Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig....published at 20:36 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
This is the aforementioned daughter, who definitely wasn't scared of Spider-Pig. Kids seemed to love him!
Bidders did, too. He sold for £3,200.
Hasta la vista The Ham-inatorpublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
This Arnie-inspired pig was in Christchurch Park, and proved to be too scary for my daughter.
He's pretty menacing, but proved popular amongst the bidders - making £4,400.

End of twitter postDiamonds are Forever...published at 20:25 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Bling is popular here at Trinity Park.
Stymantle had its own entrance music - Diamonds Are Forever, of course - and attracted bids galore.
Two women went head to head, quickly topping £4,000 - before a male bidder got involved.
The pig is "diamond encrusted" apparently, and looks fancy in the flesh.
Anyway... bidding kept on going, £5,000...£5,100....£5,400 - and that's the lot.
Woah woah, not so fast. £5,600, £5,700....£5,800.
That really is it. Good work!

There is no lot 19, as Ipswich Building Society has already bought it.
Elvis has left the building (well, he will at the end of the night)published at 20:20 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
..and he will do so with a man who is £2,800 less well off than he was at the start of the night.

This is what it looks like here at the pig auction...
The Force is strong(ish) with this pigpublished at 20:16 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Bids galore on the internet, as the Force awakens with Star Wars fans.
It's slow going... with a low starting price, and somehow only makes £2,200 - via an online bid.
Despigable Mepublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
I admit to sighing a bit when I saw the Minions themed pig on the Cornhill. It has piggy versions of the Minions plastered all over it, and is called The Swinions.
Oink oink. It sells for £3,600.
Boarba Fett is next up and could be a big one...
Pig N Mixpublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
A good example of a pig pun and design going hand in hand - with dolly mixtures and eggs making an attractive porker (if you like that kind of thing).
It sells for £5,000, but was almost the first internet sale of the night at £4,600.

£4,000 for the major, lot 14.
Arrrrggghhh, Frankenswine scares off bidderspublished at 20:07 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Frankenswine, Frankenswine's Monster...?
It's a good looking pig, but struggles to match the big hitters when it comes to bidding - making £2,600.
It's incredible that £2,600 seems a low price! And a good sign the auction is going well.
Image source, Pigs Gone WildStill to come... Ed Sheer-Ham and Porkman Roadpublished at 20:05 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
We're on lot 12, A Pig's Year Of It, which has just sold for £3,000.
Big ticket items Ed Sheer-Ham is lot 30, while Porkman Road, the Ipswich Town Football Club pig, is lot 27.
Both should trouble the current high price of £6,500.
Steam punk still in voguepublished at 20:02 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
A quick flurry of bidding sees Steam Punk Pig sell for £4,100.

That's very impressive - and still another 29 pigs to go. I think the £100,000 target is going to be reached comfortably.
Tally Ho - the first pig to be designed is carried on stage to cheerspublished at 19:59 British Summer Time 22 September 2016
Tally Ho (right) was the early poster boy for the Pigs Gone Wild campaign and is given a hero's welcome at Trinity Park.
Bidding is slow, with no-one initially tempted by the £2,000 starting price, but it built to a not-too-shabby £4,800.
