I want to get your opinions as to the best place to find tiki mugs and other items in the wild.

I don't mean retail or ebay, but the other options.

Where do you find most of your finds?

Thrift shops?
Garage/estate sales?
Flea Markets?
Antique dealers?
Other?

I have found most at thrift shops, but then I go there more often than the other kinds of places. I've found a decent amount at flea markets and antique dealers. And while I have found some cool stuff at garage and estate sales, it's just retro stuff, not tiki.

But should I be going to more flea markets? should I stick to thrifting?

And don't worry about me taking away from your finds, because I only really compete with tikisgrl.

I'm in Maine, remember?
