He’s a beauty! Since I won your last nights auction I may be a bit prejudiced though. He is a beauty and I love your work. Again thank you for putting that piece up. Can’t wait to get him! 😀

Ha Ha no snow here yet! Yes! Couldn’t get out of my driveway last year to even get to the road. The guy across the road dug me out with his backhoe! Yeah Joe! Thank you buddy, now can you do the road too? All the way to my job? :shrug: So I can get to work.

It was 1954 I was almost 4 and I got my first doll for Christmas always 1 gift and my uncle made me a wooden rocking bed to put her in. That was a great thing getting 2 presents. That was the last Christmas my father was with us.

Yea she is back! Congrats to you and the new hubby.
An of coarse how are my two Suns doing? If I get lucky here they will have mated
while visiting your house and had a baby! That would be cool! Blue,Silver and Gold Sun child.
Oh well, wish full thinking. Thanks again Kyrin for even attempting to fix them. You have my permission to show them off here if you want. The before and after 😉 with Doctor Kyrin should be quite interesting.
I do miss my babies. With all the selling I am doing on eBay I may not have much left.
But would never had sold them anyway.That would be like selling my Dark Point O.W.
Never going to happen! But then I said that about my O.W.Red Lavernder Leaf that just got sold. Well I can’t take them with me when I go anyway but I was– going to try. Later Kyrin. I just dropped in to say Best Wishes with all my :hi: heart.windstonefan

I think you should edit your previous post. The general consensus on the other thread was that there was just a misunderstanding. Someone even mentioned that sometimes typed text can seem like an insult when it isn’t. However, this previous post may put things even worse out of context than it already is. You’re going through a heck of a lot of stress right now, and while I understand what is going on, most of the other forum members don’t. I know you’re upset, but I think the best thing to do is step away for now, get some rest and calm down, and come back to selling when you feel better. You know I’m always available to vent to so you don’t have to do it here and be misunderstood okay?
Done! But: For whomever is without sin let them be the one to cast the first stone. squeek*

The Goof Up I think was, his eyes sockets needed to be filled in. I think was a error in the mold
if I remember correctly. But I will look for the page. (save everything)
Okay I got it now. Melody was experimenting with there eyes. She said his eyes were weird. He has a wall-eyed expression .She filled in the lids with epoxy putty and setting the eye around that left a gap around the inside corners. So then she tried filling that with white glue and says the results are what you see here!
I liked the results. I think most people do. But I could be wrong. But still I just love his colors.windstonefan

Hi everyone, I want all to know that these will be my hardest things to let go of.
But one must do what one must do. I currently have auctions that are running under
my eBay name poodlesforyou. All things sold so far are Windstones. So check my feedback
there and check with those here that have purchased from me. An know this, I package as if
these pieces were gold. I will try and post pictures of these but if I cannot I will try to have a
friend do this for me. Let me stress that these are just as the day I got them. All boxes and paper
work and sometime I save the auction printout about the piece.1st First piece Old Warrior Goof up number 10# no longer for sale.
Done by my my favorite artist Melody.
2 nd piece Pink Pearl Lap with changing eyes number 1# no longer for sale. whoops Sold 580.00
Done by Olimpia and the only one in existence.
3 rd Tuxedo Father Dragon he is a test paint. Sold for $360.00
Done by Melody to look like a tuxedo cat.
The only one in existence.
Make offers to me by email here. The highest bid closest to or more than what these cost me
gets the piece. With in reason please. Or they do not go at all. These are up for offers one week only. These are not up on eBay.
I wanted to offer them here first. As I will not pull a auction once it has started. I may not list these on eBay at all. This is very hard for me to do as it is. I take Pay Pal as payment ship Fed Ex Fully insured and if you do not want the piece once you get it. (can’t imagine that happening) :shrug: Just send it back for a full refund–but- minus all the shipping costs. Thank you.
Thank you all for looking. Even if you don’t buy them. I have other pieces I can sell instead if need be.I guess the sale is over now thank you all for everything.

Hi Poems, and thank you for the advice. I have had far to many dealings with the post office when buying off of eBay myself. They always deny the claim saying improper packaging. The sad thing is they were right. I lost almost every time. Now you must file a claim through the site on line. An that takes even longer. The buyer must wait and wait. I really prefer not to use them at all.
Now Fed Ex is my usual shipper. I pass along my savings to the buyer. I like doing that. I have had one thing break with them and that piece is up for auction right now. Nene Thomas Faerie of Black Cats. Sold for 350.00 and a week later I had a check for 370.00 the cost for shipping and insurance. All refunded. Even a fairy in her box is a hard one to ship. But yet I entrusted the USPS with some of these. Because they are not expensive. Other wise no way. My Poads went out shipped that way. But the Poads are a little tougher piece.
I did work this out with the buyer. I am not a careless packager. I shake the box after I package it too. If it does not move inside,it is good to go.
You are right though one must do what one must do. These Windstone pieces up right now are a sacrifice I had to make. 😥 There may be yet more to come. Then it will be 😥 🙁 The attic is cleared out of Windstones stored. The ones up now were in my china cabinets with the Poads. I still have most my favorites here for now. I think if I can get a friend to help me post pictures here I will offer the Artist done Editions to forum members here first. I have three others right now that another member is dabbling on buying from me. Maybe my other friend will help me.
Everyone that reads this realize these will be very hard for me to let go of. 😥 Only a true collector will know this. Thank you all kindly for answering me and all of your help. :yes:windstonefan
Sway wrote:0 feedback doesn’t mean what it use to. Ebay keeps changing rules and regulations, constantly. So, if you haven’t used your account in over 6-12 months (hey, not all of us are into ebay, or not as much as we use to be at least), the latest rule has ebay dropping your score (ours was a perfect 100%) to zero. A while ago they had done that with the transactions number (the buys or sales that decide what colour star you are). Had you been inactive for a while, they dropped you to zero. However, since, they have reinstated the old number. But now our feedback is zero which means anyone would have to take the time to go into our profile to read about us and decide for themselves. Ebay is a stinker much of the time.[/quote
Yes they are. 🙂 I actually have two accounts a buyer. An this was my buyer account. I turned it into my seller account because of a dishonest buyer. She burned me three times and was a non paying bidder. They let her do that to me even when she never paid. Said to send them for free or she would burn me. Boy did she ever. 🙄 It took me a year to prove all the nasty emails she had sent me. There were over 55 eBay got tired of reading them!They finally removed that feedback but that account as a seller was destroyed. I have no rating there. So poodlesforyou is now my seller account. Not that I am a seller. I just have allot on my plate right now. An sometimes you have to do things –that you don’t want to. An let go of the things that you love. 😥

Awe thank you. I try to do my best even though I usually will have them packed and ready to go I sometimes have to repack to give buyers a break on the shipping. I love Windstones. I never want them to break. It makes me cry. I am serious on that. But this was a member here. But when I mentioned the forum–that is when it got worked out. I just said if you are a forum member just ask them,I know some have bought from me on eBay before and mentioned a few names. Allot of forum members have the same eBay name.
See that was what bothered me. :shrug: I cannot in good conceince insure for a larger amount than it was sold for. But after three emails from me we worked it out. I just think she thought I was one of those eBay sellers that plain just do not give a care how the item arrives to you. I care!windstonefan
Thank you Laurie for your help. I was able to work this out with the buyer after a few emails. He will go Fed Ex as he is packaged. He is in his own box then a huge box packed with Windstone peanuts. So all is well. 😀
Just wanted to thank you once again.Quote:The truth will set you free
windstonefan
Thank you. I just did not want to take him out of the original box. Or insure for more than she paid yep that is what bothered me most. I work retail and they do not give you back more than you paid for a item. I think that is what bothered me most. Cannot do that–told her so. She hasn’t payed yet anyway. I sent her a bill with the cheapest shipping already (before this email yesterday in fact)and it was Fed Ex and explained the lowered shipping price. They have broken nothing so far. But if she wants a revised bill. I guess I can do that.
