I have been wanting to share Neptune's Headhunter for a few months. First of all, he saw this headhunter at an estate sale over a year ago. The people running the estate sale were taking bids on him. He called the next day to find out that he had lost the bid. I have to admit I was thrilled.

Fast forward a year and low and behold, Neptune is walking the flea market looking for treasures and there he is with a price tag of $2000.00 around his neck. Neptune goes up to the guy (who he knows) and asked him if he got it from the estate sale and he said he did. He knew he did not pay anything close to that amount. He asked him where it has been all this time and he said in his garage and the misses wanted it OUT!

Neptune told him we had some items that he may be interested in as a trade for the headhunter ---- your basic junk that we were getting rid of. So he loaded up the van with an old table, snow boots(it is Florida --- not a lot of use for those), a bowling ball without the holes, pewter dishes, silk flowers, etc. He opened up the van and everything was a hit --- so he got this headhunter for $200.00 with the trade. He is actually from the 1950's and from the Philippines.

He sits in our computer room and I softened him up a bit by placing a lei around his neck!
