All I want for Christmas is a taxidermied Unicorn...

Post by Cynic »

Wanna buy a killed and stuffed Unicorn for christmas?

write-up under spoiler
***I AM MOVING AND WOULD NOT LIKE TO MOVE THIS SWEET BABY!
MAKE ME A REASONABLE OFFER AND LET'S MAKE A DEAL!

Here at last is a REAL - mounted Unicorn!

This magnificent creature is a ONE-OF-A-KIND custom taxidermy creation!

***PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AND TERMS OF SALE, and also please go to the link I provide for you to see many more detailed photographs of this item! If you buy, I want you to be sure that you know EXACTLY what you are getting. PLEASE ask ANY questions if you have them. I am HAPPY to email you detailed, high resolution photographs of this item upon request!

SIZE: This unicorn measures 30 inches from tip of his horn to tip of his tail. He (it is a he) stands 18 inches tall at the crest of his neck.

This is a CUSTOM mounted white unicorn. His horn sparkles with the shimmer of little rainbows from the inside out! His mane and tail blow softly in the breeze! He is attached to a base so that he will stand securely and not tip over. He was made from a baby lamb that died of natural causes shortly after birth. I crafted the piece into the likeness of a unicorn. No animal was killed for the purpose of making this mount.

Please copy and paste this web link into your browser so that you may see multiple photos of this item. I took several pictures in the sun before attaching him to the base. You can see both on base and off, but he will be coming to you ON his base and attached to it:

The price for this unicorn is: $975.00.USD
***Shipping will be: $120.00
I have compared shipping with the 3 major carriers and FEDEX is the cheapest, ground. Included in the shipping cost is my cost for shipping materials. This unicorn will be packed carefully and securely and is insured for full value. Due to the value, FEDEX will require a signature upon delivery.

This unicorn is put together to be sturdy, but all taxidermy should be considered fragile. He will be packed well for shipment.

RETURNS: I cannot accept a return on this item due to the fragile nature of taxidermy pieces. This unicorn will be packed for a ONE WAY trip! This gorgeous little creature will be fully insured, so that if he gets damaged in shipment, you will be able to get your money back. This should be considered a collectible - he's a one of a kind!

The horn... it sparkles. Edward, you've got a competitor now.

Daddy, why are you coming at my unicorn with a sword in hand while I hold him in my lap. :cry: :cry:

PS: next D&D game I play, I want to be a taxidermist who mounts and stuffs all his kills. It'll be fun!

You know, I'd love to have a taxidermied unicorn in my house... but none of these my little pony bullshit poses and styles... I want a fucking clydesdale with a porpose tooth on it's forehead in a heraldic Rampant position standing against the wall across from the front door.

"NO animal was killed for the purpose of this mount! As a lamb, this little one never took a breath, but here she is, beautifully crafted into a mystical, magical REAL UNICORN! She is mounted on a pretty base, which is shown in the photos."

So this is made from a lamb either killed at birth or killed in the womb.

Can we talk about abortion-baby unicorn? I think that's politically incorrect :snark: :-D

Yes, abortion foes count dead fetuses unless they're carried to term.

Stillborn lambs are not uncommon.
