Following - I have a similar set of Dunbar’s (all black), that I rarely play anymore, and I am curious to see how much these will sell for.

Not necessarily a good or bad deal, but a beautiful set of engraved silver Naill's I wanted to share: ...

I am always impressed when people say “those look like Robertsons” or whatever they look like. My guess has been that that comes from years of looking at pipes, but this feels like a good place to...

I am completely onboard with your thoughts Hobgoblin (in the US) / Bagpipes Galore (in the UK) has low-priced delrin (?) pipes if someone needed something to get started with. I started on...

I also came across this set on eBay.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/295140895897?hash=item44b7c4ac99:g:oGoAAOSwN89i7uur

I'm mostly looking to learn from the group - to me, this looks like a cheap set...

For all of your entertainment, I wanted to share what is evidently the greatest pipe-bag ever created....

Avoiding eBay while shopping for pipes is an intelligent decision, in general. That said, OC Richard and a few others on here are fantastic resources for identifying some potentially good...

The reply and pictures I got were pretty useless - any luck yourself?

I would imagine some people either got better responses, know better what they are looking at, or feel this is a safe lottery...

Just a few few places worth checking out for lots of purple tartans:

How is it pleated?

If anyone is looking for bar/bad weather pipes, I stumbled across these
WarMac and Hardie sets.

Rob

That same set has been on Bagpipe Central for ~8-9 months at a higher price, so I would imagine the seller knows what they have, but likely was unhappy that others on eBay weren’t quickly bidding it...

I really like Atherton's pipes. I really dislike the fake ivory and aluminum. I know I should care more about the sound, but I also know he has had both silver and holly sets up, and while I missed...

My parade/bad weather set are Dunbar P1’s. They are nice pipes, but I find them harder to manager than my Naill’s or Kintails. That was a great price though - we have a new member of our band that...

I haven't had time to play on EBay in a while, and I really don't go on Facebook anymore, so both 'for-sale' and 'terrible for-sale' bagpipes slipped my mind. It's like Michael Corleone said, "Just...

These mystery pipes had a really big bid on them that disappeared.... then another big bid or two that also disappeared, so I guess in some ways, the mystery continues to grow.

Others that I know...

Not a bagpipe, but an interesting bagpipe related item for sale on eBay.

I agree - for an imitation ivory, this marbled material has a very nice look to it!

Rob

There is absolutely no reason to be sorry, though I appreciate the sentiment - three people thought those looked like ivory, the seller couldn’t explain more and the pictures he sent weren’t bad, and...

I do know that Grand Rapids Curling is coming back to life, after a "brief" hiatus (and another due to Covid)...

The Kintails came in, and it is sort of a mixed bag - positive, they are in most immaculate and untouched condition, negative - the seller did not do a great job of packaging them and the chanter and...

Actually and interestingly, I bought them.

I had been looking for a unique set, with an eye towards full-silver, but ivory had also been on my list, especially since they are so rare (and...
