Alla:

I have to assume that I am being that unclear. I do not consider the 
exchange of the currency to be the same as buying the jewelry and all 
other crafts from Goblins. This is one of the examples where goblins 
will be IMO very sure to not loose their clients' trust.

But we do not even know that Goblins consider money their property 
forever and ever,do we?

I will not be surprised that those views are restricted to highly 
valuable items similar to Sword, but that is of course just 
speculation.

It just feels so incredibly unfair to me, but I wrote about it 
earlier. And yes, before you ask I think that prohibition to carry 
wands is just as unfair. 

JMO,

Alla
