Also being in the UK you have a better chance of picking up the rare Arte4 Spanish Tiki mugs that the US collector rarely gets a sniff at. It is the quality of finds that make UK Tiki mug hunting worth the effort. Sure a US collector might find an arm load of Dynasty Wholesale Moai mugs but see finding a Don the Beachcomber short neck for 50p at a carbbot sale now that's a find you can brag about for years.
