I think the max I ever spent was on ebay and it was a Trader Vic Amber Stem mug for $30. I also gave $25 to an old lady who had a Stephen Crane Luau mug (with the tounge sticking out) when she was asking $15. I would have given here $30 if I would have had it. Now, I would spend $50 on a Hoffman Kahiki, but I would have to have some excess cash to justify it to my wife. In reality, I think $30 for a rarity to a collection is a fair price. I'm reluctant to spend much more. I'd rather hear / have stories of the $1.00 flea market or thrift store finds. Excellent topic and a plesant (normal) change to what we have been recently posting and reading. Thank you. :sheckymug: -C.
