I think we should start a list of the # 1 mug everybody would like to have. That way, if I know so and so wants a certain mug and I happen to see it, I can pick it up for them, and we all can do the same (I guess this would only apply to vintage mugs). Or start trading for your favorite mug.
For me, still no luck, so I have expanded my list a little, here it goes...first mug I'm looking for was made by Into The Volcano that is on the inside cover of Tiki News Magazine # 17, the mug that looks cracked with the tongue sticking out. The second mug I'm looking for is Munktiki's Digs. The third mug I'm looking for was made by Tiki Bob's and other restaurants. It is mug with the green eyes and his tongue sticking out.
I have lots of mugs to trade for these mugs or will even purchase. If you have these mugs to trade, send me a pm with what you would like in trade or a $.
Thanks!

Oh, I don't ask for much...just that Stephen Crane Tiki bowl, the one with the Luau Tikis supporting the bowl decorated with those midcentury modern leaf patterns. A cinch.

The SHAG mug that's in his night of the tiki painting "The Incredible Bartender", to match my print.
Not dying without it though.

I was debating about posting. But what the hell:
My grail is the Mauna Loa Drum mug
followed by the Chin Tiki mug and finally the other Mauna Loa mugs. Are you sensing a Detroit theme here?
should anyone have one to spare, feel free to email me with proposed donations or blue light specials.

(seriously, aside from a generous saint or 2, why would the average person give up a rare mug cheaply when they could put it on Ebay and pay a full month worth of gas... call me jaded, but have you seen the prices at the pumps lately?)

So many mugs.... Right now I would like to find a Trader Vics Starboard Light mug. The green glass one please, not the ceramic one. I have an extra Port Light mug that I am willing to trade for it, or I am happy to pay a reasonable sum if that is preferred.

Mine is the TJMaxx suffering bastard with oil infused red beans in it.
Not really... as I said on another topic-I want the Reagan Politiki mug most.

I have an idea. Why don't we create a thread or forum for people to trade mugs? No selling, only trading. People can post whatever they have to trade, what they're looking for, etc. It could be a thread in Tiki MarketPlace, or it could be it's own forum. Who knows, someone might be willing to trade an extra mauna loa drum mug or something equally as rare, for 3 or 4 other limited edition mugs, or prints, or whatever. But you could also trade some of your regular less exclusive mugs that you have extra of, or are tired of, for something different.
You can call the thread "Tiki Trading", or something similar. I'm not going to be crushed if this doesn't happen, but it seems like there is enough interest for it to work - most people that I know pick up an extra limited edition mug when available to use to trade for other mugs, rather than selling on ebay, which I think kind of fits the Aloha Spirit better. What does everyone think of this idea? Hanford? Martin? Mig?

It took me awhile to decide what my ultimate mug would be, because I basically have nothing (most of my mugs are newer ones from the Mai Kai). I *love* the Coco Joe's Volcano mug from Tiki Quest page #22.
