As a regular Ebay seller and buyer, I see that Red Flag beginning to rise a bit with feedback under 100. Many Ebay sellers have feedback over 10,000.
But as I said it wasn’t that alone, but that combined with other Red Flag factors.
For sure I’ve bought things from people with feedback under 100, in cases where their listing seems reassuringly legit in every other way.
In any case here’s a Copeland for rather under $1,000

I’m one of Sindt mentions here. I prefer the Sindt to MC or PO and own each. Apples and oranges for sure.
Pricing seems to be the focus, but, what about value? Value for the buck.

AYE MATES,
That is a whole lot of pennies for 4 “penny whistles”.

When I have to, at a gig, talk about the instrument I’m playing, I’ll say something like
“This is called a Tinwhistle, or a Pennywhistle. It’s called that because it’s made of aluminum and cost $300.”

I play a wooden whistle that looks like a recorder. I feel this pain.

It would be worth all those pennies if one became a better whistler.
Sorry to say, not even all the Copelands in the world, nor a hefty pricetag will make us play better.
I’m the owner of a high D brass Copeland whistle that I haven’t played for ten years, due to the fact
that I don’t like it much.
Perhaps I should sell it for a truckload of pennies?
