I figured that the members of Tiki Central would like to have the opportunity to get some of the Tiki items that are going to be sold. After all, this is supposed to be furthering the tiki hobby. I have to vacate the property. I do not own the building. I must (as per my lease) return the building to the owners in the same condition I rented it in. That means that I must remove all of the decor, even the stuff on the walls (tapa, matting, bamboo, ect.) now that we have closed and the lease is being terminated. I am not selling the donated items unless there was an exchange or trade of items or the owners do not want them back. In other words, if I paid for it I am selling it. There have been many local collectors that have displayed an interest in purchasing items and they will be allowed to purchase what they please, just as can any of you. The reason I closed doesn’t change the facts I stated above. I do have final bills to include the final taxes, lights, gas, phone, and a small bank loan (not that it is any of your business) that I must pay off now that Hale Tiki is closed forever. Just normal things when a business closes. Also, I have no need for enough tiki stuff to cover my entire apartment three times over. I am building me a tiki room at my place and the rest must go. Again, for the record. I am not selling the few donated items that I have (I say few because the represent only a handful of the tiki decor I own). The folks that wanted some of the items back have contacted me and we have made arrangements. So, my misfortune is the tiki collectors gain. Those of you on here that don't like me can just relish this moment. Feel free to be as negative as you like and to pound my ass if it makes you feel better about yourselves. For those of you who love the hobby and want to own a piece of Hale Tiki, here is your chance. Here is the chance to own one of the "Basement Kahuna" originals that he carved for Hale Tiki. Or if you are not into copies, I have dozens of original pieces from the islands too. Either way we have a large grouping of great decor that must be sold and I would like for folks that appreciate tiki to own it. With much love, Brad
