When I saw that Trader Vic's set on Ebay it made me sick to my stomach. I saw it when it was first listed, wanted it terribly and knew there was no way that I could even bid on it.

Yep, and I only "need" one of them! Don't know how I will ever get one, I ain't paying triple digits. I think the Ebay prices for the large part are "artificial" and mugs as a whole will fall off to more "sane" levels just as your cocktail shakers did. I do recall how hot those items were a few years back. But vintage mugs back to a few bucks or so? Doubt it.

The "Ebay buyers are insane" topic was hevily debated back at Yahoo. It's a market, but in no way should be used as a guage of real world worth. Like that brand new $300 Mai Kai mug exhibited a few months back...it's an artificial market. But fun to sell into, hee hee!
