I disagree.

Example -- I've never come across a Kahiki No.1 mug in a flea market, thrift/antique store, etc. So, does that make it rare? Of course not. I've never come across it in any of those places yet because I'm on the West Coast. But they're always on eBay.

Just cuz it's on eBay doesn't make it common.

Even if it's something that's always on eBay? I don't think there's ever been a time longer than a few weeks where a Tiki Bob mug wasn't available on eBay. As such, they seem somewhat accessible and therefore, not very rare (IMHO). As a side note, the price that people pay for them doesn't make them rare.

I guess we just disagree...
