Pelikan M150 For $75 U.s. - Is My Ad In Classifieds Reasonably Priced?

Recommended Posts

Too late, I realized I should have enquired here, first, before posting an ad to sell my like-new Pelikan M150.

I would appreciate your help in determining whether to leave my ad as it stands or delete it (if possible) and re-list it at an even lower price?

Recently I have returned to FPN after a few years of busyness and am not current with all protocols here. Hopefully I am not overstepping any rules by posing this question.

I look forward to your replies.

For German prices that is E$10-15 too much. I bought one in a German Antique store for E35 I believe last fall.

Prices go from E22, 35, 53-60.Those were 4 were sold.

 

There were many not Sold,these seven, E30-35,40,-60-70-80 and some one wished real hard at 100 and was politely ignored.

The U.S. prices on these range from $50-100 at auction. The higher end of that range is usually for new, boxed items. Based on your description, I'd say you're in the ballpark. These are probably best priced at $65 if you want it to move.

Thank you for your help. I will change the price to $65 as you suggest. It's a nice little pen but I don't use it and hope it will find a home with someone who will really appreciate and enjoy it.

Regards

When I bought mine, I got it on ebay from a UK seller and it was 35 GBP before shipping - that was last spring. I think after the currency conversion after shipping was $50-55. I think your shipping price may be a bit steep @ $8-14 for US shipping. Not sure I paid that much from the UK.

I sent pyotrkot a message late Friday night offering to buy it but haven't heard back yet. :(

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
