Here's a (I think) great idea. There will be a TC booth right??? If so or if there is someone willing to host the clipboard then everyone with a trade mug available could list the mug. When you check the list for items you are looking for, find that person and make the deal. Those items are then crossed off the list by both parties. There could even be a time for trade- ex, sign up your goods by 3 PM Sat. Trading til 4 pm. Item exchanges could happen right after between those two people at their rooms. This eliminates leaving your goods or unnessary handling of items. We all have a pretty good idea of the styles of mugs and the mugs we want to get our hands on. If someone wants to see one, just find that person, it will still be in the owners hands. Or there could be a time for meeting and viewing or questions before trading if there are a lot of participants. (I don't think there will be an overwhelming amount of traders) I also think the sign-up method would be the most discrete way of doing this while offering everyone a fair chance to see all the items available.

Ex-

Laney
TV skull mug-marked
SB Sm. Bottle w/box
5 TV coconut mugs

Sugar Caddy Daddy
Kono Hawaii "modern looking" tiki mug-marked
TV seahorse mug-blue
2 PMP mugs

Etc....

Items would be crossed off after trade by both parties and initaled.

I don't know why I'm so interested in this because I don't have any tiki stuff to trade and chances are won't even be there. I just see something bad happening if people leave their mugs in the hands of others-esp. drunk nonTCers "checking things out" Or the person in charge getting screwed.
Good Luck-this could be fun
