Just this week I discovered TikiChic was using a second TC profile (profile: hioutput) to attempt to acquire a second set of Grand Member Shag prints. When I confronted her about it, she admitted to me that she was signing these messages "Jason".
The email name coming from the second TC profile? "gr8stuff4me". How similar is that to this eBay seller on this auction(gr8stuff4me2)?
TikiChic claimed that she was doing this for her "brother-in-law", but my records show that Tikichic was the only person to ever log into the profile.
Interestingly, she's deleting her TC posts now.
My guess is if I had shipped her the Shag prints they would have ended up on eBay pretty quickly, just like this auction.
I dislike having to make posts like this.

I happened to send an Ebay message to the seller asking why they put the time and effort into finding the Treasure, then sell off their booty on Ebay. I got a very courteous response from the seller. Apparently both the seller and her husband sought the Treasure, and both found it about the same time. Since they both got sets of mugs from Dagmar (aka Holden @ Tiki Farm), they didn't feel they needed to keep both. So, off to Ebay one went.
I never inquired if the Seller, or her husband, were part of Tiki Central. I would have thought that announcing the Ebay listing on TC would have brought in a higher price than she got.

Good thing I settled for 3rd place! And, NO, its mine mine mine!! But thanks for the offer, SoccerTiki! Make sure your First place booty is in a SAFE place, WooHoo! Sounds like SoccerTiki is sneaking around seeking more treasures.
Can't wait for round two and more booty!

Holden - do you promise that I won't have to go on any 90-year-old-docent-led San Clemente Historical Society Museum tours this time?

Aloha TC Ohana,
The first clue will be provided tommorow at 12:00 noon pst on http://www.tikimugs.com under our Contests section. You will have to visit 6 different websites to complete the Great Tiki Treasure Hunt. Once completed, you must immediately send an email to submit@tikimugs.com naming the sites you've visited, in order. The grand prize winner will receive a limited edition (only 20 made) sterling silver Great Tiki Treasure Hunt doubloon pendant (designed by Derek Yaniger) and a $50 gift certificate. 2nd, 3rd & 4th place finishers will receive a doubloon.
Good luck & happy hunting!
Holden

Aw crap! You mean the contest hasn't even started yet? GROG thought the first clue was "Coming soon", so GROG went to Peter North's website which led GROG to at least 6 other porn websites. GROG thought GROG was winning contest, but the damned thing hadn't even started! Funny thing was, all the porn sites had links to Holden's Myspace page.
