That's why I just can't spend $60 - $100 US on a tiki bob. I have this feeling that some day one will come to me some other way. Or maybe he'll just haunt my dreams forever :) For me, the thrill is in the hunt. It is FAR more satisfying finding something in the "wild", so to speak, than spending a fortune to buy it on Ebay... and not just because you're getting a good deal finding at a flea market or thift store. Don't get me wrong, getting a good deal is great too. But the difference between finding it at a thrift store and buying on Ebay is is like the difference between catching a big fish yourself and having it mounted ... as opposed to buying a fish that is already been stuffed and mounted (which I have seen people do). What would be the fun of that?
