Thank you, Everyone, for your feedback and helpful advice in this matter!
My problem has actually been resolved by DAZ Customer Support directly, which I said I was going to do.
I have purchased what I was looking for (The Bone Dragon) and 100% legally from this Website. I'm very happy! :D
I highly recommend customer support through DAZ if you have problems, because the support staff here are actually pretty decent and fast about resolving their issues -- even ones such as retired products <---- if it is in their power to do so.
I originally started this post to see if there was anyway to purchase the item legally from the vendor themselves, but when I didn't find the answers here - I figured that it couldn't hurt to simply ask DAZ themselves. And I did.
And they deilvered with no issues whatsoever.
I'm not certain that every retired product is in their power to sell privately - due to intellectual rights, copyrights, and possibly very old, incompatible, or problematic products, PA discrepancies and whatnot so I don't want to say that DAZ can always say "yes" if you have a similar request. However, the worst they could have said to me would have been, "No," and I would have been forced to use the Skeleton Dragon (which is okay, but not what I had originally envisioned inside of my comic).
I paid full price for the Bone Dragon, but believe me - it's worth every penny that I paid.
As soon as I'm paid again, I will be investing in Sequestrian's Bone Dragon Add-On Spikes. <--- I'm so broke right now that I'm wincing at every awesome March Madness item on sale here this week, until the 15th... (Cue Darth Vader wuss out moment: NOOOO!!!!!)
Finally,
@Vaskania - THANK YOU for the ShareCG link regarding the pose files of the Bone Dragon. These will be very useful and time-saving when I go to place the monster in my next chapter.
Yes, this worked for me. Thank you, Kerya!
By the way: I don't know whether you are using Poser or DazStudio

(I know, both ended up in the Poser part of sharecg - but one is for DS (includes a studio optimized mat file for the default textures), one is for Poser.)
@ Kenrya,
Thank You!
Because DAZ3D Studio tends to accept both Poser pose files and optimized DAZ pose files, I have actually downloaded both, Keyra - I'll put the DAZ pose file in the runtime first, but if the Poser one says that I have a duplicate file, then I'll just skip using the Poser version. <--- surprisingly -- since I am still learning DAZ semantics, it's nice to see that many so Poser posable figures can be used in DAZ Studio as well, just not the shaders and the lighting.
I DO have Poser 8 at home, which I've used twice 7 years ago with little success of how to get anything to work even after switching off inverse kinematics to gain control of my models sort of.. Then, I purchased a manual that was thicker than my Tabler's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary from nursing school and twice as difficult to read) and still couldn't figure out it's completely user-unfriendly interface, so I scrapped ever using that program again.<--- Not sure if Poser allows DAZ files into it's library just as easily (maybe that's what the DSON importer is for???)
Meh - it doesn't matter about Poser for me personally. I've sworn off Smith & Micro software entirely after they gave me a rack of crap while trying to deactivate one of my two user licences from my Manga Studio 5.05 EX program. I needed to transfer the licence from my obsolete and dismantled laptop that had died in order to reinstall the program over to my new Dell -OFFLINE- Workstation. I never could do that - their support was terrible, and the troubleshooting resolutions that they offered never worked.
As a result, I have to use DAZ and my Adobe Suite on one computer, and when all of my comic pages are completed - I have to transfer files to a slave drive - upload them on my other laptop with Manga Studio and complete my word bubbles and then move my files back over to my workstation again in order to finish everything...
Talk about frustration! <--- yeah, I'm ranting. Some people adore Poser and can make gorgeous things with it, meanwhile some don't and can't. I fall into that latter group unfortunately.
So happy you got it worked out! I find customer service to be very helpful, they've always tried their best to make things right. Hey, maybe they can train the web programmers to get the sales working faster...
Hi there,
I had intended to purchase the bone dragon but then when I went looking for it, it was delisted on DAZ3D. I've done multiple searches trying to find it legally elsewhere but no luck. So from what you wrote you contacted DAZ 3D support and they let you purchase it even though it wasn't still listed? Will try that route if that's the case.
@EmotionalOutlet,
Yes! I was allowed to. You will pay full price (no sales) for The Bone Dragon, which I personally considered a 'convenience fee' for DAZ anyway, so I didn't mind. But if you have not done so, please do try asking. They were very polite and receptive.
I would have asked DAZ first, but the support page recommends search/asking the forum for answers first to see if a similar problem had been resolved here.
@Novica,
They were! Thank You!
LOL!
I wouldn't knock the web programmers though... I think they do a pretty fantastic job - nothing I could do, and I dual majored in college in Graphic Design and Digital Media with web design (and nursing... and creative writing... You know, I had absolutely no direction in college, but at least I earned three degrees with a lifetime of debt to boast about).
