Thanks for your reply and for your advice on this purchase.

This Witco piece is something that we have been wanting for a long time. We want this purely for the artistic appreciation and almost never buy art for any other reason, such as an eye toward future resale value (we don't picture ourselves ever wanting to sell any of our tiki collection!).

We are currently vacationing on the east coast and will be shipping all our purchases back to the west coast via Greyhound Shipping (slow, but cheap!).

Mahalo,

Curt

Well, it's not a "deal". It's not that overpriced either. At the moment, despite the publication of "Tiki Modern", Witco has not risen in price very much (because most people choose to not spend their money on this kind of "folly"...only some crazies do :) ). E-bay buyers are scared off by the high shipping cost of these muthas. So it cannot be recommended as an investment that will quickly appreciate. At this point, it is wholly a matter of how much you like this piece personally or not.
