Hi everyone. I'm a recent frequent browser, and new member. I've been into tiki for about eight years, with my interest growing in the past year. I've built a tiki-themed deck in my backyard complete with a hand-made replica surfboard. I've also been collecting tiki mugs for about five years. Living in southern Ontario, Canada, it can be difficult to get my hands on tiki mugs. I very rarely find them in store, and buying them online usually involves shipping from the US, which can get costly when I browse eBay or online stores such as Tikifarm. A few years back I bought a Miehana mug from Tiki Farm. The mug is a little top-heavy, and I emailed TikiFarm asking if this was by design or if I had a flawed mug. They mailed me a second one, which is equally tippy, but looks great. I've learned the design of the mug itself causes it to feel a little unstable. Long story short, I recently learned via Instagram that the mug has some resale value. Since I have two, I've put one up on ebay. The shipping price on the listing is now about as low as I can afford to go to ship from Canada to the US. If he sells, I've got my eye on a nice mug from a craftsman in Maui I follow on Instagram. This is a really nice mug, and I've learned it is fairly desirable by collectors. I thought I'd post on here to increase visibility, as I'm not sure if too many tiki mug collectors browse eBay's Canadian listings. If you are interested, please check out my auction. The auction ends on October 8th at 7:40 pm. Thanks folks. |
