House Elves

At this time there is a surplus of 100 house elves at the Capitol building. House elves(Dobby included) can do a number of tasks for you from cleaning your castle to cooking your meals. They can even mend your clothes. Since they like to work at night, you might not see them very much. The current price is 500 Galleons per house elf or the equivalent rate. Other magical implements might be accepted such as wands or gilly weed. I am extremely partial to butter beer myself. If you get tired of your new employee, simply dismiss him or her by giving the elf clothes.

hmmm I could use some new combat servitors for the gladiator pits. How much is the Imperial Credit worth?

The Naginiians subscribe to the Society for the Preservation of Elvish Welfare (SPEW), and have it written into our constitution under the Confederation of Naginii, Sect 3, SubSection 5, Paragraph 34, Sentence 2, and beginning 10th word from the end, that no living creature will be sold, transferred, indentured, bound, enslaved, hog-tied or interned (internships are de facto slavery, we all know that) against their will into servitude.

We are shocked, shocked that living creatures capable of expressing free will (should they be given a sock and allowed to bang their heads against the wall a few times) are being sold like cattle....all our elves were purchased privately and discretely on e-bay.....wups. Shouldn't have said that....

We'll take 20 house elves for research purposes. Such an rare specimen often considered to be only stuff of fairy tales. We might learn many things from them. Btw. how much is 500 Galleons in USD ?

Generia will take 12, for the Emperor's personal amusement. That should come to 6000 'galleons'.
Rather Convenient

We would like 4 of these specimens for the purpose of scientific curiosity. The equivalent 2000 Galleons has been wired, please deliver them in top condition.

This sounds unusually familiar. Are you from Fairy World?

I am shocked at the desired treatment of the purchased house elves. Every body who wants to buy a house elf wants to use them for target practice or scientific experiments. As head of the Leaky Cauldron chapter of SPEW (Society for Protection of Elf Workers), I cannot let a house elf go to a country that intends to harm to it. As for Miratha, you need to read a Harry Potter book.

Harry Potter? DEMON! DEMON! BACK OFF! I HAVE HOLY WATER!

I've read all of the books, I was joking.

Anyway, since you have proposed Target Practice and Scientific Experiments, I'd like to buy some.

OOC: Is this actually for real? Or is this a joke?
