The ad counter is “broken” again. It claims there are 98 For Sale ads, but there are only 3 pages of ads. And if you look for ads by a person, you will see their expired ads as well even if it is beyond the 10 days since the ad expired and should have been deleted. At least there aren’t pages of “blank” ads like the last time this happened.
I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of one showing up broken when it had its original box and double boxed. *knocks on wood*
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Dragon61 and I have actually received a broken lap in its fitted box. Apparently if they are not seated perfectly, they can shift and one of the horns snapped off, taking off the upper part of the eyelid. Fortunately, the seller was very nice to work with and Kyrin did an expert job of repairing it. I know there are after and maybe a before photo in one of her recent repair threads.
We have also managed to ship laps successfully without their fitted boxes, one with a damaged tail that sustained no further damage. Our secret is to put a piece of flat cardboard under the lap kind of cut to fit and also a roll of bubble wrap on top of the tail curl to fill in that space and keep the tail from being pushed up as it is wrapped in layers of bubble wrap. Just ask Jinya how well the lap we sold her was wrapped. 🙂
Depends on the piece. “Lunar Mountain” Male Ki-rin went for a bit. More than I paid for all but two of my adult ki-rins…
The off-white cylindrical ones from windstone are made from celulose and will “shrivel up” if they get wet. My local UPS will take some but, being in Phoenix, they can shrink and get hard in the heat. I rotate between several packing places depending on how many peanuts I need to get rid of. The white (or colored) S-shaped ones are definitely synthetic. But check with your recycling center. Some places take them or at least the large pieces of styrofoam. I figure taking them to a packing center might prevent someone from having to buy new ones.
Would love to see them as a gallery or a photobucket album with a link posted here. And of course a message that new photos have been added. Picture-heavy threads are a hassle, even with the lower number of posts per page, on a slow connection.
Um, Hades Eyes are red cabochons without black centers. Now the baby ki-rin Hades has “regular” red eyes, but that is because they didn’t have red glass cabochons small enough. The poad eyes should be big enough to fit the red cabochons so a true ‘Hades-eyed’ poad would have red eyes without the black centers.
Just noticed a bug? with the # of replies count on this thread:

As of 10:37 AM MST (9:37AM PST) both the forum category page and the top say there are 2 replies, but when you scroll down, there are 3 replies.
When I first went to the forum category page, it said 2 replies, but 3 updates, which is what brought it to my attention.
Nothing serious, but just an FYI and a HUH?
That only works until it is sold. Several times I have found a new item in the special catagory already sold before I even knew it was there.
I had dragon61 message her on ebay asking about more pictures. She claimed she couldn’t send them through ebay [ebay now prevents you from sending your email to try and limit outside contact(?), but there is apparently a send picture button] so she added them to the listing. It is now obviously just a white coiled mother. She even shows the bottom which has no signature. We would report it, but the reporting is so automated there is no way for us to do so because these aren’t our listings.
There is at least one name (probably more) in the ‘Ads by Author’ list whose ads have expired but not been deleted. This could be the reason the ad counter is wrong – it is still counting those ads, but not displaying them since they are expired. I just checked and my name is not on the list. When I checked my ad page, they all expired on 11/13. I believe the time from expiration to deletion is the same as the ad stays up (10 days for Sale items?), in which case they should have been deleted on 11/23. (Please don’t manually delete them, I will renew them shortly, but just wanted to leave them so you could see the issue.)
can’t wait to see this year’s card!. And just for you, I will find my box and send one to you (and all the gang there).
Dragonshoard & Dragon61 🙂When I shipped the emperor box to CA for the brown emp, I sent both the inner box and the outer box with packing peanuts between and together it was 5.10 lbs (so says the fedex receipt). So just the inner box with inserts shouldn’t be more than 5 lbs. Hope this helps.
