Rupe33,

I have my system that has been working well and producing heavily. "If I tell you then I would have to kill you" Ha Ha.

Anyway if you are looking for mugs the ones most prominent are:

Huki Lau
Bali Hai (mostly tiki bob's)

Where to search for these wonderful mugs. Best places is going to be in the thrift stores. The best one is Salvation on Jefferson. Try to do the Saturday morning run. That means you got to get in line at 8:50 to be first in. Doors open at 9:30. Bring sunscreen and shade. Look for me I will be wearing the hawaiin print. Mugs for 50 cents or $3. I scored 3 on one day.

The other stores that have also produced are the Bridge House. Don't need to do anything special.

The flea markets are cleared out. Haven't seen anything good for a while. I know that there are 2 Huki Lau's at the Jefferson woman is charging I think $15 a peice. You can also pick one up the flea market on Airline.

Magazine will charge anywhere from $15 to $35 just for Leilani.

Also there is a woman at the end of Decator that I happen into that has a few tiki items. I am going to have to give you directions though. PM me if you want them. You will pay top dollar though. She had a cool tiki rock art hanging thing that I thought was reasonable.

BR . . . I tend to stay away from. Don't do the flea market its lame.

Anyway, PM if you want to talk.
