Alain Froment on Ebay

Could be an exciting finish! Will the set go to the US, Ireland, UK, France, or Japan?

Now at GBP 5,850.00 (Reserve not met) (Approx. US $11,315.95) with 3 days 11 hours to go.

HOLY sh*t! THATS A LOT OF MONEY!!!

I only hope that a real piper gets it and not someone who poses around with them. I'm out on this set

Excuse my technological ignorance but how do you find the thread about these pipes on the pipeshow link?

There is a discussion forum (all in French), URL in BZH29's note above (2nd); details about the Reserve are in one of the notes (in English).

Me: "Honey, can I borrow our house payments for the next undetermined amount of months/years so I can buy a great set of upipes?"

She Who Must Be Obeyed: "Sure, dear. No problem. Are they big enough to live in?"

Me: "Never mind."

SWMBO: "That's what I thought, dear. Now put the checkbook back on the table so I can find a new hiding place for it."

Count yourself lucky, Brianc. At least you can talk to your wife about buying pipes. Touchy subject round here. :roll:
