Looking for donations of sandstone.

[CheezyMarsBar14]

Hey guys! Today I want to start building a "mock" desert temple on my plot. (Yes my plot is swamp and I've filled in an area with sand) So according to Minecraft Wiki every desert temple contains: 3,078 sandstone blocks. That's alot. Alot more than I thought. So I am trying to reach this by donations, if it doesn't go well I'll pay 3.50 caps a stack. Also I will actually need more than 3,078, as there are other sand materials in a temple.
If you do not have sandstone and want to contribute I will hire you to go to a desert in PvE and mine sand. You will receive .75 cap/stack if you choose this method.

Thanks, Cheezy

I'm not seeing sandstone for sale from the store, so I'm assuming that you're second option is making it straight from sand.

You can buy sand for .03 from the store. You would need 256 sand to make 1 stack of sandstone. 256 * .03 = 7.68 caps per stack.

(3078 blocks needed) divided by (64) = 48 stacks of sandstone needed. 48 * 7.68 = 368.64 caps.

Cheezy, I will donate the 400 caps you need if you simply make a donor sign and keep my name on it @ the front of this temple.

Hope my math is right

I completely forgot about the shop...

Why would someone get hired by you to mine sand at 0.75 per stack... they can just go dig sand themselves and sell it for the higher price.

Nope. Sand sells for 0.1 in shop. 0.1 x 64 = 0.64. Profit from sop : .64 Profit from me: .75
Unless I'm wrong that's 11 cents from than shop.

Thats not what I mean by higher price... you said you would buy for 3.50 per stack.

 

[CheezyMarsBar14]

I see... 3.50 per stack = Sandstone.

Hey, not all of us have been around long enough to know what it was like when the shop was always available.
They're just not that used to the shop.

Orrrrrr cheezy just has holes in his memory.

I have holes in my memory... I can't remember what I had for dinner last night. Also I was around before shop went bye-bye and used it constantly before it went bye-bye.
