What price would you pay for a coloured J with a 2668 nib in very good condition?
Thanks for your views.

Fully Restored in red $60

Good original, working condition and restored all other colors except black $40 to $50

Unspecified or non-working condition all colors including black $20 to $25

On ebay unspecified or "needs restoration" $15 or less

Obviously if it's somebody you trust pay more and if it's a gamble understand that one persons "very good condition" is another persons parts pen. For a restoration candidate J I try to pay under $25 with shipping for a good solid pen from a good solid seller I've paid up to $60.

I purchased a nice green J from Fred Krinke (a really nice and helpful dealer) at Fountain Pen Shop in Monrovia, in great condition and ready to go, for $25.00. He also has a selection of nibs. I also bought a #9000 series nib of my choice. I saw he had copper and grey transitional Js, and some others as well, but don't remember.
My range on Ebay has been from $10 to $26 recently, both for colored Js, with #1000 series nibs.
Best,
