Sorry, my bad. I was afraid of doing that but I figured the thread had run its course.

Let me put it back on track with my original unanswered question from the previous page:

I'm curious, what was the biggest appeal for most of the stuff being sold? Was it a good deal, price-wise? Were these unique designs? Does the fact they came from an offical Trader Vic's make them special?

It seems that most of these pieces were done 1980's or later, so what would make them more desirable than Tikis you could pick up at Oceanic Arts or a local carver?

Really dude, passing judgement on someone on this site for wanting something from Trader Vic's is like traveling to Israel and then complaining about all the Jews. If you don't get the appeal you just don't get it. Here is another revelation: People who read Cat Fancy like cats. Also fish like water.

If you had actually been there Sunday you would have seen the warehouse completely empty out of customers just before 2:00 so people could support the Forbidden Island Parking Lot Sale. And there you would have seen many large Tiki's being sold and by golly they were made by a white man with a chain saw in the good old U.S.A.
