Personally, I think they're cheap because they are still rather common. It wasn't that long ago that you could walk into any ABC store in Oahu and see shelves full of these. Every other street vendor in International Market Place seemed to sell them too. I bought a duffle bag full (over the course of a week) in Waikiki as recently as 5 years ago from ABC store. These were popular tourist souvenirs and much more abundant than vintage mugs are now.
