Here's how it works. I am reluctant to ever sell my hard work for lower prices. I don't like not getting paid what I feel I'm worth. But I do like getting shiny, beautiful things! (It's my draconic side, I suspect.) So I am usually happy to trade fursuits, plushes, and other custom artwork for any of the shiny objects I'm currently collecting. I will trade twice the value of a given object, effectively making this a half price deal for you, however I reserve the right to determine value myself. Nearly all of the time the price you paid for it will be the value of the object, but I don't want to get penalized because you overpaid for something that's not actually worth very much. Just have to put that little caveat in there to keep that from happening. Generally it's a good idea to contact me before going out and purchasing an item to trade. Here's a list of what I'm after at the moment.
Gemstone Spheres
I am seeking a variety of gemstone spheres. I am mostly looking for spheres 30mm and up, smaller ones are generally too easy for me to find for it to be worth my while trading for them. I will try and keep this section updated, but please contact me before buying a sphere to trade, as my want list may not be completely current.
Kyanite
Seraphinite
Malachite
Opal
Boulder opal (Waaaaaaaaaaaaant so much!)
Ruby in zoisite
Sapphire (in matrix or otherwise, particularly after star sapphire spheres.)
Pyrite with quartz in. (I'm picky about this one, I need one that has a certain look to it.)
Ruby and kyanite in fuschite
Kyanite and fuschite
Kyanite and garnet in fuschite
Amethyst (REALLY want a shiva eye or a good chevron amethyst sphere.)
Carnelian (Another one where I'm picky about the individual specimen.)
Meteorite (Etched metallic metorite spheres particularly, ZOMGWANT!!!!)
Garnet
Pietersite (another one where I'm VERY picky, most pietersite spheres being sold are junk.)
Fossils
I like fossils. This is just sort of... fossils in general. If you have a fossil, drop me a line, we can probably make a deal. If you're going to go out and buy something to trade, you should probably go look at the spheres up above, or the Windstones, down below. But I'm particularly fond of trilobites, ammonites, anything opalised, and teeth/claws of things.
Windstone Editions Statues
I am trying to finish off my collection. I even have links here, so you can go and buy stuff.
Fledgling dragons in emerald peacock, silver, or red fire.
Poads in any color except butternut, which I already have.
OOAK Windstones. Anything OOAK/limited edition being sold by the Windstone Editions official ebay sales account! Also ANY Secret Keeper, OOAK/limited or not. I will make a full suit, with unlimited options, in return for ANY Secret Keeper dragon bought direct from Windstone Editions. (I would say "any Secret Keeper at all" except a few sellers have been putting up scams where other statues are sold as Secret Keepers, or where they're pretending to sell a statue that they do not actually own.)
Mountain Boy My Little Ponies
I really want to own the whole set of these. It's a childhood nostalgia thing. I currently have one, so I'm looking for the remaining five. Here's some info on them, with photos, if you're not familiar with them.
Ice Crystal
Sunburst
Thundercloud
Lightning
Tornado
