Yeah, I'll spend some big bucks on a pre-Columbian piece of pottery which will always be considered re-sellable, but on a suffering bastard decanter?! When one already has a few?! My rent for the last several years in Athens, GA for my three bedroom house TOTALLED less than that last SB mentioned; the whole house monthly was $500! He paid more than the whole house's rent for a not-scarce-as-hen's-teeth decanter! For a one (well 4)-of-a-kind historical hand-carved tiki like the Pompano Beach ones, sure, but an SB?! Musing Out Loud, Bewildered
