Hey ya Hula,
If it ain't "buy now" on Ebay...we ain't getting it, nope. No sir. We did score a few nice things at the Cow Palace Antique Fair last week. For much less than Ebay prices too. Even told one dealer we know that his prices were a bit low.
A few recent Ebay auction prices:
Islander buy-eyed Moai: $108
Hawaiian Room: buy now, $250

One of my favorite mugs and it definitely got two bidders excited:
Aloha Hut
Hey Uncle Arty, you sure you want to keep both of yours?
Just a couple of days left in our 'buy now' spectacular. Southern California Tikis are welcome, just keep the hoity toity down to minimum.

Even a blind Tiki-hunting squirrel finds an acorn on Ebay once in a while:
AKU AKU Mug $15
Less than a day to go in the Midnite 'Buy Now' spectacular. We like to sell to TC members, they pay!

This is not a typo:
Trader Vic Skull Mug $130
Maybe that $300 Tiki pole from TV's(?) is not a bad deal after all...

Nice price for a matchbook, these sure are popular:
Trader Vic's MB
Now, if I could only get that typoe of bid-mania directed toward our auctions. Mr T is upset, we promised him a nice donation for the teen center.

I thought the prices bid for Tiki stuff on Ebay have been falling. Then:
$65 Hawaii Kai S/P Set
Still, things seem to have leveled off, and even fallen. Buck that trend, blow some discretionary income with Uncle midnite's auctions!

And even if it is "buy it now", Midnite has just beaten us to the punch. Ah, that Brazilian pair....in the cross-hairs....ready to pull the trigger.......shot flies off.....and who is the winner?
Oh, well. Us tightwads who are slow on the draw will just have to content ourselves with
Butlins Beachcomber postcards and crudely carved Maori tat.

Ah, that Brazilian pair
Hey, here's your chance:
Brasil Tiki Mug
Shipping to parts international is NO problem if the bidder is a TC member. Let's go Brits, represent! Midnite mugs have gone to Switzerland, twice.
I got a Butlin's Beachcomber plate/ashtray, but still no mug.

Cheers Tikifish - you should have received a private message a few hours back - many thanks for the heads-up on this one (which I've bid on)

Hmmmm.. still tempted....looks quite Spanish...which figures (kinda). I'm actually pretty keen on the old Massachusetts stuff, having spent my formative years out there. Your Bostonian mug intrigues, but I really want one from that old place in Norwood, Mass. Don't suppose they make their way out West too often, eh?

I see mugs selling on Ebay for less and less. I think the mania is slowing, prices back to "reasonable" levels. Then, somehting like this comes along to get that milk flowing back through the nostrils:
$75 Leilani Moai
Feel the love,

I found a Tiki Bob's mug yesterday at an antique shop, with a pair of matching Tiki Bob's salt and pepper shakers. Lots of crazing, faces slightly darkened, but no cracks or chips. I paid $16.20 for the set of three pieces (plus tax).
These are the kind with "Tiki Bob's San Francisco" in a raised yellow lei.
A big boost to my very sparse collection!
