"I've quietly cursed O***K many times for kicking my tiki bidding butt"

Har! I know.
Many people used to do the same.

AND I don't mind losing some, but dam to get clubbed every time with that huge wallet
just sucked, so I stopped trying.
Can't imagine the tons of tiki O***K has.
To be blessed with that kind of disposable income and blow it on tiki, going to be one hell of
an auction one day.

Any way it's much more fun to find tiki out in the wild or at an auction or sale nobody
knows about.
Did catch heck for not telling people about some sales, but what you going to do bring in more
bidders?
I did tell people after I got mines.

"We were sort of ruminating on the near impossibility that any of the things in the show could have survived all these years to make it there."

It's the stuff nobody thought to save that can be hard to find, like a bag from the Kahiki.
That and paper items as they do not last well.

Always thought it would be cool to know what the lifetime money a tiki mug could bring.
Like it sells for five bucks at first, then goes up to say $30.00 then all the way up to
say $500.00 only to end up selling for $10.00 dollars right before smashing to bits.

Such is the life of a collector.
