I've been having the worst luck with this on eBay, so thought I'd ask here. Anyone have a blue Laureat they'd be willing to part with? I hate to go much over $30, but am not beyond negotiation.

Darn! I have 4 near misses:

Laureat in green, red, and brown,
Preface in blue.

Is any of those close enough?
I also have two Man 200: a Gentleman in blue and a Rhapsodie in blue (not in blues, LOL). But for those two, I might ask a tad more than $30.

I bought all these (plus a few more) at the same stationary store in a small town in France, for a song, and my pitch is way off. The interesting thing about this papetrie is they apply an inventory philosophy appropriate to a fromagerie: the minute an item ceases to be current, it is drastically discounted. And they carry the whole Sanford (Waterman + Parker) lines.

I am not beyond selling you the address for a mere $495.00.

Good luck in your quest,

-Gerard

Gerard:

If you're done with the original post-er, would you mind contacting me about the Laureats that remain available? If you've got a picture I might be interested. I've been snooping about for a tortoise-finish one to replace a long-lost, but haven't had any luck either.

PM or respond here if you're amenable, thanks!

How much is a tad?

Finalidid, I'll still hold out for a blue one for now. ^_~

Thanks for the offers, tho, Gyv!

Still searching. Blue or green is OK, and I'm willing to go a bit higher on the price, so please LMK if you have one you'd be willing to part with. Thanks!

They may have what you're looking for. I'm not affiliated, I just ran across the site while drooling at things I can't have, and remembered your thread here, so I thought I'd share the info. Best!

Found one. Thanks! ^__^
