How could it be worth that much?

Thats crazy!

It's probably not worth that much, and it's certainly not to me, I don't like Godzilla finishes....but it is a rather hard to find item.

Me either, although I guess they would not show scratches as easy.
I just found worse:

My SIL found one at an estate sale, that's why we were looking them up. I am unclear about whether she thought it had this finish.
LOL - I mistakenly called it a "Gorilla" Finish Charlee! :D Godzilla! Got it!
