Seeking Pen Intermediary In Washington, D.c. Metro Area To Sell Pens

Recommended Posts

Hi, my first post to the site. I've moved into the FPN hesitantly because I really don't know anything about a subject that I see many others are quite passionate about. I'm looking to sell some pens and I don't really have any idea what I have so I'm seeking what I've seen referred to as an "intermediary." I've posted to the regional site because I would like to show the pens to a prospective intermediary in person (if possible) so we can negotiate a contract, discuss whether the prospective intermediary has prior experience serving as middle man, I can hand over the pens (assuming we reach a deal), etc...

 

If anyone is interested, I could meet at a location of your choosing anywhere near the route between Germantown, MD and Stafford, VA as I work in both locations during the week. If you are farther afield, perhaps we could meet somewhere in between? Here is a link to some pictures (pasted below). The the pictures aren't very good - yet another area where some help would be appreciated! I have quite a few additional pens, but my hunch is that the pens for which I've posted pictures are the most valuable.

Lastly, if anyone is simply interested in providing advice on how the such a seller-intermediary relationship shold proceed, I'm all ears. For example, is there a ballpark/standard "cut" for the intermediary?

 

Sincerely,

Mike

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
