The Mcf7777 Sell Off and the Shag Munktiki Outre Mug

I know some of the folks on this board know the mysterious MCF7777. Having bid against him and watched his sales, I get the impression he has (or had) one of the largest well funded collections out there.

Does anyone have a sense of hw large this collection was before the sell off? His listings have been a constant source of discovering new and interesting items for me.

AND CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE STORY OF THIS MUG?

The Outre mugs weren't widely announced, I think they got a mention in one of Outre's newsletters. I think the mugs were released to coincide with Shag's show in Australia last summer. I had the luck of preordering 2 last August, when I wanted to get a Woman on Tiki print from them. The print was gone before I could get back to them, but they told me about the mugs and that I could order them if I wanted. Well it's been a few months and I finally got the word that they are on their way. Outre had Munktiki make them. I feel lucky to have gotten a set. They will not be leaving my bar anytime soon. Here is a pic of Martin from Outre and Shag christening the set in Australia.

Wow, that Mai Kai mug/decanter set is coo-elle! Have no idea who this guy is, must have fallen on hard times...

Well I'm sure that with all the page references to the BOT, BigBro, you should be seeing a healthy royalty check.

They were $30 each! What a killing.

I was so excited when I finally got mine, now I don't dare touch them. Not sure if they are sold out, but probably.....

Yep they sure are.

"I get the impression he has (or had) one of the largest well funded collections out there. "

He has been posting some interesting stuff lately, but nothing super wild or rare that I've seen- believe me, there are a few very big collections out there that make his recent postings seem tame- I myself havent really found anything on his seller list that I could use.. i get the feeling that he is doing more of a housecleaning than a liquidation, but who knows.

When I get our tikiroom done and fill all the shelving, I am going to start selling our doubles and extras- there will be some really good stuff in those lots..
