eBay: Rare Shag Collectible - Tiki Marketplace

Well, I ended up buying three, sold two (one for $450 to a guy in Japan) which more than paid for mine. I think the price was $110, can't remember for sure. After the second set of Shag mugs came out, I purchased three sets at Wacko. One set I sold, one set I kept and the third set I used as gifts to each person in my wedding. Before everyone gets their panties in a wad about me re-selling, read the article by Robert Williams in Juxtapoz, which in essence states a secondary market actually helps promote a artist, and is a gauge of success.
