Each of the Coconut Monkeys is a unique piece, a true work of art, so no matter how many you own you do not have multiples. To be a collector and an art lover it is difficult for me to get my head around how people can call "greed" on this subject.

I loved some of CMs I've seen and liked others, I've been able to purchase a couple of the ones I love and I've also bought a couple I really liked. I've bought a couple from the last three offerings, I could have bought more but it would have been ones I just liked, so I passed on them, my hope being they would go to people that liked those ones just a bit more than I did.

I understand it is greedy to buy up multiple of the same item only to deprive others of it and probably profiting from it later. I honestly don't feel I've deprived anyone, not anymore than I feel deprived of not getting some of the CM's I loved but missed. Can anyone say that they would not purchase everyone of these CM's that they liked if the pieces and the $$$ were available to them?

I also would like thank Paul for creating these mugs. In my opinion they are the
BEST MUNKTIKI MUGS TO DATE! I'm giving them to my wife for her birthday and I'm
99% sure I will go deaf from the screaming and lose my balance from the house shaking!
