::drool:: It's gorgeous.
I have always wanted a castle of my very own.
Alas, I don't have millions.

This article says Vlad the Impaler "spent one night in the 1400s at the castle."

Having counted all of my worldly wealth, I think I'm a few hundred million short. Do you think they'd accept 74p?
Such a lovely castle...

...and the surrounding forest looks like it would be most delightful for walking around in on a moonlit evening!

You know, I bet if everyone on G-net put together their money (and I mean all of it), we could make a joint purchase.

Wow, it would be so nice for everyone on G.Net to live in my country! The Bran Castle is lovely, though quite small on the inside. There are narrow corridors and secret passages, and there is also an interior courtyard with a well in the middle, and rose bushes around it. There are also long paths and a lot of stairs which lead up to the castle, which would be perfect both for strolls and morning exercise...
The bad thing is that now that it's on sale I won't be able to visit it anymore.  I'm going to miss that castle...

If I ever win the lottery and it's still up for sale, I WILL buy it!
(But, I doubt that I'll win the lottery. *sigh* Oh, well. One can dream.)

I just saw a show on the telly where this guy bought a Funeral Home for use as his personal house! It had a basement embalming lab, complete with the equipment and a working elevator and everything! If I can't afford Dracula's Castle, then I will buy a used Funeral Home!

$135 million? Damn, and I only have $134,999,999... Normally, the penny wouldn't matter, but then there's the taxes...

They should leave the furniture where it belongs. It's a part of the castle. So, the ideal spot for a gnet party?

Hmm the bats flying around the ramparts at twilight is a lovely feature. Maybe he'd be willing to give us a discount considering how we could most definatly fullfill his dream of selling the castle to somone "who will treat the property and its history with appropriate respect."

*Sigh* How I'd love to live there, even as a servant. If I actually owned it, I would keep it open to the public and give the tours myself. I didn't realized Vlad Tepes had only spent one night there, I would never want to live anywhere he'd actually resided at. *Shiver*

If I lived there I would own thousands of bats and make a special lair for them somewhere in the castle.
