I was leery of that auction or I may have joined in…The shipping had $10-50, and I was worried that with the way it was set up it might be a scam, there’s been alot of that sort of stuff going on lately… 😕
I was leary of it as well.
Oh Ski, I need that gas mask to protect me from my BF. His farts have been smelling like rotten eggs lately. 😆
😆 I have another one if you need it 😆
It says I didnt win the auction, but it does not mention a reserve. I am new at the live auction, so I probably didnt do something right.
I should not have been bidding anyway, but for $5, I could not pass it up. Paris here I come!

Oh boy, I can just imagine the look on his face if I wore that around the house.They probably didn’t want to sell it at that price, but I am glad to hear that you are going to Paris. I have been there, but I didn’t like the people. Oh and if you get into a cab….be prepared to get scared.

Well then you should go to India, I bet you won’t be after that.

I dunno honey. It has an asterisk* next to your price of $0.00 which in fine print means “absentee bid.” I dont know what that means either. But I want to know what the heck they do with the item if it didnt sell. Apparently there were no other bites! Better not chuck it!As for shipping, I dunno about that as well. I know it said on there $10-$50 but I thought that that was what they were expecting the piece to be worth. If you had looked where they list questions answered by seller, someone asked about shipping to some US zip code and the seller responded by saying $13.00.
Still kicking myself but it was out of my hands. If I cant have it, I want Ski to then! What a killing! I know youre busy but have you contacted them to see what was what? Im just too curious (and being a Leo, I should watch out as you know what they say about curiosity and cats! Hey, youre a Leo too)! ::meow::
Have fun in Paris sweetie!
From the auction:
“Reserve by the Consignor or Seller-Unless the sale is advertised and announced as a sale without reserves, each lot is offered subject to a reserve and Pacific Galleries may implement such reserves by bidding through its representatives on behalf of the consignor. When bidding Pacific Galleries will use bidder # 23, 50, 444, 900, 983.”
It could have been sold to a floor bidder, but it doesn’t look like it. If the reserve wasn’t met, the seller keeps it and possibly has it put up for auction another time.

Too much fine print in that sucker to read over at eBay (tho I did until my eyes crossed). Why cant these kinds of Windstones be at auctions near me (live in person auctions; not eBay)
I hope you have a glass of wine in Paris on me, ski! I actually got up early today so I could watch the end of the auctions – they were ending when I’m usually getting ready for work. Thanks – I’ve been looking for a peacock coiled for awhile. And then couldn’t resist temptation for the sun dragon. I’ve got a gold pen to fix his toe.

Congrats and thank you!!! 😀 I am shipping them off tomorrow. 😀

The Sun Dragon and Coiled male are on their way. Shipping was really cheap, too, so I will refund you ASAP. Dang… I owe someone else a $9 refund for shipping… I forgot all about that! 😳
The hatchling went for only $5 and shipping was $15! They let me send it letter, though, so it ended up being $5. That was nice of them. What a waste on the hatcher, though. He was brand new. 😕
