For those who are interested in where the tikis came from, and if they were from the Trader Vic's warehouse sale, here's the info. They are not from the Trader Vic's warehouse sale. They are the two tikis that sold at Clar's Auction House the same weekend as the first TV warehouse sale. Here is some info that Midnite sent to me about the auction: 6129 Modern, Hawaiian style palmwood 'kou' statue, South Pacific figure, 6'8''h $750 6246 Maori style statue carved from palmwood, South Pacific figure, 6'8''h $1,000 From that Clar's auction. No more pics on their website that I can find. maybe in their feedback. They were the same tikis. I double checked with the guys selling these, and indeed they bought them at Clar's Auction House. They didn't even hear about the Trader Vic's warehouse sale until way after it was over. One guy definitely had dollar signs in his eyes as he lamented about missing the warehouse sale. I snapped off a few pics, and then quickly headed out as the guys there started to bad mouth Forbidden Island. Stay classy, Alameda.
