So last Saturday my two daughters and myself are doing the thrift store thing and they are no digging it at all. The first store we hit I find a peanut guy, then a Trader Dicks surfer girl. Already have a surfer so I put it back down hoping the Tiki Gods will show me good fortune. Well guess what, at the end of a 6 hour day I go to the final thrift store in town. I went by this glass case like two times looking inside seeing nothing but the third time I look on top of it and see a black moai from The Fireside in Wisc. you can all understand my excitment and it was only $3.50 way cool. So we stroll around the rest of the store the I find the real goldmine. A TikiBobs look a like from the Bali Hai, then 2 black Aku Tiki mugs (BOT176) without the markings. So as I can barely contain myself I walk up to the counter to pay. As they ring it up they tell me today is 25% off day. So when all is said and done I get a TikiBob, a black moai, and 2 black Aku Tiki's for a whole $9.00. So to all of you who doubt the thrift store find doesn't exist here you go! |
