I've seen two dealers in Orange doing this. They even say Accoutrements 2002 or whatever on the bottom, it obviously isn't an antique, and they're selling it for the same price as a PMP! The other problem I've noticed is that the mugs being produced by Dynasty Wholesalers look exactly like some of the old Orchids designs. I've seen one dealer that was selling a Dynasty mug at antique prices-- on the order of $10 -15. Crazy. Especially since you can buy these directly from dynasty for a couple bucks each. Of course, you usually have to buy mugs by the case if you order from Dynasty.
