Ok I am confused.
I would be part of a bulk purchase.
My order would be exactly this:
1.
Guarded Inn
Item#: 10000
Price: AUD 38.50
Amount wanted : 2
Total price: AUD77.00
2.
Luke Skywalker Key Chain
Item#: 3914
Price: AUD 5.50
Amount wanted : 3
Total price: AUD16.50
TOTAL: $93.50
So if anyone from Melbourne wants to contact me, then this is my order.
Thanks
George Georgiou

: 10000 (Maybe, cause hey its classic castle)
