Hey all - this was brought to my attention by a fellow user. This auction is using my pic from Ooga Mooga fro their auction:

Please be wary of it as they have a 2 feedback rating and this is the only Tiki item they have for sale. I highly doubt they would have this semi-Rare Muntiki classic!

So I asked the guy if the picture he had was of the actual mug he had in his posession and this was his response:

"I used a photo of someone else's and didn't know I'm not supposed to do that--I'm a novice lister. There were 100 of these mugs made and you can see what it looks like at http://www.munktiki.com and clicking on Ltd. Edition. Each of the 100 looks exactly the same."

He changed the photo to another generic photo, so I asked him to post photos of "his" actual mug. We'll see what he does.

His listing also states he's not offering insurance....

Hey all - I heard back from the lister and I think h is on the up and up but i am still not endorsing the auction here. He stated he didn't have a camera and used what he thought was generic picture of the mug (although not a very good one).

He apologized and said he removed the pic.

If your interested in the mug - ask him if it has the COA and what number it is. Neither of those pieces of info is in th listing!

Thanks again to itchytikitavi for pointing this out.

I emailed this person and this is what they had to say.....

My question....
Dear jjbmedia,

Hello...What # is your mug? Thanks

His response....
It's #23

Then he emailed back later and left this message....

HI: I am really sorry for all the confusion. I finally managed to post my own pics of Chongo #23 on EBay.
Best,
John

These are actual quotes from the emails just copied and pasted here....he still has a generic pic of the mug on his listing, but in the email to me he claims they are his own pics.....I would still be a little wary of purchasing from this guy....
Just my thoughts.....Thanks

The ebay listing now has this message:
"The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing."

He must have found out we were on to him.....

He has relisted the mug. Funny thing is, the picture of the bottom of the mug is actually the bottom of the Sir Squigley Mug that he has listed! Oh, and I guess he's feeling generous because he dropped the opening bid price to $99.99! He even included an apology to those of us who saw his previous listing. Isn't that sweet. He has several other Munktiki mugs listed now.
