wow very interesting indeed.

even funnier how people keep taking shots about those damn mugs....

seriously youd think i had punched someones mother in the face.

guys they are cups my wifes grandmother gave us. ultimately im listing that stuff as she says. i figured id stop in here because it seems you guys are awfully fanatic about the stuff and list it for you to bid on.

and yes one of the mugs sold for $225. i dont know why people are getting so pissed off about it. its not like im taking the money to the bar. perhaps it would make those who are bitter feel better if they knew we are taking all the money we are making off these cups and sending my wifes grandmother on vacation (maybe hawaii!!) shes in remission from cancer, and we figured, if money is made off of them, what better to spend it on than to send grandma on vacation? after all, they WERE her cups.

Anyway, so thats why we've been so vigilant to sell them on ebay and maximize what we can make off of the cups. otherwise, id give em to whoever for $10 each. I only wanted to keep one or two for myself because im a fanatic about detroit history and the story of the mauna loa absolutely intrigues the hell outta me.

so all that being said... i am going to continue to post the rest on ebay, so feel free to check the tiki marketplace as i will be posting just a few more listings. before they are all gone.

thanks guys!
