**Tikis are like buses you wait ages then three come at once **
First up an Indonesian made faux Marquisian mask bought for £2 in a Christian charity store.
The tiny little three inch tall Maori Tiki souvenir bought for a staggering £3, in the heart foundation charity store where I suspect from some of the stupid high prices that their pricer is getting ideas from ebay. The old lady behind the counter even had the cheek to as me what it was and when I said " a little new Zealand Tiki" she had this look that said yes I thought so that’s why I priced it so high.
Finally its one of bigbro Tiki’s least favourite Tiki, but my top find of the day, bought from the across town sister store from my first find of the day. When I spotted it on a shelf behind the counter I almost let out a shriek of surprise, but I quickly regained my composure and asked as casually as possible "what price that statue was?" At £7.50 I snatched it up.
I now have to confess to having suffered "Tiki Envy" at the size of other forum members Tiki's since I could never find a Tiki bigger than six inches but now I have a nine incher and finally feel I can stand erect and proud, yes my tiny Tiki shame is over.
