Well she got back to me, and we are working out a partial refund price. Looks like she’ll work with me on it…
She also stated that it has never been displayed and was in the box, so maybe it was like that from the factory?It’s good that you’re working it out. But she should still have checked the condition before listing it as “mint”, even if it came like that from the factory. There are millions of listing stating “just taken out of the box for photos or to check condition”. You can’t just assume that it has no damage if you don’t even bother to look.
well the problem we have here is that Windstones are completely HAND MADE and Mint has so many different meanings here
I’m no expert at repairs (I’ve never tried!) but I did paint a PYO griffin to “match” a White dragon, and the paints I used were
Liquitex “Metallic/Irridescent White”
Delta Ceramcoat Gleams “Metallic Pale Gold”The latter is quite thin, so it makes a nice transparent layer when brushed over the white.
Not exact, but pretty darn close!

As for condition… I’m also a model horse collector, and in that hobby it’s not uncommon to distinguish between “mint” and “factory mint” condition — the former means the horse has been closely inspected for any kind of flaw, and passes, while the latter just means “nothing’s happened to it since it left the factory, but there may be paint overspray, tiny paint bubbles or plastic flecks in the paint, or some other minor flaw.”
Not everyone make the distinction, but it’s always nice to bid/buy from those who do! Maybe Windstone fans should adopt a similar code, with “absolutely mint” for inspected items versus “factory mint” for those that only get/pass a cursory look-over?
Interested in buying or trading for: GB Pebble Sitting Red Fox in dark grey, Lap Dragon Test Paints (Water Sprite, Glacial Pearl, Opulence, Pastel Rainbow, and many others - see my Classifieds ad), Blue Morpho OW, GB Pebble Loaf dragons in blue/aqua/teal, and Griffin Test Paints (Black Rainbow or Frosted Jade).
