P.S. Good topic, I bet the best collectors won't give up their secret searches.

I once told a guy some tips on finding mugs, and he turned into Sméagol right
after I did this.
Could never find cheap mugs after this as he would buy every mug that was at
a good price and resell them.

No good deed they say.

like someone else said, i think the good stuff never gets sold, or at least sold on ebay. someone looking for tiki will have to search tiki just as someone wanting to sell will almost always use the word tiki in the description. unless there is some kind of seller/buyer code where they use obscure names.

I have a friend who has typed in the name of the Tiki establishments (all closed) and has gotten lots of rare items that were never described as tiki even though they were. Wendy

Yeah, sometimes you find mugs being sold as vases, or all kinds of weird descriptions. If it's marked with a location or has a makers mark, sometimes you can find good deals searching for that ya.
