They may be culturally priceless, but in the real world, when buying/selling/trading stuff like this, it has to be given a price. In this case, I'm
just quoting the article, but if I were a collector, I would find it hard to pay more than 'thousands' (as I believe that would put us in the
'millions', as 'thousands', to me, includes ten and hundreds of thousands of dollars). After all, minus the history and cultural significance,
they are just rocks.
As far as the value of the individual Moais, no one here was willing to place a price on the statues, other than to say that collectors would probably
pay thousands of dollars for one
