    Hello Collectors,
    I'd like your advice on the possible value of this beautiful rare Ore Cart.

    As a miner I love it, but I would also like to get some rare books for the Trammel Library, so I'm wondering whether to sell or trade. I've checked through the Forum but find no information about sale value, except that Dalavar really wanted one. I remember Markos telling me something along the lines that it was one of the few things Dalavar would have killed for :D:eek: Now there's an obsession I can really understand!
    Anyway, all help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Azoth

    p.s. for those curious about such things, the ore cart comes in two parts:

    You have that lovely plough, Arnold, don't you? I remember admiring that during the last deco contest ... In your amazing roof-top garden :)

    It would indeed, Erza, I completely agree, but I think it's reasonable that for a library that would first of all be books. I remember admiring Rezon's book collection and to be honest lusted over some of his rare books. I spend all my time IRL reading rare antique books, particularly about alchemy, so that's one reason I have so much fun developing the library downstairs and the laboratory upstairs. If you have any suggestions for other things that could be there, though, please fire away :)

    P.s. I decided to ask for advice after seeing Treasure Man's amazing set of Santa's books, including that Master Plan. I also love the face down red/scarlet book that TC mentioned in that thread: http://uorforum.com/threads/price-check-1-of-1-full-set-of-christmas-books.16969/#post-151742

    P.p.s. If anyone out there has duplicates of Lysander's Notebooks that they'd part with, I'd also love to create a stack of those at the Library: http://www.uorenaissance.com/search/Lysandernoteboo

    The same, too, for the Grimmoch Journal: http://www.uorenaissance.com/search/Grimmoch

    And the Tavaras Journals: http://www.uorenaissance.com/search/Tavaras

    Originally it was an anniversary scavenger hunt prize (server birth).

    It is one of the gifts that Markos donated to the Trammel Library, wylwrk. If I do decide to trade it, it will be in order to get rare books for the Librarian, although Mad Professor keeps asking for something special like a bubbling flask for the alchemy laboratory.

    P.s. Really like the look of your signature image :)

    5m seems reasonable to me for sure

    I don't usually do house rares, but this one is sweet! I'd definitely toss a bid in.

    Okay, I've received one or two PMs about the Ore Cart. I'm not so much after cash (though that's always a help), but rares for the Trammel LIbrary, in particular books and tarot.
    Here's a selection of stuff I'd love to have there:
    Large_Tarot.png Medium_Tarot.png BoksFaceDown_Artifact.png RareOpenBook4.png RareBooksStacked.png RareBooksStacked2.png
    Any of these would really add to the desks in the library and some of them sold for quite a lot less than guesstimates for the Ore Cart. I've already been offered two books in exchange, but the best-case scenario would be a combination of tarot and book.
    Thanks for looking (and for your patience),
    Azoth

    p.s. If you are interested in the Ore Cart, do feel free to make other offers, but I thought I'd at least give some idea of what I'm really after. I'm not all that interested in cash or plat in the bank

    If it helps, here are some possible leads: I believe Gideon Jura has the tarots, Shadowjack should have some of those books, the red face down book I last saw still in the possession of Rezon. I tried to buy it but ran out of gold. Perhaps someone else bought it or maybe he still has it.

    Good luck!

    Thanks, TC. Gideon does have both tarot and they look gorgeous, but he's hanging on to them (can't say I blame him). Is Shadowjack still around? I never see him on IRC anymore. Arnold has a few of ReZon's old books too ... he sent me shots of them in his deco ... *drool* :) I wonder who has the other tarot? There should be more than one, but I've no idea who else has them. If I do end up making a trade, I'll of course put up a post on the Trammel Library thread :)
