eBay: Good to see some folks have money to spend, still...

This bowl was wrongly described as being from Mauna Loa, Hawaii, and as being of Maori design, but apparently enough people knew that it was a rare item from the Mauna Loa Mexico City (and inspired by PNG design):

In the last minute sniping war, it shot up to 221.- clams!

I always imagine the face of the unsuspecting seller when he opens the page! :)

Ah, I remember the good 'ol days when the bid was only $3.00. I was hoping no one else would spot that one, but with "Mauna Loa" in the title there wasn't much chance of that. Looks like KC got it.

That is a wonderful example, very unique in its coloring and design! :)
