Slimman, if your welcome to TikiCentral seems less than warm, please don't take it personally. You have fallen into the classic newbie trap by asking the next logical question; "Wow, if this chair/mug/tiki item I have is so rare, what is it worth?"

Please understand that people often show up to ask these questions of the resident experts then run off to sell their collectibles at a premium price, never to be seen again. Mocking these people is a popular form of entertainment here. If, after owning these chairs for seven years, your intent is to suddenly cash in on them, then I guess you have earned your share of disdain. However, if your are interested in learning more about Witco and Tiki in general, you will find a wealth of information and plenty of warm, friendly people here.

And the answer to your question is that it is only worth what you can get someone to pay for it :) There are Witco pieces on eBay right now ranging from $10 to $4,000. The only way to find the true value of anything is to auction it.
