That’s a fact.
A little off track, but… It’s strange the Trio CL doesn’t sell so well. It looks beautiful just in the pictures; I’m surprised it can sit around at dealers’ stores.Greater Basilisk wrote:That’s a fact.

I really don’t have a good place for mine….it doesn’t fit on my book cases. It does look good in the center of my dining room table.

It’s big? Windstones always end up bigger than I imagine them from the pictures. Cool. 😀

The dragon heads are about 5 inches tall and the candle lamp is about 9 inches across. I hope that gives you an idea of the size.

Seems like it would be best to help out people we actually care about. Just my $0.02
I can do 15% off items that are slow salers, but not my full Windstone stock. But not 25% sorry guys. I can also do free shippin inside the US. I can only offer Windstone on sale for a limited time (starting 1/23 for a week) New Years sale!
I would guess Grandio can offer free shipping and %off sales because they have been around for quite a while and they sell other things that can offset the discounts. It’s nice that they offered 25% off. I always appreciated the free shipping, though – that’s why I’ve stuck with them. Maybe (probably) my savings are an illusion, but there’s that psychology again. lol Not to mention, their site is kept updated and it’s very easy to see what they have available. Personally, I hate one picture with dropdown color choices. That’s just me, though.
It’s not a money issue. It’s that fact that they have signed a contract with Windstone saying they will not sell items for less then the set Windstone price. Windstone did this wiht their venders to make sure they do not de value their work.
I do not however know if there is anything in that contract able being able to put the items on sale
I would have to assume all retailers pay the same wholesale prices for Windstone. The retailers chose their markups within reason, with a set “floor” from Windstone. Some may chose to make more money on a few people. Others choose to offer a sale and therefore make more money overall on increased sales. If the retailer sets their price too high, the market will not support it and their product will not move.
You’d think that would be the case, but emerald said that her contract specifies what she has to sell the items for (which is what DM pointed out):emerald212 wrote:I don’t know how Grandio can have a sale because I have a minimum of what I can sell the items for (in my contract with Windstone), and I already sell them at that price.
I wish I could have a sale sometimes. I have a couple of candlelamps that aren’t moving.
Maybe they get around it by putting almost everything on their site on sale. *shrugs* Better order now, in case we got Grandio in trouble and they get a cease and desist. lol
I just hope they are not clearing our their inventory to stop carrying them. They are one of the largest Windstone dealers I have ever seen
I would like one of those Trio of Dragons…So don’t get all flustered aobut it. It’s on my list and I would like to get it from you. Grandio gets alot of business, you could use mine. Can we add it to the others I am paying on? 8) If not, I can wait until taxes come back, shouldn’t be too long. I hope I want one of those BEP OW’s. 😈
I hate the fact that I have my w-2 but can’t file my taxes until I get my statements from my Mortgage companies and 401K
No mortgage here…I left that witht he Ex! 😆 😆 😆
But, I do have some assinine neighbors in my building. *grumbles* 👿I hope the mortgage companies have the same rule employers do that they have to have their tax paperwork sent out now later the January 31st

That is big! That size makes $79 a very good price, I think.
