Anyone feel free to say anything. I will just continue to post when I get that feeling. Although, I hope to start making some art and less time on TC. TC can be like a drug. You love it but its hard to get off of. Take Gecko for instance. Probably makes the best mugs, cause he put more time and love into each piece. His Mouth of Pele is the sweetest mug that I have been looking at for the moment. The price just keeps going up and so it should. Its a great mug with a low number. And gecko tells you up front, how many he is going to make of that mug and sticks to it. He makes that small amount of number that is less than the number of died-hard collectors. Smart. So, I keep looking at the Pele mug and its going for over 150.00 and since the mugs are reaching that price, the price will continue to go up. Now on ebay, there is a brown version of the mug for cheap. 30 left at the moment, and I haven't even bought one yet. Heck, I just bought a couple of mugs and I like to buy all at once. But.. LOve this design. Love the black color. Now that the brown ones are out, does the design still hold that magic? How many will be made? (maybe we should never know) 30 left, is there going to be more and when?? Does having these cheaper versions, raise or lower the price of the black, and does the black ones pull the brown ones up. I do know that the more affordable Gecko mugs are never there for long. And its becoming a "get them quicker" more and more each day. |
