Thanks for your replies. As you guys were typing, I was PMing “littleironhorse” about how she was doing stuff. So, hopefully if she has time, she’ll impart some wisdom to me.
Ive been watching eBay for the items that I have that I need to sell to see how theyre doing. They were doing better a couple months ago. But honestly, Id really only want what I paid for the piece even though a bidding “war” might get me more. Thats how much Id rather stay away from eBay! Sadly, they never came in original boxes so I have that strike against me. And because I never thought in my wildest dreams Id ever sell them (some were gifts from my late husband too), I never kept their tags. But theyre in pristine condition, kept in a curio cabinet in a smoke free environment.
As a photographer, I can provide superior, multiple angle photographs via email once I have my thread up & going here and someone hopefully shows an interest. And thank you all for your advice. Once I figure out what Id like for each of those pieces and what the shipping would be, I’ll start my own thread and everyone can have a free for all. Can you tell my tone is still that of procrastination :blushing: 😥
The consolation for me here, on this site, is knowing theyre going to true Windstone lovers. Im a sucker for karma so I know my babies will get good, loving homes and not just the fair weather “dragon” or “mythic creature” amusist.
Thanks again everyone for your information, as well as welcoming me with open arms (and wings) instead of the usual gruff induction that most chat boards force you to endure. Glad there is still culture & civility left in the world! I found this site way too late in life but plan to be around for as long as I have left!
And a very special thanks to SPark for letting me cut my teeth on her thread. Again, not my intention to thread jack. So sorry.
Welcome to the forum! Just a tip: You cant post pics till you hve 5 posts, so you gotta talk a little more. You can make your own thread and list what you have and then post pics later. 🙂
Thanks for the tip and the welcome! But when I was talking about posting pix I was refering to emails. Posting the photos of them here, they would be too small and if someone is going to buy, I’d imagine theyd want to see them large and as close up as possible, from many angles, etc.
And yea, I’ll certainly start my own thread when it’s time and not leech off of SPark’s anymore! 😛
If you want to garner more interest and share photos of the pieces you are selling, an alternative to you is to just provide the links to the images so that we may see without you having to email the photos out to many curious members. I would be glad to help you figure that out if you need help!
Good luck, so sorry you have to part with your pieces.

That’s so generous of you! Please forgive my lack of knowledge concerning some internet and message board protocol but does this mean something along the lines of uploading photos of my pieces to a free image hosting site like Photobucket (only one Ive ever used & am even remotely familiar with) and go from there?Right now I know there’s only 4 pieces I’ve taken pix of and they are of the White Mother Dragon, the Male Peacock Dragon, Young Emerald Dragon and the Hatching Emperor in Peacock. All are mint but we can go into other things in a different thread. Im just waiting to figure out what kind of boxes each will fit in properly and how I can determine shipping before I create a thread of my own (and stop mooching off of poor SPark’s here before she snaps my neck like a twig… up side tho is that I keep pushing her thread back to the front!) and advertise them officially. And yes, part of that is still procrastination as I never wanted to let them go 😥
But Im ever thankful for the offer of a helping hand and if it’s OK with you, I may try to get a hold of you (PM?) when it comes time to do this. Thanks Nambroth.

Yes, you can use photobucket or another image hosting site. 🙂
If you can weigh your pieces in their boxes (have a scale?) then you can go to whatever service you prefer, such as USPS.com, and get shipping quotes based on weight, dimension, and destination. That might help! If you do not know the weight of a particular piece, someone like emerald might be able to help. She’s a dealer and knows the weights of most of the pieces in their box since she has to ship them. 🙂

My art: featherdust.comYep! I’m quite pleased! Of course it would be nice if it went a little over in last minute bidding, but the price right now is certainly good enough for me.
