To give you an example, I wanted the baby kirin. Everytime I tried for one, he went over $100. At one point, someone posted on ebay a damaged baby kirin with the mother kirin in great condition. I got both for 71$, including shipping, because the baby was damaged (actually, he needed plaster surgery). The mother was really in mint condition, just dirty. I’d never be able to get her at that price on her own. Only the fact that the baby was in such bad condition allowed me to get them. So you never know!

So jealious! Those are two on my list. There’sa BIN baby for $99, but I don’t have that much money right now. Maybe I’ll luck into something like that. 😀

Chips decrease the value a little, but not too much. Are you familiar with Astral Castle? They have a list of almost every Windstone ever, and they have the original sale prices. Most retired pieces sell for a little over that price, a few sell for a LOT over that price, but mother dragons are VERY common, they’re probably the most common Windstone ever, so they tend to be fairly cheap. I’ve bought one for $10, though that was a real steal! It was chipped and needed quite a bit of TLC too, and it was mis-listed, a search for “Windstone” didn’t turn it up, I found it while looking through other dragons. But anyhow, if you keep watching, you should be able to pick up a mother for somewhat less than list price, and if you’re willing to regularly search through the bazillion ugly dragons on ebay you may find one even cheaper, though enough of us do that that even those do get some bids.

(Ooops, I should include the astral castle link, shoudln’t I? http://www.astralcastle.com/windstone/wsframe.htm )

Thanks!
How much is “faily cheap”? There’s one for $60 plus shipping, with a couple chips. I think she’s peacock.

i do have that website bookmarked, thank you. It’s taking me a while to get through all the pix and really try to get them all straight in my head haha.

I’ve been eyeing eBay for a few days, and looking for my first painted piece. I’ve noticed some with chips and whatnots, which don’t really bother me that much, but I’m wondering, how much does it decrease thier value? The one’s I’m looking at the most(seems like theyare faily common too) is the mama peacock, and the green mama. I want a scratching one too, but alas, they seem to be worth more than I have now. I really shoulnd’t be looking, I’m broke, but you know… 🙄

Ok, another question. Does anyone know where there’s a basic dragon that can be downloaded that looks siimilar to these, to “color in”. I work well from reference, and would feel better doodling and seeing what my peice looks like before I go and paint it all up and it turns out like crap 😯 haha

[bluepony78]

I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not terribly talented and creative. I draw stick figures, and only paint horses from pictures. Since I can’t really run to the store and buy the Ultimate Dragon Book(….or can I? haha).

SO, how do you get your inspriation? I bought an orange eyes dragon, because I was thinking maybe an orange and purple theme? Maybe some blue? I donno. I want something intresting, but I’m not terribly creative. I looked at tons of pix, and I am totally amazed with some of the critters folks have painted. Not only do people have some SERIOUS talant, some folks are REALLY good at color schemes.

Ok. That’s all my rambling. Just wondering. THanks!

Yes…be prepared to sell random stuff around the house….

Our house is pretty bare, I already did that when I got really heavy into model horses 😯

I bought my first little critter!! I bought a PYO with orange eyes. I was looking through all kinds of pix last night on here, and I came to the desicion that I can’t afford some of the ones I REALLY want, but I can afford $30 to try to make something realy wicked someone else might want 😀 SO, we’ll see I suppose!

Thanks for the warm welcome too!

Haha!
I’m watching sevearl of them on eBay. I seem to be drawn to the mother dragons. I like the white, but that seems to be the one that I’ll be getting last 😕 haha.

I actually paint horses for a living, so hopefully, I’ll sell some critters and have some money for some new critters!! Hope the dragons don’t eat the horses 😛

[bluepony78]

😀 Hey all! I’m a new collector, and am looking to add my first peice(s). I’m mostly looking for dragons, will consider pegasus and mouse wizards and who knows what else 😉 I don’t have a lot of extra money, so if you have one that’s super duper rare, it’s probalby not in my price range 😆 Thanks!
