Was flipping through BOOK OF TIKI the other day for the first time in awhile the other day and it really struck me how overwhelmingly strong Tiki has re-emerged from the shadows since its publishing.

Aside from the too-many to count new tiki bars that have popped up, its impressive how many NEW tiki mug makers are now out there. Aside from old standbys like Tiki Farm, Munktiki and the gaggle of great Tiki-Revivalist Artists, it seems like if you go on eBay these days, the selection is seemingly endless.

Not being a "FaceBooker"...my Tiki Fix is still satiated by Tiki Central, and though its sad to me how most of the Old Timers have abandoned the site, it still is a great resource IMHO.

To this end, I thought I'd extend a question: What are TC'rs thoughts on the marketplace for Tiki Mugs these days? Seems like the REALLY COOL new ones are $200+ Plus and the really old ones (featured in BOOK OF TIKI) are harder to find...and priced oddly (i.e. strangely cheap in some instances....over-the-top expensive in others). Not a lot of middle ground.

Is this just my perception?

Maybe I need to move to California and get off of eBay! HA!
