Anyway, just a few quick, generic questions if you have a second... Provided you liked the artwork, how likely would you be to buy a print or poster of original tiki art over the internet? Would you buy it only if you could pay with credit card, or would you send a money order? Would you prefer to buy prints through an established site like ebay? How much would you expect to spend? *** If you are selling or making tiki art yourself, do you have any good advice? Thanks a bunch to anyone who answers :) -Wahine.

I am always interested and seeing what new things come up as I definitely do not have the artistic ability and rely on others to make my tiki bar and walls look good. (My part of stimilating the economy). Definitely PayPal and also look how others are title-ing (if it is a word) their works on e-bay. (Please watch out for the overuse of "Shag" in the title).
