Hello. I am new to these forums though I have lurked off and on for a while. My mother was from Hawaii and I grew up with a fair amount of Hawaiian and tiki items in our home. I was wondering if you all could help me estimate the value of a large tiki that I own and that I would like to sell. I have very little idea of what something like this is worth. Please forgive me if I should be posting my question elsewhere.

This tiki has been in the family since sometime in the 1970s. I believe it was won in a radio contest (KFRC or KYA, I think). It stands about 7.5-foot tall and I'd guess that the wood is Hawaiian though I don't know what it is exactly.

Any advice you can give me on what to ask for this item along with any background info (is this a Hawaiian god?) would be very appreciated!
