You gotta hit the weekend fleas and thrifts. Back in the mid 90's I used to absolutely CLEAN HOUSE there. My girlfriend at the time's parents lived there and everytime we would visit, I'd come home with about 8 Ponchartrain Tiki Bob's and countless "Huki Lua" moai mugs.. plus lots of oddball stuff too. I think alot of those mugs had literally been sitting on the shelves in these dusty indoor fleamarkets for YEARS until I came along and grabbed them all in one fell swoop.. it was like shooting fish in a barrel.. one of the most exciting tiki find experiences I've had. The last time I hit these fleas, there wasnt as much, but its still out there, and its been years since ive hit them.. I remember that I was able to spend about 2 solid days just driving and searching thrifts, fleas, antique shops, etc
