I am preparing to sell my Witco God of Fortune fountain. It was rescued last year, but has all of the original pieces. There are ZERO sales to give me some idea of its value. Can the good readers here give me a hand? I want to find a proper home for this guy.

For some reason people tended to throw those away. Floor space issues, probably. A grand might be high, but maybe not. If someone wants one bad enough, they might pay that. $500-$750 is pretty typical for those.

A bit, but I was not trying to get you to change it or anything, just sayin. Got mine years ago. I never see the good stuff at any price today. Something is worth what a person will pay. Heck those Disney tiki items are off the hook now. There is more to a Witco than Disney stuff in my book.
