"What's so bad about that?"
I have many new and old Trader Vic's glasses and the Mai tai glass is the one I use most when serving drinks.
So I too have bought these.
plus that is a good price.

The bad part is when the "stuff" (for the Kahiki it was egg rolls) takes over and the restaurants and bars are then closed and only the stuff is made.
(For The Berghoff it is beer)
But you can no longer go and get a beer at the number 1 liquor License holder in Chicago.
Come on, that's bad right?

"And I seriously doubt the bars give any concern to what their old collectibles sell for these days when pricing their newly made pieces."

One Three Dots mug went from $40.00 bucks to $80.00 when they saw that they were selling on eBay for lots o cash.
So in that case demand did raise the price.

I don't begrudge any business profit, and they have a right to mow the places we love to the ground.

But we also have the right to say wow that sucks.
