i prefer the brass, but hey… a burke for $130 is worth getting (i’ve already got one :slight_smile:

happy bidding,
eric

I am a fan of the aluminum, but I don’t know if I trust this person. There is no picture, and the feedback is only 7. But when I looked at the feedback, I didn’t see any. It might just be my computer or ebay messing up for right now, but I would still be wary.

I think the feedback comments only go back 12 months, so it probably means that the seller has had few if any transactions in the last year.

Yes, the only worry is that since they haven’t done any eBaying in the last year, that they won’t be fast to ship, and then you have to wait 14 days to even start filing a case, another 7 for them to respond, and eventually a month later you have your $$$ back.
Now, for $50, it might be worth the risk…

Actually, it turns out that the guy is from this forum too. https://forums.chiffandfipple.com/t/ebay-burke-fred-rose-m-e-whistles-flutes-7-22-done/71678/1

Actually, no. Not so much FROM this forum, as also USING it as an additional venue to sell (those are the only messages, regarding that whistle and other items). Which means nothing, one way or the other.

If you look at their earlier eBay feedback ( http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=gaaah361&ftab=AllFeedback ) that is in the ALL Feedback tab, you’ll see the feedback they received as a buyer back to 2004.

I just bought a couple of whistles from him. I made payment and he got the whistles in the mail the same day. I received them the other day and they are in great condition just as described.

If you have any doubts or have questions you should contact him through eBay or his Chiff and Fipple persona capnjosh. He was friendly enough in the couple of messages we traded.

Thanks to that last poster for clarifying the credibility of this seller.

With Paypal buyer protection, I think this sale is worth the plunge at $130 for an Excellent condition Burke whistle.
