Chicagoish, Sandra Dee gave you good scoop. I think you just need to keep plugging away. Sometimes even hitting the wrong button/link brings up some delightful surprises. There are some very knowledgeable and helpful folks here on T C. There is so much to learn here and if your interest in tiki pop culture is genuine you are in for some real enjoyment.
In regard to the "prices" on Ooga-Mooga, the prices shown are "sightings"-what the seller wants,not necessarily what he'll get for an item. For example, the sightings for the Ku mug from the Las Vegas Aku Aku (now defunct) vary from 66 bucks (ebay) to 16 dollars at an antique store. I treasure anything from the Aku Aku but I won't pay 66 dollars on ebay and probably wouldn't fork over the 16 smackeroo's at the antique store. Sometimes patience pays off cuz I recently snagged one at a thrift store for under 5 bucks which some folks might think is too much. That's my two cents worth-welcome to you, I hope you stick around-this site is amazing.
Cheers
