Where are the decent pipes for sale on ebay?

Post by BigDavy »

I have been browsing on ebay for pipes, as is my wont, and for the last week there has been nothing worth posting here - everything on ebay UK/US/IE/AU is either Pakistani or the Bagpipes Galore practice set.

Is the credit crunch making people hold onto thier sets?

Davy - more pipes you don't need. :wink:

Seriously though, wait for the January credit card bill to arrive, then you'll start seeing all sorts of stuff on eBay.

Hi PJ

Yep, you are right, I don't need any more pipes (at least not after the C and C# chanters arrive). I am keeping an eye out for my whistle player. However if a nice deal comes up on a flat set, I will likely be all over it.

As to the January credit card bill effect -that got me the De Keyser set in Bb with added Van Daal chanter this year and the Charles Roberts B half set 2 years ago.

Perhaps people have realised that selling pipes on Ebay is rather like dipping diamonds in pig manure.

Hmmmm.

So where do you reckon a seller should place his (or her) pipes when
selling them?
Here? Messr D'Arcys site?

IMHO, E-bay is too much of a minefield for buying or selling pipes. I've had very good luck both buying and selling through Mr. D'Arcy's classified ads.

Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

Double ditto. Plus, just for using Mr. D'Arcy's service, every Christmas you get a hamper full of potted meats and marmalade :D
