It's great to have a mug that maybe no one else has, huh. Would you do me the honor of adding it to the tiki gallery on my website sometime?

Wow, I just peeped the tiki mug database you're working on & it looks really great so far! I must say, that eary trader vic kava bowl is nothing short of amazing! Something new to wish for.. I would love to post a few pics also. I'll try to get some good shots up soon!
T TikiHula Member SacTown Joined: Apr 09, 2002 Posts: 757	T TikiHula Posted posted on Wed, Jul 24, 2002 10:15 PM No way, you should be complimented on finding that mug- I get excited when I see a mug that I've never seen before!! I want to make the gallery a group effort- just like this board is- so everyone PLEASE feel free to add anything, anytime to the gallery!!! The pics don't have to be perfect, and the items don't have to be rare....mahalo!!!!! mahalo and 135 to you all!

Going to sell more of my dupes and extra Tiki mugs soon. Send me an email if you would like an early bird shot at the stuff. Tiki Centralites will have first crack at my things at their "buy now" and reserve prices BEFORE I list them on ebay. Have about a dozen mugs or so: Hawaii Kai, Muntiki Goateeki, Aku Tiki (seen in BOT), Barzizza, Mauna Loa, Luau Hut...and many more! Send me a note and let me know you'd like to peruse the goods. Will be sending out an email next week...if Hal 9000 does not act up! Michelle [email protected]

A VERY NICE shelf for the tiki mugs. Doesn't hold very many, but the craftsmanship on this one is just awesome, IMHO. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2131089639
SH Suburban Hipster Member Rockville, Maryland Joined: Aug 12, 2002 Posts: 272	SH Suburban Hipster Posted posted on Wed, Aug 14, 2002 7:56 AM Help. I got interested in tikiology from Sven's Book of Tiki, and have since bought new mugs from Tiki Farm, Munktiki, and Bosko, but now I want to learn more about tiki mug manufacturers of yore. Can anyone recommend a good book, website, or other resource?

SH Suburban Hipster Member Rockville, Maryland Joined: Aug 12, 2002 Posts: 272	SH Suburban Hipster Posted posted on Wed, Aug 14, 2002 3:12 PM Unless the seller told you that you that the reserve is more than $75, you won't know until another buyer bids enough to push the current price beyond $75. If you're eager to know sooner rather than later, I'd be willing to bid against you. [ Edited by: Suburban Hipster on 2002-08-14 15:20 ]

T tikimug Member 1217 mi. North of the Mai Kai Joined: Apr 01, 2002 Posts: 752	T tikimug Posted posted on Wed, Aug 14, 2002 8:08 PM I thought if you bid over the reserve it would just go to what ever the reserve price was... no?
SH Suburban Hipster Member Rockville, Maryland Joined: Aug 12, 2002 Posts: 272	SH Suburban Hipster Posted posted on Wed, Aug 14, 2002 8:12 PM Sorry, I guess that's right. I buy and sell on ebay a good bit, but I generally avoid the reserve price auctions. Here's the skinny from ebay: In a Reserve Price Auction, the seller has a hidden reserve price that the bidding must exceed before the seller is required to sell the item. When a bidder's maximum bid is equal to or greater than the reserve price, the item's current price is raised to the reserve price amount.

There, I feel better. I did score a nice Tonga Room split coconut mug. Something I have been trying to get ever since I saw Tiki Hula's. A good price until one factors in the cab rides. There are some decent stores for Tiki stuff in Vegas. Of course, it is all stuff from bars NOT in Vegas. There is a wave of "Hawaiiana" taking over many of the stores in the reatrail malls attached to the bigger Strip resorts. I even found Trader Pang's Maoi mugs at a Hilo Hattie at the Aladdin. Vintage mugs going for $3.99 while they sell new low quality stuff for dolars more. midnite

I didn't know bass vibrations from my stereo would cause just this one to 'walk' its way off the shelf and into a free-fall dive to the floor... split in half right where the two halves came together... (sigh) The bottom half just exploded into a ridiculous number of pieces... I managed to salvage the top half (with the OMC label intact) at least, but, well, obviously, it's just not the same... ALL of my mugs are held down with "quake-clay" now: a lesson learned the hard way...

What is not taken will be on ebay next weekend. Mugs include pieces from, among others: Hawaii Kai, Luau 400, Mauna Loa, Munktiki Goateeki, Luau Hut, Islander Stockton, Aku Tiki Omaha, Barzizza, and an especially cool "Freaky alien" Tiki dude that looks like stuff Guanko & Bumatay carved. This stuff is so good, make you wanna go home and slap your Mother! midnite...unabashed promoter

The little cannibal-ish beast shown on pg. 138 of BOT. It's not quite a Sufferin' Bastard decanter from TV's, but the next best "Mai Kai" thing. Have always wondered why they did not use that design for a "signature" mug. So many lesser Tiki palaces had their own mugs/logos. Ex-cellll-ennnnt! midnite

Holy deep pockets, Batman!!! So what's market for this item?

They are friends. Wendy and Dan would probably fight Mike and Suz to the Death on a Tiki mug. They are both excellent customers of mine. I hope they continue to kick our ass when we try to pick up a mug here and their. I see nothing wrong with paying a lot of cash for something you want. I would do it if I had a lot of cash.

I waited 5 days for the damn thing and some person bids on it in the last hours and I think "OH SHIT you cant have nothing, so I sniped it by placing a $30 snipe on it.

It was made by Otagiri for Hawaii Kai, but eventually had a "Hawaiian Inn" label placed on it. Perhaps Hawaiian Inn bought up some deadstock from Hawaii Kai, or the purloined mugs are sometimes taken for use in other locales? Ha ha, just kidding. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=717854309 Nonetheless, I do have a skull mug very similar to this style. It is matte white, and has a shallow imprint "made for trader vic". The seller says he got the mug at Kelbo's way back in the 60's at a college fraternity event. I sorta believed him, now I have a bit more reason to. Them mugs gets around I guess.

There are two of them, one of them is like around 57th st or so and the other is in the Village. They are spooky theme restaurants but I think they are the best ones! These actors walk around dressed up as monsters and make fun of people and they have these shows that go on every now and then. One of the best parts, you have to find the bathroom, it's hidden in a bookcase!
