The forum had a large upgrade several years ago where all of our personal PM’s, galleries, and many more things were wiped from existence for a long time and that included the ebay galleries. Some threads even got wiped out but many were eventually restored although some have show their old school compatibility issues and glitches. You will see tiny font and then HUGE ENORMOUS font in places, but for the most part they’re readable. Susie always meant to put the galleries back in at some point but I think that task got thrown to the wayside after a while. She’s only one person after all. Artist galleries were eventually added but they were never really fully completed. Melody’s, Patricia’s and Brandi’s are probably the most complete. It’s possible the information or photos from before hand were lost in the upgrade and then combined with moving their physical locations from California to Oregon I think may have also contributed to the lack of old photos of pieces from Helen Mishkin, Jennifer Miller, and Olimpia Carpia.
Sometimes you strike lucky on a google search if you know what you’re looking for.
I thought it might have had something to do with the forum update!
Wonder if Windstone has a (text) list of past Ebay pieces… I’m sure I’m not the only forum member with a bunch of pictures lurking on their hard drive; if there was a list, we might be able to come up with pics for a lot of the list, to save some Windstone history!

What a great wolf pack, Bodine!
But it looks like there’s a changeling in the family… Or else the rebellious teenager has dyed his hair to annoy his parents! 🙂

It’s been a few months and I have made some purchases, so I’m revising my list!
1. Blue Morpho Female Griffin
2. Blue Morpho Hatching Emperor, or Scratching Dragon
3. GB Lady Cat in classic brown tabby – this is what my older kitty looks like, and I would love to have a little Windstone portrait of him!
4. GB Sitting Red Fox in a medium/dark pewter-grey
5.

Congrats! What a great find.
And I know what you mean – a lot of the Old Green Emps seem to have way more purple shading than the other pieces in Old Green I’ve seen. It always looks so nice! I hope you will post pictures of your guy so we can all enjoy him vicariously. 🙂

Seconding GardenNinja.
I goofed and ordered a different color than I meant to for a PYO once, and I mailed them back to Susie with a self-addressed stamped envelope and a note saying which color I needed. She sent me the right eyes very quickly!

What a pretty Appy. Love the little touches of blue in her mane and tail; it’s such a nice accent color!

All this talk of Labradorite pieces made me nostalgic, and I went browsing through the Ebay Gallery… so many pieces seem to be missing! Did Windstone lose their older photos during the move, maybe? Or did something else happen?

You’ve done a phenomenal job of all this, drag0nfeathers!
I hope a bunch of the missing pieces turn up in the second storage unit, or elsewhere. If the Silver Koi Kirin is the one I’m thinking of, I’ve been in love with him since Melody first posted him on Elfwood (man, talk about a blast from the past! I still miss that site) back in the day. I remember the Genet Griffins being very nice pieces, too, so it would be neat to see them! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that one more trove will turn up. 🙂

Hahahaha, I was just coming here to post a photo of that sticker, and ask… 🙂

The Secret Keeper looks like it’s wearing lipstick! 🙂
Love the striped Griffin chick and the pale Mother Coiled (is that one of the Silver Jade test pieces? Or another color?), and even the yellow-edged Male is oddly handsome!

LOL – the grails often do appear in bunches (or so it seems).
At the moment I’m waiting for a Rising Spectral in “Stone” and a white Chalice flion. Someplace on Facebook Melody said that they would produce Chalice as a white lion, so I’ve got my fingers crossed!
They definitely do! I can go two years without getting wind of one, and then three people will PM in the same month. 🙂
I am really hoping for a blue test paint Lap to come my way next! My “rainbow” is a little thin in the blue section, and there haven’t been any blue schemes coming up on Ebay so finding an older test paint is my only hope.
And also I just love blue Windstones, Production ones included, hence wishing for Blue Morpho griffins and OWS to be restocked! <3

Keeper Congas are extra fun because they all have different treasures! I love seeing what each dragon has chosen to keep close. 🙂

What an incredible collection, Dragon_Hoarder!
Love the Winter Ash and Blackwatch OWs, of course, 🙂 but who is the pale one in the first pic? He’s very handsome!
The peacock-y Secret Keeper is incredible!
Your shelves look very sturdy – and I love how they’re lit, so each piece has some “spotlight” and space to shine. (We may claim to be Windstone fans around here, but it’s hard to be a Windstone fan without also being a Good Strong Shelf fan, haha!)

Witch Hazel is a nice green! Looks kind of like a Gold x Emerald hybrid, with the lighter green and the purple shading similar to the shading on the Gold dragons.

Adding to what others have said. 🙂 This was a production piece, and it’s the most common version rather than the “stripy” variation that’s harder to find. A mint one would probably go for $100 – $130. The griffins are very prone to damage on their forefeet, though, so it’s hard to find an intact one but there are plenty of damaged ones out there. He could still be worth $50 – $60, depending on how clean he is (caked-on dust, cigarette or other odors would lower the value) and whether there’s more damage (in the photo I see just the toe chip, but I can’t tell if his wings/ears/base are okay).
Editing to add: If you sell him online, make sure you’re familiar with safe Windstone shipping practices. They are very fragile, and should be packed firmly into a box and then that box should be nested inside another box, fully cushioned on all sides. It generally costs $20-50 just to ship a piece of this size safely (depending, of course, on the distance involved), so be aware of this if you’re thinking of offering him in the Classifieds here or on Ebay!
