Okay... In response to all the too-late requests, yes, I do still have some mugs left, but I have *GOT* to come up for air. Let me splain... The mugs were originally intended to be gifts for my customers only, to thank them for keeping Pony Espresso afloat for 20 years. But due to demand, I agreed to put some on eBay. That was a good news/bad news situation (mostly bad news). The good news was that they were extremely popular! The bad news was that eBays estimated shipping price of $6.50 was a JOKE. I ended up paying anywhere from $8.80 to $12.00 to ship each one of those wretched little chamber pots, and the cardboard boxes and bubble wrap added another couple of bucks to each. So at the end of the day, I lost a kings ransom... but I DID HAVE FUN, and it was a great promotion for the Javamobile. So to those of you who messaged me today asking if you can still have a mug, the short answer is yes, but under two conditions: 1) I need a BREAK. Ive been seeing mugs in my dreams, and Im gonna crack up if I have to ship another one anytime soon. So give me some time for my eyes to uncross. 2) Rather than going through eBay, Ill ship them out and you can just send me a check -- but I CANT sell them for the price I sold the last run, because I went right into the porcelain fixture with them. So bottom line, yes, but not now, and a few bucks more than the previous batch. Give me a few weeks/months to wind down, okay? I have to catch my breath and refocus on my business again. Believe it or not, I sell coffee for a living. Not mugs.
