So, go to eBay, search for “monkey”, order by highest price first, and what do you end up with?

A handmade monkey pod dresser. It’s about 10′ long, and 4 1/2′ wide. Local pickup (in Hawaii) only. And a steal at $24,500.

Okay, so that’s a little out of my price range. What’s next highest? Ahh, a spider monkey diamond brooch.

It’s made from 18k gold, with 5.6 carats of diamonds and ruby eyes. It won the DeBeers Diamonds Today Award, which just means that it meant something to the crooks and swindlers at DeBeers (As an aside, here at MonkeyADay we hate the scam that is the current diamond industry. Buy eco-friendly diamonds, or skip diamonds altogether!)

Irregardless, it’s going for $12,800! That’s too exensive, too. What’s the cheapest monkey auction on eBay right now?

Oh, a Japanese Carved Netsuke Monkey. Currently going for $0.01. The price is right, that’s for sure!
