I am aware of three: the severed head, the large nose native, and a polynesian girl bust.

And that one was kinda mis-listed at Ron Clark's and not Ren Clarks... Good luck and happy bidding! LOL [ Edited by: Cool Manchu 2005-10-07 15:32 ]

The lady looked like she had heard that about a million times.

I don't know, usually when an item seems to pop up because it's predecessor got an unusual high amount the week before, the previous bidders are frustrated and don't go at it again right away. But then, this bugger is always an exception. Watching his auctions is a little like going to the races. The one listed shows how ridiculous it looks right side up. And the paintjob is not as nice. But I love the seller's comment: "...don't bug us about stopping the auction. If he doesn't sell, please don't try to make a deal unless it's a 1951 Studebaker, that runs!"

Ren Clark also has a signature tiki that looks like he has a bloated tummy or is holding something on his chest.

I'd pass out tracs of "Tikiwatch" instead of "Watchtower," with a "Have you seen this severed head?" panel on the back, like a milk carton. And then I'd offer 'em $50 whole dollars if they had one... I'd even let them haggle me up 10X that amount....
