From this week:

I've been finding some cool stuff recently...

Pair of Maori Patu

I've been binging on $1 used CDs for a little over a year now. This week I found a licensing promo copy of a Les Baxter sampler compilation. Contact info on it is for Thomas Baxter:
Front book cover

back book cover

Jewel box back cover

There were a bunch of cds like this in the pile. It looked like they came from some movie/tv/production company. All different artists, labels, and genres that were all produced by the individual artist's publishing company. Most of them were packaged as songs available for movie soundtracks.

Nicely carved 13" wood Moai. I saw this early in the day, but not early enough. Some guy bought it, and then had it in his booth for resale, where I happened upon it, and paid a little markup. Still a good deal, I think, at $20



Carving and detail wise, that's probably the best one I have. Here's my Moai collection:

One step short for the best deal on this next one too... I saw it in a seller's booth only after the 6th time I passed it this morning. he had just put it out before my last lap. I got excited because he was a junk dealer, not a collectables seller, so I knew it'd be cheap. As I stepped towards it to get it, I saw an arm go down and grab it mere milliseconds before I could. When I looked at the guy holding it, I recognized him as the antique store back alley deal guy that I bought the club and King's bowl from two weeks ago. I told him after he paid for it to come meet me in the next booth down, and I wink-winked at him to let him know I wanted it. We walked down a few yards where he sold it to me. He paid $10, sold it to me for $20.... Once again, a good deal, I think, but it could have been cheaper if I was faster!

29" Tahitian Marquesan Adze/ceremonial decorative tiki club:

Buzzy out!
