Last week I went to a flea market and found a wooden tiki mug for $8.00. I was so thrilled to FINALLY find something tiki not on Ebay that I bought it without giving it a second thought. When I got home I checked out Ebay to see if there was anything similar and there was...going for half the price I paid for it or less!

My question is, Is it more in keeping with the spirit of tiki to find things in the wild rather than bidding on Ebay...EVEN THOUGH it may mean spending more $$$??

I've been hitting the local Goodwill stores at least twice a week and the only thing I ever found cheap was an Al Harrington glass (which is now on Ebay...plug - plug - plug) so it's not very often that I find anything REALLY cheap. I went to a vintage store in Dallas recently and found a Daga tonga mug for $11.00 which I thought was high but I bought it anyway...mainly because I didn't have to bid on it. But would it be better to save money if it means buying on Ebay?? Im so confused...
