Huh. Yeah I was one of the people looking for an old Green for years. Finally got one, and have to break up the whole set. Sigh.

I will probably just set a base price and take offers on all of them I guess.

Got one more mystery, though. I have a peacock, and an emerald peacock and then a weird one in between the two. I can’t figure out which it’s supposed to be, though I know it’s a production one. I just got it from someone else a long time ago. Thoughts?

Thanks Etruscan! Ill try to brave it, I guess. Would rather avoid eBay if possible. They take such a high cut now.

Also have the elven fledge too, come to think of it. I think that’s all of them made now?

Ugh. So the time has come,sadly, to sell off a big chunk of my collection. Times are hard all around and we’ve got two emergency rescue kittens we weren’t planning for.
I will, in the next few days, be putting up at least 2/3rds or more of my Fledgling collection as well as a bunch of other pieces. I don’t have any eBay stuff or anything fancy, but I do have every production and limited production fledge that had ever been released, as well as some loads from the earliest grab bags and some stuff that’s either retired or been out of production for years. Some of the fledges I can’t even find on the site anymore, either retired or postponed production. So I’m really not sure what to ask for sone of these or if I should do it by taking offers? But even then, I need a starting price.
And a few may have been repaired (very minor) over the years, but I have no idea which ones anymore. And most of the repairs were so skillfully done, I legit can’t tell?

And some I need help from the older members. Like the very first release of a pink fledgling? Was that pearly pink or shell pink? The very first release of a silver fledge was just Silver, so not sure how to “list” it. Did the copper patina with red eyes have a different name or just copper patina with red?

These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I still need to photo them all and there are a few colors I won’t be selling, like the rainbows.

Fledglings (more than likely selling)

Amethyst (retired)
Brown
Copper Patina (red and teal eyes)
Black Violet Peacock
Black Gold
Emerald Peacock X2 (both are very different, color wise)
Gold (ltd, signed edition. Has a COA)
Old Green (very ltd. production. Sniff)
Peacock (retired)
Prismatic Spring
Red Fire (retired)
Ruby (I have a dark and a light one) (retired)
Silver (original release)
Silver (goof up version-very limited edition)
Stone
White (retired)
Violet Flame (original ver. I think the newer version is slightly different?)

Possible (on the fence about these)
Lavender Pearl
Aquamarine
Pink (? 1st release- shell or pearly, I don’t know?)
Muddy Belly

Not selling
Rainbow
Rainbow pearl
Sand
Emerald

(I think? That’s all there was production wise?)

Others (a lot of these have been in delayed production for years)

Bird winged flap cat-Birman
Tiger and Puffin (silver and brown Bengal)
Tanuki natural
Tanuki red panda
Pebble Cougar Ivory with blue eyes
Pebble lady cat-black rainbow sparkles
Pebble fox (sitting)- black rainbow sparkles
Hatching baby maiasaur
Curled dragon-toasted pearl (retired?)
Dragon gargoyle
(Maybe) Crouching Ocelot griffin chick

Poads

Zeppard poad with blue eyes
Young poad- think it was from the simple safari edition, but not sure?
Young poad-tiger stripes-from a grab bag safari edition. Don’t remember which.
Tad poad- from 1st grab bag edition. Brown and tan.

Thanks for any help! I’ll post pictures if needed once I take them this weekend.

Thanks! Fledges are one of my favorite sculpts, and since I can’t collect every sculpt in every color, I picked the Fledge to collect in as many colors as possible. The old Green was my long time grail to finish my collection, save for any new ones that come out in the future, and now he’s home with his siblings. 🙂

I finally have them all! My last fledge, thanks to the lovely Dragonfeathers. Now I’ve got all the production and limited production ones I’m aware of and a few variations. 🙂

I got a zebra. He’s cute, and has a little heart on his cheek, but going up for trade.

Lol, also I named my shiny Growlithe #1379. That’s how many i checked before I found one.

Sigh. Ok y’all I work at a doctors office. A back doctor and have worked in the medical field and adjacent to it since I was in my early twenties. I was also injured in my early twenties and herniated 7 discs in my spine and messed up my shoulder badly. I have done it ALL. Been the patient, been the one caring for the patient. Been the one having to scream at the insurance company for the patient. Been the patient screaming at my own insurance company. Been to the holistic healers, the chiropractors, the fancy specialists, the regular docs as a patient. Worked as a rad tech, a medical assistant, for those same docs. Here’s the things I wish people understood after almost twenty years doing all this.

One- yes, in the U.S. our healthcare system is broken. But please stop blaming doctors and providers for it. They/we did not break it and most if us are not trying to scam you or keep you from getting better. I’m sorry if you think that or you’ve had bad experiences but most of us are at the mercy of the same broken system. We can’t give you the medication or treatment we’d like to that might work better because YOUR Insurance won’t let us until you try all the other useless stuff first, even when we know and they know it’s not the best choice. Even when I spend two hours on the phone fighting to try to get it approved and get told, no, sorry. So to you, it looks like we gave you something ineffective to keep you coming back. What you don’t see us that we already know we can’t win the fight with your insurance until you try and fail it first. When you all generalize how shitty and greedy and useless all docs and medical folks over here in the U.S. are you make us all think, why do we even bother? Why fight the system for people who literally don’t care and think the worst of us without any damned clue?

Two- Chronic pain will literally cause mental illness, and further physical illness. It can twist you into someone you don’t even know. And when it’s “invisible” like back pain, people and even doctors and nurses, sometimes treat you like you’re crazy because they can’t”see the problem” and it’s not always quantifiable like cancer or diabetes. So try your best to give people with both chronic pain and mental illness some patience. They usually go hand in hand. No one believes that the people who have they could possibly be suffering”that much” and the stigma about even admitting to both remains.

Three- Please be very, very careful with back alley/under the table people. I’ve personally had more damage and seen more patients come through many of my offices with more damage caused by these people than helped by them. With spine, often one improper adjustment can cause fractures and I see more than one of these injuries every YEAR! Often caused by chiropractors who adjust people who should not have adjustments or have pathology that is dangerous to go undiagnosed. Chiropractors also tend to give x-rays and radiation without ANY training in many states. If you found someone and feel great, good. Count your Blessings, but be aware that you got lucky and may not always be lucky. Just like not every doctor is a money grubbing jerk, not every Eastern medicine practitioner or chiropractor is legit or has any training or even a clue as to what they’re doing and could, in fact legit hurt you and you would have zero recourse if they did. A lot of these people are even medical docs from other countries, not Eastern medical practitioners, who just couldn’t get a license to practice here or someone who had a license and lost it.

Finally, spine note only- if you have herniated discs, there are several classifications. Everyone, just about gets one or two past a certain age as the discs lose elasticity and height due to age and life factors. Most people have zero symptoms. A bulge can sometimes be reabsorbed. A herniation rarely is. An extrusion can almost never be treated successfully short of injections or surgery, depending on pain level and symptoms. Most herniations and all extrusions never go away. A disc, once bulged, is easy to damage again, like a water balloon that pouched out. It will always be weaker. Core strengthening for the back and learning how to bend/lift property so as to not reinjure is key to avoiding turning a bulge into worse. I learned all this the hard way with years of every damned treatment imaginable and eventually getting the pain under some control, only to overdo gardening because I felt “great”, bend wrong, and turn a herniated disc into an extrusion and go from great to being unable to walk at all, for two months and all usually treatment failed until surgery that I could not afford but had to do, was the only option.

If you read this all, thanks for bothering.

Hope everyone’s backs a feeling great today.

I got a “Kayla” message. Anyone ever email her to try to find out what her scam is? And can’t the account be deleted, or does she just keep remaking it?

I’ll enter, please.

Well, I put stuff up in classifieds. A little afraid selling on Ebay anymore with all the issues, not to mention how much they and paypal take in fees now, but if nothing moves in a couple of weeks, I suppose I won’t have much of choice.

Keeper of the Fledgings

[Azurielle]

Thanks for the input. I’ll probably post a list of the stuff i can/will have to let go in the MP. Not worth selling on Ebay, yet. By the time they, and PP take their cut it’s hardly worth it anymore.

I sent you a message with some info.

I have some links for the most current facebook groups that people are selling BJDs though if you want.

New sculpting and some baby poads. Not grab bags. Just some production ones to go with the old productions ones, like the zeppard poads, or the peach poad.
