Trader Woody Errr...I wasn't asking anything about the value or future value of the mugs. I just wanted to know a little something about them because I've got a ceramic piece that seems to use the same design motif (sort of). I think it's a great design and now that they're gone I lust for them! If you think I'm into tiki for investment purposes then you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm the first mofo scrambling to Target/Dollar Tree/TJ Maxx/Spencers etc to get my tiki fix! And a word to investors/speculators: The day I got into Tiki was the day your dreams for your collection funding your kid's college education were crushed. Anything I get interested in becomes a money loser! Bank on it. The tiki market's gonna crash soon so cash in your chips now! Anyone interested in some Sub Pop singles for cheap?? :wink:
