That's unfortunate, I'd have paid about $250 for that set. Paul |

I too lurked on this forum for about a year before daring to post (even though I LOVE tiki), because there was so much elitism, and snark-iness towards new members. |

I've not posted in years for this very reason. I just lurk around now. |

Nope. Haven't sold it. Had to come back to work today so I got a chance to check this. :) Still debating what to do with it. So if I do put it on ebay you all just want to be notified and have me post it here? I don't want to ruffle anyone's grass skirt by doing it wrong. |

That would be fine and please include the link. I think the people who can't use the search feature here also struggle with the search feature on ebay. :lol: |

Starting bid: $199.00 I found a listing for one at $20 (Sold over 30 days ago, No longer active) What was wrong with blacklagoon's offer? [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2012-08-02 14:39 ] |

Nothing wrong with the offer. I'm just more familiar with going through ebay for payment and shipping. I haven't sold anything in a couple years but listed this and some other things from deceased dad's basement. I searched everywhere for a similar item and could not find one. Please share the link to what you found. I priced it at what I thought it might be worth. I looked at Trader Vic's plates selling for 75.00 each and a martini glass that just sold for 220.00. The price is still lower than Blacklagoon offered so it is possible he can get it cheaper than his offer. |

To be fair the last one I saw on ebay was not $20, I'd like to see if it were as mint as this one. The last one I saw for sale sold for over $300 mint in box. This wil go well with my Rare Trader Vic's mugs and will post a pic when I get them assembled together. Thank you for selling this piece at all, I would have held on to it. Paul |

Yep, by not taking your original offer, she left $70 sitting on the table. |

I'm just amazed that this thread went up to five pages - the story of a collectors community in a nutshell :) |

Congratulations Blacklagoon! I'll be shipping it out today. Glad you won it. As I said before ebay is easier for me to use than doing a private sale. I sell things sometimes as a little side hobby. I'm not looking to make huge profits and I haven't done it in a while. Sometimes I just like to admire them for a while and then it's time to clear them out. This is something I don't collect and had no idea of the value. Thank you to those who were helpful. Someday when (if) I ever retire, I'll probably the old lady selling lawn gnomes at the flea market but right now I just dabble. Anyone interested in a 100 year old grocery cart? :) |
