In the past month I've picked up an Islander Bucket Mug for $4.99, an Islander Kon-Tiki for $19.99 and a Mr. Bali Hai for $26.00 - all in very good shape. The eBay market is fickle; one day I forget to bid on a Mr. Bali Hai lighter offered at $9.99 and it goes unsold, the next week another goes for $135. To get eBay prices you have to sell in the eBay market, not outside of it. Also consider that the only way one is going to get high eBay prices is to release them slowly, which would take several months. This is effectively a wholesale offer so I don't think the seller can reasonably expect to get high, eBay market pricing. I would offer somewhere between $5 - $7 per mug for the whole lot.
