That's just insane - those items are readily available on the Interwebs Series of Tubes for less - sometimes much less - than half that price. The Witco was also selling high, but I always think Witco is overpriced. I guessed that the fountain would fetch at least $1200, and if the auction was the Price is Right, I might have won the damned thing. :) Apparently, though, all of the loose items were selling high, including plastic tikis, masks, shields, etc. The biggest bargain seems to have been the installed fixtures, probably because no one had any idea how to get them out of there. The fireplace mantle, with two tikis, went for $550; two bidders split up the loot, each ending up with a pretty cool tiki. And one of the large tiki poles (Oceanic Arts?) went for $260.
