Two weeks time, doing six days of the swapmeet, one Goodwill grand opening morning(#97 in line), and the new San Diego vintage flea market had this pile of stuff for me:

Brand spanking new metal Primo sign

The guy I bought this from laughed at me after I paid for it because he said he got it for free from his friend. I laughed back at him and told him to look it up on ebay and see how much more money I was going to make than he was off of it. I had a hassle with the same guy two days earlier over another item. He pulled the "I don't know what I want to sell it for, how much is it worth to you?" routine and I pulled the throw the item down on the ground, walk away briskly while yelling "I don't do appraisals!" in absolute disgust routine. I probably won't get a good price from him again.

Coco Joe's tagged monster leaf ashtray, Bali Hai ashtray, Club Tradewinds ashtray, Kahiki, Bali Hai, and Kelbo's matches

A headhunter couple:

Two tiki candles and a Maui 2000 carving

Coco Joe's Menehune and a HIP god of wisdom pendant

Hula Mug, Rasta Mug, and a pair of S+P shakers

I overpaid for the S+P shakers($2!), but I was all caught up in the excitement of the Goodwill Grand Opening. I made it up on a $20 guitar, which turns out is worth a bit more than that, a few moments later.

Non tiki crossover stuff: Buzz's Daga mug(gift from Gavin), trio of 1959 shriners Chicago glasses, and a Squid Skull stack Tfarm mug

Art survey book and Bulldog scrapbook

The scrapbook was from a Poway couple who went all over the country in 1963 to enter their bulldog in a bunch of dog shows. One of the shows was in Arizona(They won!), and they stayed at a place called the Tahiti Inn. Here are the pages with the Best Western Tahiti Inn stuff:

And another page had this ad for a Tiki salon in Poway:
