It’s a super weird listing. The first picture is a picture of another listing. (It has the listing title underneath it in the picture.) The first picture looks like a fake to me because of how smooth it is, like especially the tail. It doesn’t seem to have any of the same detailing as the one in the second picture.
The second picture on the eBay listing might be of a real one.

It definitely helps to get a bit more familiar with things before buying something that only seems rare because you don’t know which pieces actually are rare or not yet.
And I wouldn’t believe any listing just because it has “rare” in the title (even though this one didn’t). Sellers on various marketplaces are very dishonest. I have seen them put “extremely rare, hard to find” in the title of items that are currently in stock in the Windstone store.
Another thing that can be helpful sometimes in seeing if an item is rare or determining pricing is to search for it on eBay and then tick “sold items” in the filters.
Doing that for the cat gargoyle actually turns up the original listing that the one you bought has a picture of. That one sold for $76, and it actually has a picture of the pad, so maybe that one wasn’t a fake after all?

[blockquote]Just curious if there’s any certainty that any of the given test paints will go into production.[/blockquote]
On the eBay listings for Atlantis test paints, they did say they were planning to do that as a production color, with gold instead of copper.

I’m signed up for “informed delivery” with USPS. It allows me to see all my incoming mail and packages on the USPS website. I can see the tracking number for items from the Windstone store there as soon as the label gets printed.

I have the lovely koi qi-lin #155 up for sale or trade. The current offer is $675.
Things I’m most interested in for trades are in my signature. I’m also open to other GB/TPs (probably not hoofers/poads/cats).

Seconding that the new system worked great and I’m looking forward to the class photos! 🙂

That’s actually why I’m going to Corvallis! I have my eye on one of those guys, and I hope nobody snatches him up before Saturday. 😀
I love Gargoyle’s Statuary in Seattle. They have so many neat figurines (including Windstones!). I was hoping a similar store like that existed, maybe in Portland or something, but I haven’t been able to find one.
I checked the stores listed as Windstone dealers on the site, too, but most of them seem to be more of the type of stores that have rocks/books/herbs, which isn’t quite what I’m looking for. Or they’re way off to the west like in Astoria or something.

It must have just been down temporarily. I see that it’s working again now. Thanks!

It looks like the site hosting the lists is down?

Was there a test paint of the bantam dragon in pastel rainbow?
I doubt it. The “Pastel Rainbow” test paints were sold at the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018. The Kickstarter for the Bantam dragons was in April 2020 and I’m quite sure that was the first time Bantams were available. Some of the Kickstarter bantams were painted in “Pastel Rainbow” type colors but they weren’t called “Pastel Rainbow”.
If you want to double check, these are the ebay auction picture threads for 2017 and 2018:
Thanks! I like the test paint version of pastel rainbow better than production, but it sounds like there wouldn’t have been a bantam.

I realize that the legion of fans for “Solar Eclipse” and “Onyx Moonstone” will not agree with this! Those colors have sold very well for Windstone and Gina does a great job painting them.
Having said that – I used to say that “Anything looks good with black” but I have changed my mind. In my opinion, antiquing with color (having color between the black scales) does not look good with black.
It’s a case-by-case basis for me. Some of the SEs and OMs work for me and some don’t. The SE secret keeper is the best SK I’ve ever seen.
The problem I have is I like more colorful dragons, but I keep buying “black with other color” ones because they look so good. But then I have a bunch of black dragons when I really want colorful ones.
I’ve got two black gold and one each of silver (intense black), BVP, SE, and OM. Just means I need to get more other ones to balance them out, right? 😀

Ah, okay. There’s usually only a few ads a day, so it seemed strange for 30 of them to get reposted on the same day.
