Rather than turning to traditional sources of start-up revenue, Monkey Outta Nowhere is turning to the auction site eBay. Outrageous IPOs are a thing of the past, and true Internet giants are raising cash the old fashioned way -- selling their junk.
By liquidating assets, Monkey Outta Nowhere hopes to purchase the proverbial typewriter and begin cranking out work Shakespeare could admire. The sell-offs have included lemonade, cola, and lip balm, as well as a basement full of another man's treasure.
Total eBay earnings have topped a reported $500 to date.

Tradition also says the Monkey will "urge us to gamble, speculate and embark on risky but ingenious ventures." It's interesting to note that the American Revolution began in 1776, the year of the Fire Monkey.
