There's my 2 cents... Right now believing you'll be able to retire by selling tiki mugs is wishful thinking... sure tiki items are hot right now but as a solid investment they have yet to prove their true value...wait 10 years from now and aside from the fact that they'll be 50-60 years old, will their significance or desirability by antique buyers as a whole warrant the prices people are paying for them now? Something to think about...now let's trade something for that f-in' Hawaiian Room mug!! :wink: JohnTiki Aloha from the enchanted Pi Yi Grotto in exotic Bel Air Maryland!

But I will make it a priority to find you one! If I do find one, I'll probably let it go for $160 ;-]
