I'm sure sticking his face in two identical pics is a good selling tool as well. He'd probably have more success calling it El Chupacabra. It sure ain't tiki.

Joined: Nov 09, 2004 Posts: 3687	T teaKEY Posted posted on Wed, Jul 2, 2008 8:52 AM I don't know but my sister went to Hawaii and wanted to get me something tiki and bought me two. There just piled in the corner. I heard that there isn't has much tiki as you would think over there. The last person I knew who went over their asked for me about tiki and they had no clue as to what she was asking for. Then said, Oh, that old tourist type stuff.

I could work it through him for consignment! The first time you see these "tiki" masks they look cool, until you realize how ubiquitous they are...

The teeth are for devouring dollars. I'm Sure it would look great on the wall of house built on some Central Southern Florida property I have for sale.

TSA Tiki Shark Art Member Joined: Aug 31, 2006 Posts: 3978	TSA Tiki Shark Art Posted posted on Fri, Jul 4, 2008 12:58 PM yeah, you see those over in the Farmers Market, and the "International Martket" here in Kona. Ones' I see the most are a bit smaller that that one, and are about $30 to $60. This one does look big, and it is a cool looking carving. Maybe not exactly a tiki. . You could hang it in your child's room! Like, over thier bed. Like Van Tiki's comment.. I got a "tiki" just like it (only mine was a foot tall) when I was in 4th grade on the big island. Hung on my door for years. Man, I loved that thing! This explains why Vantiki is creating so many scary looking giant mugs!

Our Philipino suppliers are one of many that makes them to export to Hawaii, people love them, we have had a few in the past and they sell like Hot cakes but at nowhere near that price!

It's worth what someone will pay. Maybe he should sign and number it to increase it's value. It's the ONLY one he has had for 15 years.
