Not sure if this is the fella that picked this piece up from that estate sale in Oakland a few weeks back but perhaps someone can work a better offer than $350.00!

Yeah - I'm pretty sure it's V-TownTiki who's selling this...

V-Town = Vallejo

Quite a mark-up for the sub-$100 price tag... plus it was half-off, but I'm not bitter for missing it by minutes... really, I'm not... i swear :wink:

I'm confused...what do you mean sub-$100 price tag? 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'm just saying that he bought this Witco piece at an estate sale for a great price - now he is trying to sell it for much more... he has the right to ask whatever price he chooses, although I think that still is high.
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.

I have this Witco myself. It sits in my living room wall, and I think it's worthy piece.

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.
