Last week Goodwill had a large Treasure Craft moai with 3 chips on it for the outrageous price of $34.99, I had no remorse about walking past it. So for my money I’ll get my yard/estate sale list every Thursday night and go on a field trip. Mugs aren’t as cheap as they use to be but scores still can be had.
