I have three pens currently on eBay. I tried to sell the Parker set here in the MP some months ago, but alas no takers. I was planning on keeping it a bit longer, but a fellow FPNer and I have agreed upon a price for a pen (you know who you are), and as it's so close to the holidays, I'm trying to keep the purchase invisible from the better half... not that I'd get in trouble or anything. Seriously, I have accumulated a few duplicates (as reflected on the other pens I have here in the MP and some I don't), that I need to trade or otherwise dispose of before I can justify in my own mind that it's O.K. - of course that will change when another ideal pen appears!!

Well, here are the current listings for those who may be interested.

Parker - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...E:IT&ih=005

I'm getting a bit nervous as the bids are currently so low, but I do appreciate the encouragement from the folks in the MB forum. Now as for the Parker Vac set... That set may get pulled. Between acquiring it and having it restored, I'm a bit on the jittery side. Such a nice set, too. The color is so nice on this one...

Well, thanks again to those who encouraged me to keep the pens up. I hope you're right!

I wouldn't worry too much about the bid prices. The pens look like fine examples and you have several bidders for each one. Most of the bidding will probably take place in the last two minutes of the auction.
