"It still blows my mind that most new people into tiki are more excited about this or that artist's new mug over vintage stuff. I'm happy for the artists... I personally just kind of don't get it."

I see new year 2000 mugs from a place that sell for like three times what the old mugs that place had from the first day they opened.

When I see what people buy these days it's odd, true old stuff I have had from the Kahiki at times nobody wanted and at times I had some low prices on it.
F%^K it, buy it when I'm dead at the estate sale, I'd rather burn it than sell it to some people for cheap.

Lots of times it seams like a fanboy collector mentality more than a true old tiki collector one.
Fine I'll take the old stuff.

Damn the Disney stuff is out of sight in price.

Bosko, Tiki Diablo and Al do make some cool stuff though.
