The range of prices of these Tiki's is vast. New, crudely carved ones are obviously very cheap, but older, intricately carved ones can go for massive amounts of money as they can be of museum quality. My tip is to try getting one from the source - New Zealand. A quick Google search came up with this fine page: This particular sentence, "The name tiki (penis) is one which is applied to stone statues elsewhere in Polynesia" caught my eye though as it brings new meaning to 'Tiki' Central......
