Agreed. I wonder how long it will last. Predicting short half-life on sale.

[JotterAddict62]

I would say within 6 hours it will sell now as the word is getting out on FPN.

I already have a Plum pen but no pencil as of yet.

[pajaro]

Gold filled caps too. I felt tempted, although I already have a set with Lustraloy caps. Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.

[FarmBoy]

Thought these were 300 sets.

Live and learn.

 

It is sold so I couldn't go for it.

Gone.

 

Again, with the 14 day return policy a no brainer "gamble".

 

Were it not for the stated return policy though there'd be a bit of an issue for me.

 

AGAIN, yet Another seller who massively flunked Ruler 101. Your bet on what Size that pen is isn't going to be Nearly as sure of one as to what color it is.

 

Yeah, Ok, $156 for a Demi set like that isn't any Bad deal, but it's NOT in the same league of "Sumgai" as snagging a full size Plummer pen that flies totally under the radar for say $75.

 

I just can't quite figure out which is the more moronic move, offering it for a BIN for $150 or not giving a decent measurement. ESPECIALLY, if you know or have heard enough to know Plums are Special, it takes about a whole 45 more seconds to search on past sales of Plum Demi and see the SUBSTANTIAL price difference between it and a full size.

 

I would bet from what little I can see here that this one is a Demi. [EDIT] IF it IS a Demi, I'd say the buyer got if for $50 maybe $75 less than the "going" rate.

I would have bought it if I had not have already bought 2 P51 sets [ live local auction at $87.50 ]; 3 P51's & a Vac [ missing cap ] local estate sale $225 [2 P51's are hot stamped Wisconsin Legislature 1947 (vac) & 1957 (Aero) ] $205 same estate sale two days earlier Ink bottles, desk set, Azure Blue Vac with nice wide cap band & a few other pens. Another Parker counter display case $65 & another Vac for $75 out in the wild. I do not worry about what I spent as I was on stay at home vacation if I did go on a trip I would have spent even more.

I believe this one is a demi set. Looked like it. Even with a couple of flaws, that is a good deal. I have seen a demi set with gold filled caps go near $400. When you are selling this stuff, you can't always think of everything that the specialist will look for. I used to forget some details when I listed stuff in days of yore.
