Just a few Tiki Leilanis and some chipped Harvey's Mai-Tai buckets. Absolutely nothing to see, don't even bother. Nope. Trader Pup's Rare Mug Blowout! (Okay, that should do it. Now no one will look and I will win these most-coveted gems. Bwa ha ha ha...ha. Snicker) Oh no! They can read my thoughts! Eeek. Must think of something else..blah blah blah, puppies, blah blah, pie!* apologies to "Kids in the Hall". All mugs are fair game: I guarantee there will be no "auction ended early" arrangements made, so don't even attempt to ask! * Oh, you'll get attempts. I can pretty much guarantee that. Good luck Pup, those be some most righteous items. I will bid more for some of these than I have ever paid for a mug, by far. And I will not win a one. midnite

T tikifish Member Toronto,Canada Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2720	T tikifish Posted posted on Sat, Sep 4, 2004 6:56 PM Is that a record? What is the most that has ever been paid for a tiki mug?
DZ Doctor Z Tiki Socialite Jasper's Reef, Torrance, CA Joined: Aug 01, 2002 Posts: 1620	DZ Doctor Z Posted posted on Sat, Sep 4, 2004 7:10 PM I sold a pair of mugs (well, glasses actually: Trader Vic's Port & Starboard lights) for $1300 a few years ago, but that only comes out to a measly $650 each - Pup, you got me beat! Congrats!! :)
M midnite Member 37? 47' N, 122? 26' W Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 1230	M midnite Posted posted on Sat, Sep 4, 2004 10:07 PM $765? Is that all? I'll take two, please. "Is that a record? What is the most that has ever been paid for a tiki mug?" I believe an "Elvis" Tiki Bob hit four figures. That was a while ago. The Kahiki mystery bowl would be the high auction I actually witnessed, but is that technically a mug? This mug beats the Tiki Bob I sold for an unholy amuont last year.

Oh well, do you have any poli-tiki mugs left? I remember you were the only one I have seen selling some. Come to think of it your the only one I have seen selling any... I need the head of Nixon!!
A Atomicchick Tiki Socialite Southern California Joined: Sep 08, 2003 Posts: 590	A Atomicchick Posted posted on Sun, Sep 5, 2004 11:03 AM Sorry Mike, I don't have any left. Yea, I was not planning to spend so much on the Schoontiki, but you know how that goes. You know how some women hide there new shoes from their husbands, I hide my tiki mugs. My collecting is getting out of control. Need to weed out some of my mugs (to make room for the new ones!)

TraderPup, if it hasn't already been packaged up, could you take some more pictures of it? Maybe I can wrap some hi-res photos around a tall collins glass and daydream.

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Mon, Oct 24, 2005 1:05 PM As far as mug design goes, the Zombie Village mug is actually not that ingenious. I wonder if collectors would covet it so much without knowing it's association/source, the seductive menu cover on page 4 of the BOT. Once you have seen that, and then behold the mug, you "see" the whole eye candy scene in your mind, and the mug's minimalistic design suddenly becomes a fine example of stylish understatement. Another example of how much fun it is to connect the pieces of the puzzle.

Formikahini dear, that's your mortgage?!? Crap, mine's higher than a %$#*!! severed head mug. That does it. I'm moving to Texas. Not only will my mortgage be lower, I'll also be far more likely to find a severed head mug! :lol:
F Formikahini Tiki Socialite Houston, Texotica Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 1514	F Formikahini Posted posted on Fri, Oct 28, 2005 12:38 PM Well, not quite my mortgage! But getting awfully damn close! And I always add on more principal, so it's more like a severed head after all!! And yes, you SHOULD move to Texas! Houston has the #1 cheapest housing among all the major cities in the US. And more restaurants per capita than any as well :wink: (But we ain't got no Tonga Room, nor TV's, nor Conga Lounge, nor ......) "Zazz captivates felt." [ Edited by: Formikahini 2005-10-28 12:51 ]
