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.
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...
I don't really disagree with you (that much.)
For the sake of curiosity, I typed "Tiki Bob" into ebay and found one auction that closes in 2 days and the price is already at $36.99! Sheesh! That's kinda pricey for something so common. So, there's one Tiki Bob on eBay, and I've never seen one in my explorations at stores and flea markets. So it's kinda rare, kinda not. I do know that I've never paid that much for a single Tiki Mug!
Personally I have a bit of a bias against ebay, so my opinion is a little colored. It somehow feels like cheating to me. :)
