Good deal or not??? (Vintage TV salt / pepper shakers) - General Tiki

Unless you're a merchant, that crap shouldn't worry you. Tiki collecting should be a fun, worry-free experience. That said, I picked up a TV's salt and pepper set for $5 at an antique mall. I think that was probably a pretty good deal, based on the prices I've seen on eBay ($10-15). But I've also overpaid for a lot of my collection and it really doesn't bother me at all. It's not about finding great deals - it's about finding and acquiring cool stuff. Come to think of it, this hobby is pretty superficial. Oh well.
