Is this a good price or what?

Philip

It's a spectacularly good LeBoeuf -- the color is outstanding, and LeBoeuf is a rare and highly desirable brand. My one LeBoeuf is good, but the one on eBay appears better. I think that price isn't too far out of line, but I hope the ultimate buyer has a replacement nib or knows a good retipper.


This one is mine.

Wow. I guess this one is for the true collector. I can't imagine being enticed for even a fraction of the price

Well it was the messed up nib coupled with the price that caught my attention. And no I am not in the bidding for this one but as I had read about LeBoeuf I was interested to see what they would go for.

Not a common color, though (IMO) not one of the more dramatic ones. It is also not the largest size which, combined with the damaged nib, makes me think the closing price is fairly high. I collect quite a few LeBoeufs, and usually top out at this size, but haven't paid anywhere near that price for any of mine.

The pearly cream and brown one, 3rd from the right, looks pretty nice.

Seems buyer got a fair deal. Retipping is not too expensive.

Ahhhh, but this is the truth of most collecting. We like what we like
