Maori Statue ~ Any Worthpoint Subscribers?

[SDIceMan]

I picked up a great wooden carving at ‘the’ big chain store the other day. It stands 18” tall and has the traditional face tattoo of the Maori with beautiful paua shell eyes.

I found an identical statue on an auction site that looks as if it sold for $743. Here is a screenshot and a link:

I also found this one (10.25” instead of 18”) on Worthpoint, but I don’t have a subscription. Would anybody be willing to check the sold price for me?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks very much bdsawyer! Kind of a bummer that it sold for so much less than the one on the other auction site. I think I’ll do a buy-it-now with a best offer option and hope for the best. Thanks again!

No problem! Hope you can get a little more for yours, good luck.

A long overdue update. I sold this statue on January 12th for $650, about one hour after listing it. I listed it at $750 or best offer, and countered an offer of $550 with $650, which was subsequently accepted by the buyer. It was really awesome to replenish my dwindling bank account after the Christmas season! Thanks again, and happy hunting!
