Tall Kowloon Mug - anyone ever see one of these?

Pages: 1 1 replies

Damnit! I've was keeping an eye on this auction and suddenly the listing is ended! I've never seen this taller version...

Yeah, I've seen that one. The Kowloon mug is one of my favorite designs– regardless that Sven disagrees with me and says that it looks like a potato bug. I had a friend who had both versions. They are both rare, but the tall version is rarer than hen's teeth.

If the auction ended abruptly, most likely they received a sweet offer from an unscrupulous collector to sell it off ebay. I know of fanatical collectors who think nothing of offering sellers a lot of money to end their auction and sell the mug to them directly. I think that those kind of tactics (besides of being against ebay rules) are really slimy and unethical that the "Tiki karma" will catch up to them ( I hope).
