Ha! The seller's feedback total - (2) - says a lot. He'll catch on soon!

How'd you come across that, Fartsatune? Do you regularly search for "headhunter"?!

Listing misspellings bery bery good to me.

Oddly enough I have an obsession with head vases!

Mrs. emspace is monkeygirl18, therefore the mugs are mine :). But what's the scoop guys? Are they fakes? Does everyone on TC have a half-dozen each already? That price is about $5 US ya know.

Anyway cheers, this is my housewarming prezzie to myself, one for me and one for my bro:

Those 'headhunter vases' are none other than good ol' Paul Marshall Productions (PMP) Marquesan-style mugs (as seen on BOT pg. 182)! Pretty common - any self-respecting collector should have one or two - but to pick up a pair for $5.00 is a great deal!

There was a time, not all that long ago, when these guys were selling individually for $50+ on eBay! There was even an unscrupulous (read: very misleading ads) seller that was selling them in sets of four for even more ridiculous amounts.

Nice score!

Thanx Doc Z. I "knew" what they were (could have gotten off my lazy butt and gone to the right page in BoT but didn't). What stuns me is that even though there was a thread here for all to read (hey fartsatune, thanks for the heads-up! I owe you a Mai-Tai), I was the only TC'er who bid. Hell, I was the only bidder!

Guess it was meant to be, praise Lono...

cheers,
em.

P.S. I was doing my money math in reverse. It's exactly (at today's rate) $2.42 USD. Yikes!

Great score Emspace...keep those head hunter mugs in Canada!

LOL Emspace I just noticed you hit his reserve with only $2.42 US. First time I've ever seen the start price the reserve!

I was watching the auction but couldn't think of a way to get money to canada, I'm in love with those PMP mugs but one day I'll find one.

You can tape it to the back of a trained budgie and tell it to head west...

Well i had thought of using a St Kilda Mail-Boat and flot the money over to canada, but the currents are all wrong this time of year.

That is strange, isn't it? And this is an experienced seller too...the shipping is gonna outstrip the sale price by a LOT. and the best news of all: because of our recent home purchase, move and associated craziness, Mrs. emspace hasn't had time to pick me up a b-day prezzie (March 28), so she's picking up the tab for mugs and shipping. Sigh...it's all too hard, ain't it?

aloha,
em.
