I’ve decided to sell my white mother griffin. I’ve listed her on ebay, but had the auction start on Sunday, rather than starting now. (Auctions ending at midnight are no fun for anybody!) Item number is 290122241713 if anybody wants to take a look. I did put a reserve on, even though I hate reserve prices, because I don’t want to sell her for less than she cost me. So the reserve is $230, if anybody wants to know. I know I probably won’t get any more than that for her, but I figured just in case somebody really, really wants to have her now and not wait for the next batch to come available, I might as well give them the chance.

I saw this ebay item before I knew it was yours! I even had a dream about her! I was wondering-because I am a snoop-What are the other goose eggs? I know I wont be able to buy her, so I am depending on you to let me know!
He he he. There’s a thread about it somewhere on the forums. She has a vine along the lower edge of her other wing. It’s quite small and delicate, I didn’t notice it for a long time. The third is a small circular symbol, probably a peace sign, that’s located just beneath the primaries of one wing.
The male dragons also have an “easter egg” if you look at the side of the horns, they have a series of faces in silhouette. I know there are a few others out there too, but I don’t recall what statues have them.
You realize that now I’m going to have to look at all my windstones lookin for these?
I know the logo stone has a tiny frog that I did not notice until someone pointed it out to me!
He he he. I’m evil! I’ve given my male griffin a good look over, and all the smaller stuff like feldglings too, and haven’t found anything yet.
Lol “Easter Eggs”!
I suppose it’s possible, although I didn’t notice any on mine. Still looking though. Only the creator knows for sure 😉

No, it’s only on a few. Most do not have any at all.
First, let me say hello as Im a newbie to the site. From what Ive read so far, everyone is so nice and generous with attitude and information which, over my years online on only a few chat boards, is very rare. So it’s nice to come to a site where ppl are polite and enthusiastic.
A friend of mine (fellow collector) who is an artist and doing a fantastic job with the PYOs, told me that this site has a “selling flea market” area and Im wondering if Im in the right area or if not, where I can go? Do I HAVE to go through eBay?
Here is my situation. I have quite a few retired, mint condition Windstones that I must sadly and reluctantly part with. Im doing this with a lot of things in my life because, to be blunt, I have tons of medical bills (that won’t end until I do- seriously) to keep up with. Ive been procrastinating as long as I can where my Windstones are concerned as I cant bear to part with them. Ive been collecting them for as long as I can remember.
As a buyer on eBay some years ago, I had a horrible experience so Im not too keen on even being a part of eBay at all. However, recently I had dealt with one of those eBay drop off stores to sell some of my other statues (not Windstones) as well as some Baccarat flutes. With regards to the statues (which they forced me to group together in 2 groups of 3 and 1 group of 4), only starting at $9.99 which is what all of them went for (I was robbed as each of those statues were over $36 each), not only do I have no statues anymore, but I made NO money on them either. The store takes 42% of the first $200 at auction plus I have to pay out the eBay fees (those fees I dont mind but the 42% I do, not to mention their other rules).
I dont want to hand over my Windstones to them and have my Mint Retired Male Peacock Dragon go for $25 (same with my white mother dragon and my young emerald dragon and hatching peacock emperor). I think these stores take too much of a cut as I was forced to learn the hard way. My friend said to come here because there is a “flea market” to sell the Windstone pieces to true collectors and connoisseurs. Can anyone lead me further in the right direction?
Thanks for your time and sorry this was so long. Didnt mean the thread jack your white mother griffin. Hope she goes to a good home and if I had the money, Id SO scoop her up from ya for at least $300.
Best,
~*PT*~Just make a new post in this thread stating what pieces you have and what price you’re willing to let them go for.
PhoenixTears, so sorry to hear about having to part with your collection to pay bills. You are in the right area. Create a thread of your own listing the pieces you have to sell and if anyone wants them they should get in touch with you. If you want an idea of how te pieces have been selling on eBay lately so you have an idea what to sell them for (unless you know what you want to sell them for) you can contact one of the forum members for a few more days. Her name is littleironhorse. She’s been keeping a record of how things sell. Sadly though she is leaving the forum sometime in the very near future.
