Proper Asking Price For 1970's Parker 75?

[ndrwcn]

In my desk I found a Parker 75, silver crosshatch/cisele with gold clip, xf nib, chrome ring without the zero mark, with the original converter and in excellent condition.

It is a great pen... But I am not using it and want it to be appreciated. What would be a good price to ask?

I plan on posting it for sale on this site.

I should add that it is a dish top, not a flat top cap. That is how I determined its year.

I don't know as to what should be a good price but I got one of the same specifications for $75 a month or so ago. You can read this thread for more information.

It should sell quickly at $75. You could probably ask and get $95 or more and still sell it without any problem. If the nib is broad or italic, it could bring even more. I consider the original CC to be an asset as well. It might take longer to sell at $150 but you could probably get that price too.

I'd submit that even dirty models have been selling for around $90 on the auction site, so if it's clean and working perfectly it's probably worth at least $100 and potentially more.

You can always lower a price if it doesn't sell, but nobody's going to offer more, and there's no bidding here.

Thank you for your advice on this, the pen did sell quickly at $100. While I could have asked for more, at $100 I think I made someone's day and was able to fund purchasing what I am writing with far more often than I used the Parker, a Franklin Christoph Pocket 66.
