I wonder if he/she might not have more luck listing it lower with a $950 reserve price.

No one is going to bid $950 for that chanter (no doubt).

It's a reasonable price for such a chanter (three keys and chanter stop key). BC has a very solid reputation.

This chanter as configured at http://www.bcpipes.com/ would price out new at $1175 and he has lead times of more than a year. Winning bidder will pay $28 in addition to bid for USPS shipping and insurance. Payment in cashier's check or money order only.
Why not? Time is money.

I should have phrased that differently. I have no doubts about BC's craftmanship. I meant that that's a very high starting place for the bidding on the item. So, I meant: "No one is going to start bidding on it for $950."

Hey there, I think Childress sets are very nice. However I have never heard or seen one in real life. How does Childress' quality compare to Gallagher's quality???

And congratulations on doing it the way you did it this time! Looks like you're going to sell it at a good price.
