I look at new mugs like Ty Beanie Babies. They should all be about $10, but there's some sort of value added by collectors that is a sort of fiction. A Shag mug is worth $8 as a mug. If you don't know or care who Shag is, it's worth $5-10. And the fact that you can buy it new off the shelf seems less valuable to me.

The only real way to do a price guide is to rate on rarity and imagine a price that way.
