Value of 50's Velvet Painting - take a look - Collecting Tiki

An item such as this is more apt to be valued by what someone is willing to pay for it then a set "book price", so it's really subjective. It has merit with an attractive theme, nice frame, signature, etc. At auction you could expect a wide range of prices depending on who happened to be shopping at that time. It's just one of those things that could sell for $45 or $145 (for example). eBay auctions are not known for consistency. The painting is nice and would definitely make many a tiki collector happy to own, but it isn't the Holy Grail of Polynesia, so don't worry about making a mistake and selling it too cheaply. I recommend asking her what she thinks is a fair price. Then go from there. Leave another post with the offer, counter-offer or list it on ebay and just let it roll. If all else fails, I'll give you $3.50 for it. :)
