    Hi everyone,
    I'm checking to see if there's any interest in this fantastic "Character Statue Maker" which sells on the Platinum Reward Vendor for 1000 Plat.

    Treasureman donated it to the Trammel Library as a way of raising funds for other acquisitions, such as Cupid's and Santa's books, Elvish tomes, and maybe if we're lucky one or two spawning rare books. We tried out the statue maker - it makes a statue of whoever has it in their pack; you can choose from a variety of poses and select your preferred ore colour - here's a shot of the Librarian standing by his valorite statue.

    In truth, we are now hugely reluctant to part with this treasure, but since we would like funds to get more books for what is, after all, primarily a library, we're seeing whether there's interest out there. As the vendor asks 1000 plat, after asking advice from people more clued up about these things, we're offering this beauty at a discounted

    s/b of 7.5M

    Plat valued @9k
    Of course we'd be very interested to hear from anyone offering trade in the various books mentioned above.

    If one bidder the offer has to stand for 48 hours; if two or more, the highest bid standing for 24 hours.

    Thanks for looking!

    p.s. Sorry, @Alex Caember I know you've seen the Librarian's statue and advised me to keep it ... if I had more funds I would, but the Librarian really wants more books!

    WTT a mountain of player written books. Yes, that player happens to be me. Quality of books is... disputable.

    Here is an excerpt:

    "Though @Treasureman was wise beyond his years, he made a gaffe in his decision to not give the winner of ye olde fourth annual scavenger hunt a character statue. Now our hero, Puck, is reduced to begging for said statue. With an ego the size of a mongbat, Puck dug deep and began to scratch his quill against parchment, intent on impressing the Librarian. Sadly, he only drew the attention of Horse, who was drawn to the sweet scent of his ink. Puck feverishly scrawled page upon page of nonsense while swatting away the constant barrage of bees, hoping the Librarian was simply overwhelmed by the sheer volume of text. All of the heroes of the realm secretly cheered for Puck in his battle to keep the statue from the coffers of the wicked @Erlkonig . Will the dastardly villain prevail? Will the Librarian show pity on Puck and his desire to be immortalized in stone? Will the Librarian fancy something in Puck's treasure room? TUNE IN NEXT TIME."

    Thanks for bidding @Erlkonig and @Gideon Jura :) You've helped me use @Treasureman's incredibly generous gift to raise some funds for books for the Library. Next stage is to hope I manage to find some bookish treasures. Fortunately, Erl's auction will be providing a fishing rod for the Trammel Aquarium and that gorgeous teal Pegasus for the Library. I'll add some new shots to the Trammel Library Thread soon. Now, though, time to get to bed a 4:00 am!!! :eek:o_O
