Who Sells Where?

[Aislingean]

Hello folks !
After a long absence I am back for a while as I am wanting to clear out all the dozens of pens sittting in my collection boxes.
I am keeping my BHR favourites but everything else will go.
I have looked in the classified section and see virtually no Parkers and wonder why?
I have a Consort Insignia 65 some 51 vacs in need of work,, a nice Thuya lacquer 75 and a 180 also in Thuya
A 75 pen and pencil in tortoise shell lacquer, a couple of 61s including a rainbow cap and loads more.
If I were to sell classified It would take ages and if Parkers are no longer popular on there what would I achieve except loads of work
On line auctions are nowadays hampered by who sees what as country visibility is restricted and international shipping is so very expensive and fraught with problems.
So who sells where pray tell?
Cheers

Dave
P.S. I used to load images via the bucket but they now want to charge me so if anyone has a decent way to load images please tell

So why don't you go to the Classified and sell there?

 

You'll be unique.

[JotterAddict62]

Maybe why no Parkers in the classifieds is that they sell fast. ??

[Chrissy]

Try the Classifieds and upload images via the Upload tab.

I think the crowd here likes modern pens more so than vintage Parkers.

Having just now taken a trawl through the Classifieds and found Vacs and the odd striped Duofold and the odd 51 and excellent Parkers (as usual) offered and sold by Barrie Parker, I wouldn't say there's no business being done in vintage Parkers.

 

It may be that all those modern pens weren't what the seller really wanted, but hey, when it's a vintage Parker you'll need to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

You maybe correct in your statement. However I may break a finger or two selling parts to FarmBoy. [ Still recovering from 2016 ]

I only sell through personal contact, people I’ve done nib work for, and the occasional classified. I watch eBay closely and can tell you that Parker’s are hot right now, especially well buffed and refurbished Duofolds and P-51’s. Prices are the highest I’ve seen to date.

The market is fickled though. Prices could drop tomorrow and not pick up again until the holiday gift giving season.

To load images, I use Imgur.

[Aislingean]

I am told that IMGBB may work so here is a test
Apologies if I am infringing any rules but I tried with the bucket and got a message to say it was now prohibited

[Aislingean]

That did not work as I hoped so I will try again as I am again getting a you are not allowed message

[Aislingean]

This was to be the IMGUR suggestion but still getting the prohibited notice
Will someone please explain to this geriatric exactly how you can get an image to show in a post or comment the way they used to.
Seems all online hosting sites are prohibited!

There is a detailed tutorial on using the "Upload" tab here:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/blog/2/entry-22-the-images-upload-tab-what-is-it-how-to-use-it/

 

It is not very intuitive but it works.

Thank you for the heads up!

I will have to down size all my pictures but this system does work as the picture shows.

Is there anyway to use web hosted pictures and post thumbnails the way we used to ????

I like that Parker Consort Insignia 65.

[baz666]

I don't see a Consort Insignia, the all rolled gold P65 is a regular Insignia, 1/10 12Ct rolled gold.

 

Would like to ask the OP, what is the pen on the far right?

[Aislingean]

So do I !

It is a good user that shows well with good plating but there are some barely visible dings that take the grading down a little.

I presume you are referring to the French made pen which is a Plexor made by the French Parker Licensee who whilst making Duofolds made their own versions. That is an aluminium button filler under the blind cap.

I had a duofold nib in it for a while but have reverted to the Plexor nib

I bought that in 2008 and posted on this forum

They appear on here every now and then

What is the second and third pen from the left in that picture? I like the starburst finish

[carlos.q]

Thank you for the heads up!I will have to down size all my pictures....

The limit using the Upload tab is 2mb per picture which translates to very large images. Please remember that not everyone has access to high speed internet and 15mb pictures are a pain to load.
