so um… how many Peacock SK’s do you think will show up on ebay within the next few months?
Not mine!
May 2, 2008 at 4:16 am #695506Unfortunately, there are a lot of greedy and opportunistic people in the world. When an item becomes rare, they buy it just to sell it at an enormously inflated price. The same thing happened with the Nintendo Wii. People buy it, then list it on Amazon, e-bay, and Craigslist for at least double what they paid for it. If the market will bear it, people will try to do it. It’s a sad fact of supply and demand. 🙁
May 2, 2008 at 4:24 am #695507AUGH. I need to sell some of my old pieces to have money to buy new ones, and they’re all packed in boxes that I can’t unpack because there’s just no room… >_< waaaant rainbow SK…waaaaaant….

-J R R TolkienMay 2, 2008 at 5:18 am #695508😯 26 pages on a single thread in one day and three colors of SKs in the store… What a difference 24 hours makes. Wow.
I really like the SK in gold.May 2, 2008 at 11:25 am #695509One day I am gonna have to go back and read this thread from the beginning… but not today. 😆 I hope some of these are still in stock when I get settled. I like the way she looks in gold.
May 2, 2008 at 11:35 am #695510I can’t get over how quickly those peacock SKs sold out! 😯 Windstone made quite a nice profit yesterday! The rainbow ones seem to be making their way to being sold out soon too. Why is there no love for the gold one? I think that one is actually the prettiest.
May 2, 2008 at 11:55 am #695511/sigh wants a rainbow sk. Looks around for organs to sell (who wants a kidney?)

I wouldn’t buy one from anyone on ebay anyway. Then maybe they will stop that. I can understand if its one you picked up for another forum member and they couldn’t get it from you but most ask here on the forums first, but not the ones who do it on ebay just for profit. 👿
I agree about that. Extras that you got for another person who fell through I can see, or if you bought it and just didn’t like it when you saw it in person, or something came up where you need emergency cash, but… I guess I think that if Windstone is nice enough to offer things to us here first at a fairly decent price, what makes others think they should turn around and milk someone else to make a profit themselves? Doesn’t seem right. If Windstone wanted to they could put ALL the limited stuff on eBay and make us pay through the nose, and make a lot more than they make by charging us what they do here, but they choose not to. Which is very amazing and kind and very very appreciated!
Okay, guys!! This is an old argument that gets brought up again and again. I addressed it here:
http://www.windstoneeditions.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6804&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=50I do NOT want to see arguing resurface over this again- this would be the fourth or fifth time. There is nothing wrong with reselling on eBay.

May 2, 2008 at 3:07 pm #695514Someone should let DM know about the Rainbows. He wanted one of those. Where did he go, btw?

I was on vacation and at Lake Tahoe for a 1 year memorial for my mom and 2 year memorial for my grandma. I’m back but do not have $1700 or more for these new SK’s they have in the store now. I hope they stay for some time!! After I get things caught up with the money from my part time job and get some things off my VERY LONG wish list maybe I can get 1 or 2
May 2, 2008 at 4:49 pm #695516I missed that thread too. I apologize as well.
