Aloha Hut mug on ebay - Collecting Tiki

I've found that if someone were to rely solely on the gargage sale method to find their items (Doctor Z and Sabu excluded), especially in areas not likely to contain tiki mugs, the collection would fit on a TV tray. Ebay will be typically more expensive to make a tiki mug purchase on, however, that amount would be lessened if you factor in actual sourcing costs such as gas etc, and intangible costs such as your time and being able to even find the piece in the first place. That stated, this mug went for WAY more than it's worth in my book. My wife bought the same mug on ebay for a fraction of what the final bid was.
