She'd have every right to divorce me, basically. emski.

I knew you were going to rake in the bux when I saw 'danlovestikis' enter the fray (and he didn't even win!) Good to get some extra spending money for the holidays, eh?
M ModMana Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Sep 05, 2002 Posts: 263	M ModMana Posted posted on Tue, Dec 9, 2003 1:56 AM Well, I believed that mug would be popular and sell high but I was totally dumbfounded to see the final bid price. That was my first venture into selling on eBay (along with a couple other items that also did well) and yea, I'm pretty happy with the results :) By the way, the winner was not a tiki collector, but a Frankoma collector. Obviously, they are passionate about their obsessions, just like us. ModMana :drink: [ Edited by: modmana on 2003-12-09 18:50 ]

The style ("extreme tiki") has been so overdone lately. How many tiki carvers and mug designers in the past 10 years have used the same face? But if I found one on sale I would buy it just to sell it! Congrats Modmana!

K Kenike Tiki Socialite McKinney, TX Joined: Jul 24, 2003 Posts: 1207	K Kenike Posted posted on Tue, Dec 9, 2003 5:25 PM ...and then today I was in an antique mall and someone was selling a Leilani mug for $36.00! The sign next to it said it was only used on a flight from Dallas to Hawaii. That makes it worth $36.00?? The guy who owned the booth wasn't there for me to ask about it. :drink:

I couldn't even get that for my Shag mugs! Not that they are for sale...and the beauty of those is that I actually stumbled upon them for sale at their retail cost of $36.00 when they were released at a retailer!! Lucky me!

Umm, sorry... DAGA doesn't make Frankoma mugs! Similar mugs? Maybe. But definitely NOT the T3S War God...

I drove it cross country 3 times & sold it in LA for more that I paid for it.
A Atomicchick Tiki Socialite Southern California Joined: Sep 08, 2003 Posts: 590	A Atomicchick Posted posted on Tue, Dec 23, 2003 9:28 PM Just wondering if Munktiki or Tiki Farm is considering doing a reproduction of this mug? That would be super duper if they were....$500+ for an original or $18 for a repro...hummm, it's a difficult choice but I would have to go with the repro.
