FYI perhaps the pennywhistle is worth a few pennies

The O’Riordan high D Traveller aluminum whistle is definitely a very sought after whistle that is no longer made. I too was aghast at the initial offering bid and out of my budget. I believe the opening bid was about double what the original cost was directly from Patrick O’Riordan back in the day. I didn’t purchase a Traveller whistle from Patrick. I play with several whistlers that do own Traveller whistles and know first hand how flawless the design and sound is as the whistles play beautifully. I’m just waiting to win the lottery so I can get bidding on these masterpieces of whistles.

If I were you, I’d seriously offer your friend like $475 or something for his Traveller! ))

They are not giving up their O’Riordan whistles and it is good to see the whistles in use and being played regularly. I’ve already made offers and I just get laughed at.
