      What I find more confusing is the sentence "Panda dung statue sells for..." so what is it? Is it a statue of panda dung? A statue of a panda made of some kind of dung? A statue of a panda made of panda dung? A statue of something made of panda dung? The price is easily explainable, it was likely sold at a charity auction for pandas, it is now something that this person can remind people he paid $45,000 to a charity to save pandas.

      I had a vision of a panda dung statue (a statue of a panda, made out of panda dung) setting up a stall to sell those little potted bamboo plants.

    I should probably make some kind of joke here, but words fail me.
