Thanks Nomeus - and back atcha. I don't know why that got so heated, but your video was the perfect diffusing touch.

Glad you got the Ren Clark mug. I stared at that everyday for the entire duration of the sale, but for some reason, I just never submitted a bid. And see, to me, that's a good fair price for that. The seller probably thought there might be a blood bath for it, so he/she may not be as happy, but $175.00 feels right. I have a Ren Clark "Virgin's Lament" and a "Black Woman" - which are among my favorites, only because they are so creatively designed. (It has nothing to do with the fact that they are both topless).

I think you're right about averaging sale prices to determine value. Like a bell curve - throw out the highest and lowest, average the rest and you get a pretty good idea.

Thanks for joining in on this thread (and to everyone who contributed). I started it with those DTB bamboo mugs but my interest is really in exactly the kinds of collecting, buying and selling issues we all encounter and have been talking about here.

Be talking to you more soon I'm sure.
