A bargain, if you're in the market for ceramic pigs.

Avril just loves them...and because of that love refuses to eat pork...me, there,s nothing better than a bacon roll....

There is a huge collectors market for pigs. Whenever I put one on Ebay it would sell. Every other owner of a pork store has a collection of them as well as others who just like them. My wife has a psychedelic stuffed pig from the late 60's. it is orange with pink stars on it. I bet I could sell it in a minute.
