8/2/09: OK! Ante is officially upped. I want another Oriental so I’ll combine my offer. I’ll trade one of my Amethyst Young Orientals, and my Amethyst Curlie, for either a mint Young Oriental, or a non-mint other Oriental sculpt. We each pay our own ship cost. I just love Melody’s Oriental critters so much. Let’s do this!
First we have a lovely Young Amethyst Oriental. I ended up with two. I was thinking I’d keep the brighter one since it reminds me of Drag0nFeathers, who was so nice to sell him to me, and put the darker one up for trade. My sister got him for me not knowing I’d just bought the other from DF 😆 Luckily she doesn’t mind at all if I trade him–good sport. However since they were both very nice gestures, it’s near impossible to decide which one to give up, so you can pick the one you like better. I hope you don’t mind DF!!
The dark one is on the right in the pics. Both are in mint condition with mint hang tags and their original boxes.
Next is an Amethyst Curlie. This is the first Curlie I bought, thinking I’d start collecting them, but I’m not as gaga over the sculpt as I thought I might be. I might pick them up again in the future, but for now I think I’d like to focus on other things. This is a second-batch one, it doesn’t have the extra orange like some others did. She’s very pretty, near-mint with hang tag and box. She came out of the factory box with a rub on the bottom of the sculpt near the felt. It didn’t bother me since it’s on the bottom.
I also have lots of pieces that I’ve just put up for sale too, right over here. (shameless plug!) Happy hunting 😀
