Real Castle For Sale

Post by jwcbigdog »

I came across this when I was doing some online research.

If any of you would like to own your own castle in Austria, it will set you back 6,000,000 Euros. Can anyone convert that to dollars please?

Here's the link!

A STONE monkey? What's with that? I'd have thought you'd've had a LEGO monkey. :lol:

Hmm... I have $20.00, personal ID, an old comb, some old fruit leathers, a Victorinox pocket knife, a BIC pen, a rosary, and a dirty hankerchief.

Hmmm. I have a drivers permit, loose change and about five dollers mixed in with the various Lego pieces that I pick up around the house.

On another note, there is a significantly cheaper castle here: http://italian-realestate.com/castlenaro.htm - not as luxurious as the other one though...

Price for real estate: $1,722,321.86

Water: 3 wells. In the vicinity the public waterworks.
Electricity: to connect.
Heating: no.
Telephone: no

Ha!


I have got €uros!

Right now my pocket is generously stocked with 72¢ (Euro-Cent) and an old 5-Deutschmarks-bill.

Schloss Matzen I'm coming!

Maybe they accept your €uro Armour, too ;)

Lessee, California Super Lotto is only at $7,000,000, so that's gonna be a bit short. I'll take donations, though! Anyone who contributes can come visit. :D

You may want to offer more than a visit since you are looking for $370K more. I might contribute if you name a tower or something after me!

This one looks haunted :roll: But, it would be fun for Halloween... as long as I don't have to sleep there.

Ok, I've talked with some Admins and I've decided to unlock this thread, but no more 'contents of pocket' posts, ok? :wink:
