jenkevcharleston,

With all due respect, Tiki Central is not an appraisal service.

Especially for someone such as yourself, who is clearly out to simply re-sell something that is considered extremely historic, important and, some might even say, sacred to some of us.

If you were sharing the find because you were excited about it or actually wanted to know more about it's background, significance, etc., fine. But, c'mon. It is just not cool to waltz in here and blatantly display the dollar signs in your eyes.

This is one of the big problems associated with the obvious decline in quality content on Tiki Central these days....
Far too many "How much is this worth?" "Is this Tiki?" "How could I get the most for this?" types of questioning.

It is a blatant insult to those that take this culture seriously to so overtly express that you have no other interest in it than a monetary one.

Perhaps you could've at least approached the question with the slightest hint of curiosity about it's provenance?
Maybe the tiniest indication of even faking a depth of interest other than your greed?

Leave us alone and go back to counting your money.
