Are many people collecting three monkeys?
It is assumed that more than 300 collectors from all over the world are actively searching the internet for 3 monkeys, but there must be many more that dont have or dont want internet services. During the early 1990s, initiated by several newspaper articles, a few three-monkey collectors in the Netherlands became aware that they were not alone with their hobby. They contacted each other and decided to meet. That was in 1993 and since then yearly meetings have been organized, mainly in the Netherlands. Today the mailing list of No Evil collectors, just in Holland and Belgium, exceeds 100 persons. A few years later, when internet auctions came up (especially eBay), it was through this platform that 3 monkey-collectors in the USA and in other countries discovered that there were more people interested in the No Evils. They were outbidding each other to such an extent that part of the eBay community (small at that time) was very closely watching all what was happening in the No Evil Monkey
