The mugs have gone for $200 and more, so it is in line with that Ebay will bring. Would I pay that much? That's another mattter. Real funny when you consider they went for $6.95 new. The posts about what other sellers will think their "tiki" is worth is spot on. Each month one or another fellow tiki mug collector tells me "the days of $100 mugs are coming to an end"...and each time I think "hmmmm, maybe, but I don't think so". Cheers
