King Kong

MONKEY BUSINESS
A car-boot sale enthusiast made a gorilla-sized profit when a vintage King Kong poster - which was bought for peanuts - sold for over a thousand pounds on Tuesday (20Nov07).
The original 1940s film poster was snapped up for just 50p ($1) at a jumble sale and buyers at Christie's auction house in South Kensington, London didn't hang around.
