Anyway as a new member of TikiCentral I would love for someone to explain to me why anything Tiki but not by Josh Agle is often listed as Shag on Ebay. Do these idiot sellers think they will draw in other collectors who will fall in love with their crappy wares if they misrepresent them? When I search "Shag mugs" I want mugs by Josh Agle, not every cheap retro drinking item ever made. I for one would never buy from any seller who misrepresented their item no matter how much I liked it. If they will lie about the artist to attract viewers, they will certainly lie about condition of the mug, and lie about their ever sending you the mug you paid for.
