I don't think it's polite to call someone a sucker; it smacks a bit of jealousy. Something is always worth what someone else is willing to pay. If these items are truly overpriced, they won't sell, and then the price will likely come down. If they do sell, then it means that the price is apparently fair to someone.

These items aren't worth that to me, but I never went to the Bahooka. :wink:

Jealousy? there is no correlation, I can say without a doubt that I am not jealous of someone I consider
to be lacking in common sense & deserving of the moniker "sucker"
And yes one is born every minute, also everyone has a right to be a sucker if they choose.

As for assigning value to Fez Moai's items for sale, if he had Tikis, mugs & items of that sort, yes they would have value to collectors
but everything that is for sale only has "Sentimental Value" so if you need a piece of the Bahooka to remember it by
and are willing to pay the asking price, go to town, but don't kid yourself, the item has no real intrinsic value
something I believe Fez Moai is hoping to capitalize on, not that he doesn't have the right to do so
but I will be the one pointing at whom ever buys it & exclaiming "sucker"

I got the feeling you didn't like me when I joined up here. It's funny in a sad, nothing-better-to-do kind of way. Only "Sentimental Value"? These aren't physical items? I have nothing but good, positive responses from folks here. How is it possible to have someone Troll me like this? Have a Mai Tai and a Xanax dude. A big part of all this culture is "sentimental". You are collecting for the monetary value or the sentimental value? What "intrinsic value" does a 60 year-old empty matchbook from a defunct tiki establishment have? Or a picture of Donn Beach with beautiful babes? "Tikis, mugs, or items of the sort". Please elaborate what items of the sort you mean? Only drinkware from these places are worth collecting? You wrote that if I fixed up these items you wouldn't be so "critical", but apparently that's not the case. The items and myself are an issue with you, and that's too bad. Insulting people here by calling them a "sucker" smacks of conceit. Are you feeling Tiki-er than thou? Is that it? You don't know me or how long I've been involved in this. Please, stop embarrassing yourself.
