I won’t claim to be an expert, but they look legit to me. I have a male dragon that looks just like the one you have posted. Some of the older green ones are more of a forest green and olive green color with more brown on them. I think that it’s really neat looking and realistic in person. Some of the really old ones don’t appear to be as neatly painted.
Hmm…
We had a store like that where I live. One day they told me that they weren’t going to sell Windstones anymore because they weren’t selling very many of them. The amazing thing was that there was another store in the same mall with higher prices that had no problem selling them. I think that the main difference was their strategies though. The first store basically told me that they would order what they believed their customers wanted, but would not listen to me when I told them what I wanted. The second store, however, was always willing to order whatever you wanted for you. I still order the Windstones I want through them.
I believe the last dark striped one went for well over $400.00. Many people seem to like the bolder striped ones better, but I’m not sure why anyone would bid that much for one. I personally like the lighter colored one that I have better than the dark striped ones.
Hmm…
It’s crossed my mind that one of my local retailers had a ruby oriental sun dragon and a ruby old warrior. If they still have them, and there’s a good chance that they might, I could get one of those for you. However, these would be in new condition. The only dragons that I have that are in need of repair aren’t any of the ones on your list. Let me know if any of these interest you.
Lol, I remember when I first bid on a peacock oriental sun dragon. I was outbid in the last few minutes. It was also very frustrating because it went for $262.00 and I didn’t have nearly that much money for it. It was bidding on this piece that discouraged me for awhile until Windstone started putting out some limited productions as BIN.
Are you looking for ones that you are planning to repaint or do you have any preferances for colors at all. At the moment, I have an emerald fledgling with a small chip on his ear that I have repaired. I might be able to get ahold of other peices such as a ruby oriental sun dragon or put a bid on an old warrior. I’m just trying to get a feel for what you would like.
I know how you feel. We I first got an account on Ebay and tried to win any kind of Windstone, I was always outbid, usually by a lot. It took awhile before I was able to figure out a strategy to win anything. It happens, it just requires a lot of patience.
On another note, is there anything in particular that you are looking for? I might be will to do a trade for a PYO if you would like.
Wow! That’s an incredible paint job! I really wish I could paint mine like that. I really can’t see anything wrong with it. Very nice!
Sorry for the late response. I get off of work pretty late.
From what I can recall, I believe that the mother was around $75 and the father was around $120. This is from my memory though, so you just may want to call them and ask.
Just FYI,
One of my local retailers, Vacuum and Dragons (719)268-1388, still has an entire family of the white pegasuses. They all look to be in mint condition. They also still have a some of the recently retired peacock and rainbow peices and haven’t raised their prices on them yet. I just wanted to let you know in case anyone might be interested.
