There are a few other things to remember--
The date on which some of the high prices occurred. The $200+ selling price on Ebay was over a year ago, and hasn't hit that high since. Also keep in mind that there are a few varieties of tiki bob mugs, so the one that sold for over $200 may not have been similar to the one you're selling. Or maybe it was just in really good condition. Anyway, here's the most recent set of prices, copied off Ooga-Mooga:
2007-04-06 $76.62 eBay
2007-02-20 $76.00 eBay
2007-02-14 $106.05 eBay
2007-02-11 $80.00 eBay
2007-02-07 $80.00 eBay
2007-02-03 $28.72 Other
2007-01-10 $102.50 eBay

These are all from this year. The really high prices mostly occurred more than one year ago. Chances are the times when it hits over $100 is when you've got a bidding war right at the end. I wouldn't accept less than $75 for one, but based on the current trend, I don't think you'd have much reason to expect over $100.
In my opinion, the demand for these has dropped. The people willing to pay over $100 for a tiki bob already have one, and those that aren't willing to pay the price have been without, and are probably content to be so, at least while the price remains high.
