Mug prices, hemlines, and Ooga-Mooga - Collecting Tiki

Items...tiki or otherwise...will sell at a price that someone else feels they are worth.period. As a thrift shopper I've bought 10 Tiki Bob mugs in the past for no more than $7 a piece and have resold some of them for as low as $39 to as high as $198...all within the same year. Seems having a price guide is pointless. I do appreciate OM as a place of reference however since sometimes find something and only after checking online do I find out where it came from. And if you want OM improved offer to help...in the great scheme of life having a baby and starting a family is about 1000xs more important to some people than some hobby ever could be.
