I'm looking at this auction, and I have zero idea why the price is why it is?

Waterman Taperites, no tapers. I don't see anything of crazy value, but just consistent table filler pens. Yes after they are fixed up and polished alot of ~$200 pens. Unless the vacummatics are something I don't know... I need to learn my vacs, because I have no idea if I am looking at a $100 vac or a $800 vac.

The lot should at least sell for $25 per pen, maybe up to $35 per pen.

 

That is all I would pay for at a local live auction.

I'm with you.

 

If you were to buy, its a ton of work if you're trying to make money. I think a newer collector to the hobby would find great joy in a lot like this.

That is what I just did a few weeks ago at a local auction. Check out my post

Parker Auction Picks For 10-11-14 In Se Wi

 

These pens were sold as choice and my average price per pen was $27.14

 

I am always learning what to pay for the pens at a wholesale price...

 

I will be cleaning all my pens that I have picked up this past summer this winter..

Closed at $660. JotterAddict62 had it pretty well nailed -- $35 per pen.

Yes Ruth, Now if this was an auction for choice of pens I would have bought the P51's & Vac's for $35 each and

the big Duofold then I would have tried for the other Duofold & the P51 pencil at $25 each.

I am not verse in the other pens and would have passed on them. [ Need to learn more ]

 

Ruth I've learned a whole lot at the local auctions in the pass 3 - 4 yrs here in Parker country [ Rock & Walworth county

here in Wisconsin ] on what people will pay. You can pick up Sheaffers for about 10 - 20 dollars each or if your really

lucky you can pick up 3-5 pens for about $20. You just never know.

 

The only reason I did not bid on the lot is that I did not want to over pay for pens I did not want

and try to recoup what I spent. If I did bid I would have went as high $375 - 400 .

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
