They also don't seem to factor in the multiplication. You're not getting ONE Partridge in a Pear Tree, you're getting TWELVE. The only one you get at unit price is the Drummer Set.
After doing the math, I believe the total cost of the traditional christmas comes to $66679.00 (plus, probably, sales tax and licensing). This excludes the cows for the maids, which would probably add a HEFTY sum (I have no idea of actual prices, but I'd be surprised if a good milking cow comes in at less than $5,000, which would mean your eight maids require $40,000 worth of Gurnsey, for a grand total over $100,000!
From what I understand (here in dairy land) milking cows are generally worth around 10k a piece (for insurance). I do not know if that also includes some future calves or lost milk. I assume registered award winning cows or those that produce high fat content milk would be worth more if they were insured as such.
I would probably just settle for the 10 lords a leaping... :P
Those gold rings are drastically underpriced. I paid $300 for my sister's ring that I recently cast--and that's the casting price, not what the retailer would charge for it!
It's cheaper in Australia. Swans are a dime a dozen, and blackbirds are pests. If you find the right farmer, he/she will be happy to get rid of the cows (and hire out the maids for minimum wage) to help get through the drought.
