Questions for the mug experts... How much should I pay for these? - Collecting Tiki

Seeing the Orchards mugs first got me going because I've seen them in other collections, so I was thinking I have to have these, they're tiki collector's items. I mean, its one thing to collect new mugs like I mostly have but I would like the classics if I come across them. Then I came across the others, by that time I'm adding up $20 a crack in my head for half a dozen mugs and I'm remembering that I'm poor. I want these in the collection but decided that I needed to research the actual price that most others here would pay. I would have kicked myself if I blew $20 a mug when I find out that they can be obtained for $5. But I see your side too Swanky, how bad do I want them in the collection now... or will I come across them in the future. Time will tell I guess, I need to buy supplies for my carvings this weekend... Flounder, they want $40 for both of those mugs... a bit steep I realise now... unless you think different?
