What’s keyword spamming?
I’m really out of touch here.
See all the words at the bottom of item descript? By putting all those “key words” in, if someone does a search by description, if they type in “Fairie” they will get their listing, even though the listing was not about a fairie in anyway.

They were the first 10 as well as the first batch that were shipped to stores.
I honestly don’t know how many batches were made (if any) after the first batch until the color was muted to what it is now.

True, but they don’t accept paypal. I didn’t feel comfortable calling my credit card into a business(?) that I didn’t know. Also, they had no shipping price listed. I just listened to my gut and decided which seller to go with. Time will tell if I was right or not.
Besides which, Nirvana said she wanted one mint in box, so I thought she would like to go after that one. 😀
Ya! I won him! My Cat Wizard!

The seller, Catnap, was great with communication so far and he said he followed the packing instructions on the tutorial. I’ll post pics once I get him.
I just thought I would post this now for anyone else who might be looking at his stuff. He said that he will also be posting a emerald mouse wizard soon and he currently has a few pieces listed.

Unfortunately, this store never has a sale unless they are discontinuing the line. And, they don’t quantity discount. They are very polite about it when you ask. But, they know they are the only store here that is carrying Windstones in this city.
Quote:I guess that depending on where you live, shipping charges might be cost-prohibitive when it comes to buying from a store vs. online. Plus, if you buy from a store, you don’t risk the item getting damaged during shipping, and you have the opportunity to hand-pick the piece. Since the different artists cause slight variations, some people might like some paint jobs better than others. *shrugs*
Unfortunately, the prices I calculated, I’ve included shipping, tax and duty and it is still cheaper than the store. And, this store, if you order a piece in, you have to buy and pay for it upfront.
I might have to keep buying online. I think I’ll get shipping quotes from emerald and wolflodge.
I didn’t realize you were talking about Canada. Does the duty/taxes get passed onto the buyer seperately or is that reflected by the difference in price? (Sorry, I’m ignorant of international duties) I assumed the prices were USD?

Ooooh! Good guess. I think you’re right, but we’ll have to see.
They are: sfth6. This seller is selling several things, all with stock photos. Does anyone know them or if they are legit?

Good job. I noted that too. I agree, awful attitude. Well, they will reap what they soe.
I don’t recognize the Ebay name though. I wonder if it was one of those bad sellers from a long time ago and they just changed their name?
After the issue of him firing the women on his show only due to their age (he is no one to talk) I have little respect for the man. I could say that is an insane amount of $$ for that, but then again, others would say the same about what we pay for some of our Windstones. Now I’m curious as to what the ending bid will be.

I don’t know if he comes in his original box…and of course he hasn’t arrived yet, so I don’t know if he’ll make it intact…but if he does, I’ll be SO HAPPY! I’ve wanted one of these for several years since my old one mysteriously disappeared from one of my old appartments….OOOH I hope he makes it!! >_< I've left VERY SPECIFIC packing instructions, but we all know how big a difference that makes….
Congrats! Was it on Ebay?
I’m so sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident. It’s good you still have mobility and have family around to help out.
I agree, the other driver’s insurance should pick up the bill, but if they start stone walling, you should seek legal advice. I’m not advocating lawyers or sueing for compensation, but sometimes they are necessary to get what you are entitled to under the law and to know your rights.
Heal quickly and well and keep us informed. *gentle hugs* 🙂
