<p>[QUOTE="Petunia, post: 4166766, member: 19384"]Thank you, I appreciate the info, I really do, can you post pics of yours? This has gotten wayyyyy out of hand, the man I purchased everything from was selling his mother's estate, he said she traveled to Africa on senior's tours and such and just bought lots of souvenirs, had these shipped home, etc. I found a similar one that sold for $400 with the help of someone on this site. Then another person was comparing them to the $20 desk-top figurines of the silly figurines playing the guitar and riding skateboards, motorcycles, etc. So, it has not been fun in the least...</p><p><br /></p><p>I like this site as I usually find the weirdest, unique, odd items and love the professional and knowledgeable advice people give. It's just sad that I'm now referred to as a fraud, a con artist, a much-hated person, and my Ebay account is being flagged....very harsh, to say the least. I just came back on this site to thank you for the info on the ones you have. I do not mind if someone pays $100 for each of them. I purchased them and had to also pay to have them delivered to my home. They are super heavy, very large, solid wood, hand carved and signed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I admit I'm a complete amateur, but they are striking and certainly appear to be African tribal people - I do know know of any other culture they were trying to depict? Anyway, thanks for letting me vent, if someone on Ebay wants to buy decorative statues, I do not think that's a crime. My apologies to all who think I'm mis-leading the general public, my fault in not knowing how to describe/list them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
