Last night at the show, I heard several collectors say the following right after buying items.......
"I'm a collector, this is going in my house, not on Ebay".

I think its great that so many true collectors of Tiki were there last night and felt so seriously about their collection and intentions.

In every hobby you have collectors and businessman. Obviously the people who bought those chalices for ebay are about business and money. But for every few of those, theres a dozen that are into it for the pleasure of collecting. Besides, for those people out of state, ebay may be the only chance they have to get one.

You had to figure these would end up on Ebay. Its a one time collaboration of 4 great Tiki artists. Hey I'm not surprised they didn't sell them on ebay before the show, like the did with the shag mugs.

Hey, don't feel too bad about not getting one. I promoted the show, and didn't get one last night either.
