While a Tiki-rich place like SF attracts too many hipsters and the high prices to go with it, Trader Woody TWoody, You are spot on! Glad someone else recognizes my dilemna here. It's not a Tiki collector paradise at all. High prices for any mugs/etc, to go along with high prices for just about everything else. Sellers at the few "antique fairs" I visit are too knowledgeable, the consignment shops...same thing. No motorcar, so my coverage is limited geographically...or I rent a car and have to add $40 to the price of any mugs I would find. If I find. No more hipsters in SF, we have enough! midnite :)
