I have a monkeys puppet cool that was
the fictitious boy BAM tending to be the
Beatles in a sitcom that actually sold
records because people did like the
music all the same right right it's a
puppet right you're supposed to put on
your hand you stick your hand in it and
the heads are Hollow so if you get your
fingers in there and then you could move
around their heads okay it looks kind of
like they're all on a giant sleeping bag
there were good friends actually has
four heads on it with the four
characters from the Monkees and they
bicker back and forth and argue just
like they did in the TV series oh if I
could go on a date with one of the
Monkees it would definitely be Davey
he's dreamy and I just love Davey can I
take a look at it sure so I'm not really
familiar with the Monkees which ones
which
okay this one's Davey Mike we have Peter
and then we have Mickey and they banter
back and forth there's someone at the
door about the rent of the landlord baby
was the dreamer I think the show
actually kind of turned them into a real
band at some point I don't know if you
could be a Beatles fan in a monkey's fan
or the monkeys are blasphemy the Beatles
collectors and I don't know how much of
a monkeys collector's market there is
out there for it what are you looking to
do with it I'd like to sell it
any idea how much I would like to get
around $300 for it okay I've got a
friend who's a curator for the Hard Rock
Hotel goes with your music rockstar
memorabilia I think this would be right
up his alley do you mind if I have him
come down and take a look at it that'd
be great
it looks like it's in great condition
but I'm not sure what Monkees
merchandise goes for so I called Warwick
in to come down and check it out
LaVon keys I've seen these I never heard
one we'll check it out and tell how much
ding
I wanted to just want to hear it talked
mmm clever the monkeys were a pretty big
phenomenon mid 60s a band created for TV
but they learnt to play and they satisfy
their audiences need to see them and
they played some pretty big dates they
sold out the Hollywood Bowl that's
pretty good okay I was just kind of
considered I'm like a parody ban the
producers didn't want to hire real band
they wanted act of singing actors and
then they got the best songwriters Neil
Diamond wrote songs for the Monkees oh
wow so what exactly was the premise of
the show I don't think there was much
premise it was four musicians living in
one house together and monkeying about
the merchandisers went out of their way
to produce a lot of stuff for the kids
that watch the shows but it didn't last
beyond the years of the show so what's
your concerns about this I just don't
have any idea what it could be worth or
how collectible they are it doesn't go
as high as if it was a Beatles if you
had this same thing from the Beatles it
would be thousands of dollars so work
what do you think it's worth I think I
would be happy to paid 275 for it 275
okay I appreciate you coming down man
Thank You Ramona is pleasure sir thank
you right now as an investment
rock and roll memorabilia is going
through the roof so this is probably a
dollar 95 when it came out to survive 40
years and then to be worth almost 300
bucks that's that's good that's good
so you just heard my guy if I were to
buy it
I could reasonably expect a seller for
275 you wanted three what's the lowest
you'll take for it
I'll go 250 a no how about 150
how about 175
Carrie you got a deal okay great tell me
write you up over there thank you mom
I made a little money on this puppet I
made around $50 on him so I'm happy with
that
you
