Thank you! I generally don’t stop in here, but I was clicking through all of the boards today for some reason. It has been a trying week, but I had a wonderful day today.
Thanks again! 8)
Awww, so sorry to hear that. 😥 So that is what you meant by it didn’t end well. It is so hard to say goodbye to our furbabies, but I know you did everything you could for him (and I am sure he knew it). My condolences. {{hugs}}
Well, the numnuts went over budget on the building, and things are desperate. Any reasonable offers will be considered! Please let me know if you would like any pics emailed. I am also considering selling my peacock old warrior prototype (mint with COA) if I can get a good price for him. I am really struggling with that, but the bills are mounting, and we still aren’t open for business.
To make matters worse, my business partner has a 14 year old evil genius who hacked into his parent’s bank accounts and charged THOUSANDS :spank: before he was found out. Some of the charges were refunded when the items were returned because there are nice sellers out there, but it still a dicey situation with his bank. They are none too happy about this. The timing is just awful! :shout:
Please feel free to PM me with any questions. Thanks!
Oh my! How awful for you! My deepest condolences in the loss of your brother. {{hugs}}
Good luck with your classes though!
Well, I have managed to get myself in quite a pickle financially, and I see no way out for at least a few more weeks. I made the mistake of trusting a business man who I thought was a man of his word, but he is nothing but a self-centered jerk with no sense of decency. We signed a lease for his building back in October, and we were told the building would be ready to move our new business into in 2 weeks. Ha! 🙄 We are still waiting for his contractors (who I can only describe as Cheech and Chong meet Dumb and Dumber) to finish gutting the place so they can hang the drywall. I gave my former employer a month’s notice which I thought would give me plenty of time, but now I find myself with zero income and a pile of bills. Totally my fault for being naive and stupid, but I guess hind sight is 20-20, right?
Anyway, I have been scrutinizing my collection closely trying to decide which pieces to part with, and I am hoping to find some of them wonderful new homes. I decided to start with my injured pieces, since I doubt I will ever get the time to fix them properly, and I know that some of you amazing Windstone doctors could make them look new again. 🙂 I checked the Ravnheart database, and I would really like to get somewhat close to the average prices that were on there. Some of these prices are less than what I paid for them, but I adjusted for the damage. Here is my preliminary list with negotiable prices (without shipping):
White Mother Dragon, a few small chips and dents on her head and neck that need smoothed and the paint touched up on (the worst 2 chips are on her wing and tail) – $75.00
White Male Dragon, a few small dents and scratches around his head and face and a chip or two on the back (nothing really noticeable unless you look closely) – $75.00
Peacock Hatching Empress, the only damage I could see on her is a broken off horn and a couple of tiny paint rubs. SOLD
Peacock Rising Spectral, the tips of his wings were broken off and re-glued (must look really closely to see it), and a couple of chipped scales on his tail. – SOLD
Peacock Emperor, a few tiny paint rubs and one chip across 2 scales that was re-glued rather badly and painted (it is on the bottom towards the back and hardly noticeable unless you pick him up). – $200.00
Emerald Young Oriental – This is the one with the most damage; his tail was broken in 3 places and re-glued, and his foot (non display side) was smashed and needs re-sculpted and painted. He needs lots of TLC and paint touch ups, poor baby. SOLD
Please feel free to email me at lbrant(at)northwood(dot)com if you want more information. I pack well and ship quickly, and I hope that some of you who remember me from way back can vouch for me there. I know it can be scary buying from someone you don’t know, but I have had many successful transactions with fellow Windstone lovers both here and on EBay (I have 100% feedback on well over 650 transactions). Hope we can find these injured beauties new homes soon! Thanks!
Edited 12/1/10: New reduced prices! Also, I will be happy to email more pictures if anyone is interested. Thanks! 🙂
Thanks so much for all of the replies, I was really happy to hear back so quickly. You guys rock! 8)
Hi everyone!
I know I haven’t been around much in a good while, but I have been lurking when I would get a chance here and there. Working 3 jobs to pay down my debt has been keeping me pretty busy, and I usually fall into bed every night completely exhausted!
I am writing this because I am in desperate need of some artwork. I am trying to design a logo for a new company that is opening up in a couple of weeks, and I can’t paint worth a darn. The logo is of 3 running horses (I used my horses as models, so I would like to keep the faces as close to how they look now as possible). I have a rough draft, but I need someone to refine it for me and make it look professional. Can anyone help please? I need someone who can get on this right away, so we can order the signs and brochures ASAP.
If anyone has the time and is interested, please call me at 800-374-7949 ext. 232 or email me at lbrant1217@verizon.net to let me know what you would charge. Thank a million!!!

Hey, Blackdesertwind sent me a PM and I was able to recover my old login information! Yippee!! I though it was all lost! 😀 The message was totally out of the blue, but it made my night. Thanks so much, BDW!!
Hope to chat more soon!
Thanks everyone! Sorry for being AWOL so long, but it has been quite a year! I still lurk once in a while, but I may have missed quite a bit. Hope everyone has a safe and blessed Christmas and New Year! 🙂
