Not that I can tell. 😕

[gryphondreamer]

so, i am guessing the starting bid is kind of steep?

Yeah, I would say that somebody there has no idea what the word “custom” means. Sheesh. The price isn’t totally ridiculous, but it’s definitely on the high side for a regular peacock old warrior.

It’s about $100 more than the retail was. Somebody who wants a peacock OW real bad will pay it though, I’m sure.

😆 😆

I was wondering what it meant, too. I was like, ‘Custom? That looks just like peacock…’ 🙄

[Maria]

Even so, it is hard to tell because the pics aren’t great. But it looks quite regular to me.

Looks just like my Peacock OW. Of course, mine is ‘custom’ too….custom painted by Windstone for all of us collectors. 😆

[Maria]

Except custom means according to a personal, special instruction, and I can’t tell the OW merits that. It’s “only” hand-painted.

[Starbreeze]

😆 You mean Melody didn’t custom paint the peacock OW for the hundreds of us that own one?

[Maria]

I just wonder who’s giving custom instructions to whom. We give Melody hints about what to paint, but she tells us what to buy by producing it… 😆

[Starbreeze]

Yeah…I’ve noticed that myself. 😆 I guess as long as we’re happy and she’s happy, it’s a great system. 😆

[Maria]

And it keeps the money circulating. That’s important. 😛
