O'Riordan G Whistle for sale on eBay

Having read the commercial policies, I think this it is inside the guidelines to refer to an eBay auction – if not please let me know. I regretably have to sell my O’Riordan G whistle. I need the money and since all my other instruments are Burkes, it’s easier for me to have all from one maker. As you likely know, Pat O’Riordan has closed his waiting list, so this could be an unusual opportunity. It’s a great instrument and I hate to part with it, but my student loans dictate otherwise. If you are interested, please check eBay Item number: 7410800882. You can E-mail me at jeizx@aol.com, but please do not reply here. I want it to go to a good home, so I would love to see someone from the C&F community have it.

I’m bidding!!

heh heh heh…feeling lucky, punk?

This could get ugly…look out!

You’re just lucky I’m buying shop tools right now Parky, that’s all I’ve got to say. :laughing:

Loren

All of you are lucky I’m in college and dirt poor.

Dude, you don’t know what poor is: Try living in a 2 door VW, with a 70lb German Shepherd for 6 months, then come back and talk about poor.

College is a freakin’ vacation.

Loren

When I was growing up, we lived in a shoebox, on the floor of a lake, and every day we had to go out and scrub the lakebed for 23 hours a day for sixpence a year. Father would come home and beat us with a log, feed us some gravel, and all 15 of us would then go to bed inside the shoebox. And we were grateful for what we had, let me tell you…

I tell ya, the bidding over this one is gonna get legendary…

Dave

At least you had a box. All we had was a shoe. And mom did not know what to do…

…and the dirt was so poor, we had to go spread fertilizer around the telephone poles before we could speak over the wires…

(apologies to Tom Paley)

I’ll just sit back and watch this one; I already hace a Low G Traveler. If this is a Traveler, I can tell you that it (the G) IMHO is the class of an overall great line of whistles. Good luck guys.

Two days on eBay and already up to $275… this is gonna get big-dog hairy.
Aw come on Loren, blow your savings and enter the fray. :stuck_out_tongue: I’m gearing up for my daughter’s wedding so money at this point has no meaning for me…mainly because I seem to be out of it frequently. Ellen (wife) forced me to buy a new suit for it and all I could think was “there goes a Rose, a Copeland and a Burke”. Can’t understand why she got so upset when I offered to wear my kilt to the wedding.
If bidding gets to what I think it will, this fellow won’t have to sweat much (financially) next semester. Wonder if he has an Eammon Cotter flute he doesn’t need?

aiiieee… $280… the pace is picking up. Anyone wanna bet it’ll top $500?
Dave

Not gonna happen. I would, however, fight ya for a Cotter flute, should the opportunity arise :smiling_imp:

Loren

Yeah, I could see that as a real bidding slugfest… whoever was selling it could retire early! :smiley:

Luxury.

Hi guys, just thought I would jump in, as I have been after a decent low G.
Two 0’riordans sold on ebay just over a week ago one was a high D and the other was a low D, They looked the same as the G up for grabs on ebay, only smaller in the case of the high D and bigger in the low D, but the seller listed them as O’REARDANS AND NOT O’RIORDANS,the low D went for $ 280 and the high D went for $ 378, so maybe the low G HAS FOUND ITS PRICE???, oh yes I know I am hoping, I will be there watching if not bidding, unLess it goes for well under tHE $ 500 MARK.

I’d be willing to bet it breaks the $300 mark…
Dave

I bet it goes for more than $500. Maybe more than that.

I have a feeling you may be right on the $500 +, so many days left, so little dollars to spend. From all the reviews I have read O’riardans are
fantastic whistles, if there was no waiting time what would it cost to buy one, concert or traveller.
