At the Estate sale? So this Witco piece or one like it sold for only $100? And then was marked up to $350.? Do most people who buy and sell Witco mark up that much? I'm trying to learn about Witco...

I can't blame him really - I'm just kinda bummed because I was only a few minutes late from buying it for that great price myself.

V V-TownTiki Member Vallejo,Ca Joined: Oct 18, 2008 Posts: 10	V V-TownTiki Posted posted on Thu, Oct 30, 2008 6:22 PM Okay you caught me. Just wanted to set a hook out there. Just to defend myself against any attacks over whether I'm just and schmuck trying to make a buck. I may be a new member to tiki central ,but have been collecting and enjoying Tiki for a long time. Yes,I got it for a very good price, but the sale was open till 6 on friday. opened at 7am on saturday and I didn't get there till after 9 on saturday. Plenty of time for someone else to pick it up. Trader Bill sorry I beat you there. If anyone wants to buy it let me know i'm sure we can work out a screamin' deal . At least I know it will go to a good home.
