O'Riordan whistle for sale
Thought some fellow chiffers may be interested in a post over on the Facebook low whistle page...Someone was gifted a whistle made by Pat and has it for sale at a firm $400 US...Good price for such a whistle....It will be snapped up fairly quickly I'd imagine...I'm not clever enough to post a link.

I'm guessing it's long gone... But how do you join the group? I put in a request 4 days ago, and nobody approved it. :/

Yeah, I messaged him to see how he was making out with the sale....he sold it that day and said he had many replies...I'm not surprised...I just requested to join...I'm not sure how long I had to wait though.

I've still never made it into the group.
On a side note... The guy who bought it seems to be reselling it on eBay. For $800.

Re: O'Riordan whistle for sale
Glad to hear it! I'm all for catching a good deal and reselling for a profit, but there's a point where it just seems more like gouging. Although I can't say I might not be willing to pay an exorbitant price for a rare whistle, if the timing were right...

Re: O'Riordan whistle for sale
My mistake... Since the other was posted on the low Whistle page, I had assumed it was a low D. I never did get approved for membership so I hadn't seen the for sale post. O'Riordans are so rarely for sale, I thought someone was trying to "flip" it and turn a hefty profit.
