A Atomicchick Tiki Socialite Southern California Joined: Sep 08, 2003 Posts: 590	A Atomicchick Posted posted on Thu, Dec 6, 2007 6:03 PM Some information would be great. I was able to pick up a couple of the vases and a decanter, but I'm totally diggin' the plates. Haven't seen those too much. Is there some place else other than ebay we can get these items?
M MauiTiki Member A rock in the middle of the Ocean Joined: Jan 20, 2003 Posts: 716	M MauiTiki Posted posted on Sat, Dec 8, 2007 10:40 AM I asked Holden about them. He said a friend was manufacturing a limited quantity for Japan sales only. I was able to buy a set of the Tall Mugs, through e-bay. I expected a few to come through ebay, but it appears that they will be available on ebay for a while. Where did that photo come from??

S stuckieshaft Member Joined: Mar 24, 2002 Posts: 177	S stuckieshaft Posted posted on Sat, Dec 8, 2007 8:56 PM Heres an option.......... Yahoo japan auctions. just type in shag, quite a few of the items pop up and cheap. However... its all in Japanese and most all sellers on YJA dont ship internationaly. So why do I post this info you ask? http://www.celga.com Celga places your bids and ships the stuff to you... for a fee of course. In the end you will probably be paying about the same price as on ebay but last I checked at least there was a steady amount up. -m

A Atomicchick Tiki Socialite Southern California Joined: Sep 08, 2003 Posts: 590	A Atomicchick Posted posted on Sat, Dec 8, 2007 11:21 PM From a Japan auction that had the original selling prices listed, these are the actual prices: Vase: $ 43 Spice Bottle $ 11 Incense Tray $ 15 Tumbler $ 23 Decanter $ 31 Mug $ 17 Wow, I bought three of these items on ebay, I feel so dirty now.
M MauiTiki Member A rock in the middle of the Ocean Joined: Jan 20, 2003 Posts: 716	M MauiTiki Posted posted on Sat, Dec 8, 2007 11:39 PM Thanks for the info Stuckie. Have you used CELGA before? Check these out... These images fit together (sort of). The small three are for spices, then there are two more sizes. Normal size Mugs and then really large ones. Crazy. And the plates too! Wow!
M MauiTiki Member A rock in the middle of the Ocean Joined: Jan 20, 2003 Posts: 716	M MauiTiki Posted posted on Sat, Dec 8, 2007 11:53 PM I guess the Tall ones are Vases. Here is the price list... 103 yen = $1 Amazing what you can find on the internet if you Try. Now if I only had friends in Japan. -Rob
S stuckieshaft Member Joined: Mar 24, 2002 Posts: 177	S stuckieshaft Posted posted on Sun, Dec 9, 2007 7:22 AM I collect japanese vinyl toys and I post a bit on a japanese toy forum. Everyone there uses celga. Its defintitely a major operation, I would not fear using it. I think those plates are actually incense holders. yen is at 103 to a dollar? I have a module on my computer which tells me daily the yen rate, which shows it at 111 to $1. But it could be that organizations only update their conversion every so often. Basically for yen prices just move a decimal point over 2 spots and thats about what the price is in $. -m

I just think they made a ton of this stuff, I like them but I'm not willing to pay 3 times more than issue when I can but those dollars into LTD pieces. It looks like the e-bay prices might be dropping a little? Or is it just me.. lol

TK Tiki Kaimuki Grand Member (4 years) OAKLAND, baby Joined: Sep 25, 2006 Posts: 835	TK Tiki Kaimuki Posted posted on Tue, Dec 11, 2007 12:15 PM Yeah, if it all came out a year ago, why is it all hitting ebay now? I'm just wondering if we might soon discover a direct source...hopehope. The ebay mark up is a bit much for me.
M MauiTiki Member A rock in the middle of the Ocean Joined: Jan 20, 2003 Posts: 716	M MauiTiki Posted posted on Sat, Dec 15, 2007 8:17 PM There are several Japanese websites selling this stuff at the regular prices. If you can read Japanese and Type in kanji (sp?), you may be able to ask them if they will ship to the US. I found several sites, but this is the only one I remember... http://www.swingers1950.com do a search for Shag and the stuff will come up. I have a Japanese friend who has emailed to see if they will ship to the US but we've gotten no reply. BlackFish, did you hear it was an open run? many of the auctions say limited edition or sold out. I'll have to dig up my email from Holden to confirm what he said.

Photo Caption from the Seattle Times: Josh Agle, better known as Shag, has a laugh in front of his paintings "Ekahi," left, "Ekolu," center, and "Elua" (acrylic on panel) at the opening of "Tiki Art Now! 3" at Roq La Rue in Seattle. The Southern California-based illustrator and designer's works are a blend of cocktail and tiki culture.

M MauiTiki Member A rock in the middle of the Ocean Joined: Jan 20, 2003 Posts: 716	M MauiTiki Posted posted on Wed, Jan 9, 2008 10:44 AM I placed my order! They were only selling two of the three vases. I was hoping to get all 3. The decanters and vases have sold out, but they still have some mugs available.
C caffeinated Member yesterday Joined: Sep 26, 2005 Posts: 86	C caffeinated Posted posted on Wed, Jan 9, 2008 12:25 PM Man, those are going or have gone pretty fast. I wonder how many pieces they had. Their e-mail said there were only 12 full sets. I got an order in on a selection of different pieces at least.
TK Tiki Kaimuki Grand Member (4 years) OAKLAND, baby Joined: Sep 25, 2006 Posts: 835	TK Tiki Kaimuki Posted posted on Wed, Jan 9, 2008 12:29 PM I placed my pieced out order in about 5 minutes. I checked on availability of sets after I was finished and they were all gone. It wouldn't surprise me to see much of this hitting ebay in the next couple weeks. The one vase that I wanted was the one they didn't offer. Oh well, I still got pretty "lucky"(see broke).
T Tiki-Kate Member Yucaipa, CA Joined: Sep 21, 2003 Posts: 1700	T Tiki-Kate Posted posted on Wed, Jan 9, 2008 12:40 PM I tried getting a full set. I don't know if the order went through though. They said that they would notify people by e-mail if their order didn't take. Sadly, I can't access my personal e-mail from work. I will most definitely have a coronary if I got everything that I tried to order. Hope I can pay my mortgage next month...

B baboo Member Joined: Jan 10, 2008 Posts: 1	B baboo Posted posted on Thu, Jan 10, 2008 3:22 AM These Shag Japan products just went on sale yesterday at Shagmart.com! I believe they are all sold out... It will give you a good idea of the retail value for those products on ebay. I expect there to be a lot more of these on ebay, now that they have been sold in the US. I was able to purchase a few items prior to them being sold out. Good luck!

Truthfully would have been happy with either though :wink: Tumblers still available, I got mine off ebay for just a little more than shagmart and came in perfect condition bubble wrapped in a boxs from Japan..
