Its amazing how much people charge for Tiki related items nowadays, I have been out and about in the Bay Area seeking out some steals in local antique stores and really haven't found any.

Just a couple of examples of what I have found, I found a complete set of Matson Line Menus, the bright and colorful ones, the guy wanted $110 to $135 for EACH menu.

I also found a person with a booth in an antique mall in Monterey, they had quite an assortment of mugs, nothing that uncommon, like the Tiki Leilani mug, priced at $38 and the Mark Thomas Outrigger mug, priced at $96.

I wonder how people think they can command those prices? I can understand someone charging a small premium for things, but to charge 3 to 4 times the amount for something?

I guess I can just be happy in knowing that they will never sell anything and end up broke...:)
