakes, but you could definitely tell there was something off about them. Thanks for sharing this!

I guess if one doesn't do their research they are welcome to pay the higher prices. Still selling on Gecko's site for $20.00-I bought an extra one for my son's upcoming 10th birthday.
