You don't have to give away your secrets for ferreting out deals, just what you got and how much it cost...:) Aloha, -CMC

Sure some folks might say thats a buck to much. But here in Rose bowl flea market land it'd be $10.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3267290425 I'm happy with it.

It came to just under 20 bucks with shipping. I already have a similar one from the Islander and thought they would make a good set...As you can see from the pics this is a Hawaiian Village "Hawaii in Tampa" Kali mug (at least I think that is what it is called). -Aloha

I scored one a while back from Skipper Kent's. I was amazed when she arrived, all of the red cold-paint is intact. It's a beautiful mug. I think I got it for somewhere under $20 which I thought was pretty good considering the condition. Aloha, :tiki:

The Ebay description "DECANTER." Text body was something like "Bhudda looking decanter. If you know what this is, please email me." He has a hole drilled into his belly. Maybe they were trying to turn him into the Orchids Bhudda? But even with that, I think $15 was a steal.

But here's the best cost-to-love ratio item at $1.99:

S SES Member Joined: Sep 14, 2003 Posts: 992	S SES Posted posted on Fri, Jan 23, 2004 5:24 AM yesterday I won an auction of 70 LPs for $2.25 shipping is $25 though! Among the albums are: Martin Denny - A Taste of Honey Arthur Lyman Mancini Jackie Gleason Laurindo Almeida Movie, Broadway and TV themes Jazz and much more! SCORE! Did not state the quality but I figured it was worth the chance since the seller was not into selling records it was not an intentional sneaky/hide factor as the normal dealers try. The photos looked like the albums were well taken care of. Have lucked out in the past trusting my instinct on this before!

But, I do have to say that it is pretty stressful when you know that you have found something special and you have to wait for the auction to end.
