..and then this weekend, whilst dragging myself around a car-boot sale, I spotted this mug face down in a junk box at the side of a stall. I simply couldn't believe it, I reached down and turned it over and read "Don the Beachcomber" I almost screamed but i had to put on my most severe poker face unless i alerted the seller to my desire. I swear the world went quite, I went into shock, I nearly dropped the mug, I had to appear uninterested in the mug so I went through the rest of the box incase other mugs were hiding, chipped plates and broken toys.
I asked the seller "how much this vase?" (I make a point of never referring to the things i buy by name in case the sellers do research on there own)and the guy said "aw 50p for that". At that moment I was pretty sure I was still asleep and this was a dream, but I handed over my 50p (that's $0.96)and floated away.
One of the best things about this find apart from finding one of the rare high-rolling signature tiki mugs for less than the cost of cup of tea, was that just two stalls along was the car-boot dealer who'd charged me £4.00 for a Tiki Lelani Mug.
Brilliant find, Atomic!
Congrats...
