The sign above the battered old shop, was peeling, the painted letters were scratched and barely acknowledgeable. Since the closure before the Second War, the shop had suffered. It's previous owner Ollivander, had long since gone into retirement and his nephew now worked in the shop.
The shop was always dark and dank. Dust layered all the surfaces, the purple velvet cushions and cloth that made up the shops window display was faded so violently, it wasn't really purple at all. It's dirty windows let very little light in.
Inside the shop itself, a small table lamp glowed dimly. The giant oak desk was scratched with deep grooves. Wand boxes littered the surfaces, they were crammed into shelves and they littered the floor around the desk.
Suddenly a shuffling noise came from somewhere in the shop. After a few seconds, the shuffling noise got louder, an old man appeared from one of the hallways holding an armful of wand boxes.
"Oh." He cried, "I did not hear you come in. A wand is it? Try these!" Before you could utter a response he opened his arms and the many boxes fell onto the desk.

Either make up the wand you want or let him choose it for you, make a new thread in the shop, entitled: "A new wand for <name>!" He needs to know:
Size in inches
Wood type
Magical core ingredient
Then you can role-play getting a wand, The shop keeper will reply to your posts. If you tell him which wand you want he will get it for you and you may buy it. If you do not know which wand you want then you can try out the wands on the desk. When you have tried one he will tell you what it is. But remember, the first wand you try might not be the right one!
