From the picture I saw it looked more like it was silkscreened, rather than handpainted. I just wonder how many of them are selling at their price of $147 each ppd? Not many I'd be willing to bet. At least the banks I make actually are handpainted, but I'd be ashamed to ask prices like that. The large banks weren't selling well at $20 each, so they sure wouldn't sell at higher than that. But, on the other hand I've known idiots that figured only high priced things were rth buying - no matter what it was - I wonder if I'd get any takers at maybe $100. I use patterns, so it doesn't take long to actually assemble one (not counting the glue and paint drying times), the painting takes a litle time but is relaxing - I do NOT depend on woodworking for a living, I do it for fun and relaxation, any money I make from it is pure gravey.
