ok, i think this is maybe the last one i’ll do for awhile… i am really spending too much time on ebay lately. :stuck_out_tongue:

anway, here’s some stuff on ebay; i’m not the seller, just letting the rest of you with WHoA know what’s out there. :slight_smile:

in order of soon-to-be gone:

Chieftan GOLD Penny Tin Irish Whistle High D
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330408428848&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1182

so there are a couple of these, if you go to this page and click on “see other items” you’ll get them all: a D, Bb, A, G, and F. no guarantee though, but “gold”, i think they mean brass, but there’s no photos so buyer beware…

There are also at least three Copelands and one O’Riordan (high D starting at $1000).

Need that whistle stimulus package…

Best wishes.

YOW! What a starting price on the O’Riordan. At that rate, maybe I ought to thin the herd!

Thanks TW for posting the ebay stuff. I always look too, but you’ve taken the time to consolidate it all for us.

Come on now, $1,000 for a high D? Can any maker’s whistle play $990 better than a Gen or Feadog? Sorry, just in grumpy mood this AM…

And then there’s this…

Isn’t e-Bay fun?

Best wishes.

You won’t get it if you don’t ask for it…

I’ve done the same thing recently on eBay with a rare baseball glove. You hate to part w/ something, but need the money, so you price it high enough to ease the pain of losing it. In my case, nobody bought the glove, so I still own it and the person who offered a fraction of it’s value doesn’t. I only wish I had a Copeland to sell (all my whistles are in the Gen/Feadog price range and eBay is flooded w/ those).
