Fair Market Value for Mugs (et al) - Collecting Tiki

Watch and see what it's "worth." There won't be a price guide ever. The market is simply too small. A few mugs have a standard value. But there are still new mugs emerging. And a new mug gets a high dollar. You can only know your mugs. Research on Ebay. Post sales info on Ooga Mooga. I try to add price sightings every time I am there. It's very quick and easy to pick a mug you can easily search for with few or no price sightings and find it on Ebay and add some data. That's the closest we'll get. BUT! If I find a $100 mug for $1, that skews the data and the "value" of the mug. It's still a $100 mug, but the Ooga Mooga value is now perhaps $50 instead of $100 ($1 + $100 / 2 = ~$50) It might be a good update to show a market price for mugs on Ooga Mooga. Ebay pricing only.
