What was even sadder were the prices on the rest of the mugs in that display. $125 for a Mark Thomas Outrigger Moai!? $45 for a Harvey's Hula Girl?! What a ripoff.

Yeah, some of the prices were outrageous. I think he had a Tiki Bob from the Bali Hai by the Lake for like $165. Little high priced, even for a tiki bob. We did pick up a plate and teacup from the luau, though. In the time I've been hunting tiki stuff, I've never seen anything like that in the wild. They were a bit overpriced but not too bad. I wouldn't be able to afford service for eight or anything like that, but they were too cool to pass up.
The Outrigger mug, though? No way. I was telling the Missus, at those prices, 99% of this stuff will still be there the next time we stop in. It seems strange to have a booth at an antique mall if your prices are so high that you never sell anything. Just doesn't make any sense to me.
