At the time of this post, this Clarke Original in C (NEW!) was listed at $4,812.00. I notified the seller and they acknowledged but it's still the same price today...

Oops, I should have made that plural. Apparently there are 2 available!

And if you live in Maine, be prepared to pay an extra $240 in sales tax...

The price may appear high, but you can see for yourself that it's being sold by The Queen of All Fulfillment.

By golly, I'm gonna buy me that whistle! He only has 2 left in stock so I'm hoping I don't get my order in too late. If all goes well, I'll let you guys know how it plays. Better than a regular old Clarke C I bet!

Wish me luck,

Will, in your dealings with this seller I might suggest you don't refer to her as a "he," unless you know something about him/her that we don't know. You see she's the QUEEN of All Fulfillment.

WHAT THE . . .??? I was all set to purchase the whistle when I read the "fine print" buried at the bottom of the page. This gal actually thinks I'm going to pay $4 for shipping??? Who does she think she's dealing with anyway? Forget it, Missy!! You just lost a sale.

I have a couple of those that i'd let go for $3,000 apiece (you pay shipping of course at these prices).

I didn't think it was that good a deal until I read this:

R E L A X !
ALL PACKAGES ARE INSURED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER
AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.
AND MY SHIPPING RATES ARE STILL THE LOWEST AROUND.
COMBINE ON SHIPPING AND SAVE

I sent an email to the Queen of All Fulfillment and asked if it was a typo - just got a reply: "Yes, we do have a typo." No clarification about what the typo was, however, so we'll have to see if the price goes down...or up!

this is how payment is accepted:

PAYMENT
I accept credit cards through PayPal ( account = emporium.galorium@verizon.net )
or you may confirm by email and mail check, money order or well-concealed cash

after I buy it, I'm going to see how far the $4812 gets when I choose the "well-concealed cash" option.

Oh, and did you also see? There is financing available!! Only $201 a month!! :roll:
