I've been watching for a while. I have a small collection of Vacs and I'm familiar with Vacs in the $100 to $200 range. My lack of knowledge prevents me from finding an explanation for the higher price. (I've tried to word this gently)

 

I would like to be enlightened on this since my knowledge of Vacs needs to be improved.

Dear Tom,

 

Past summer, I sold one same to one French collector with $444 + shipment.

 

Firstly I put the pen to Fountain Pen Network as Maxima.

One interested collector advertised me that this might be Oversize.

I requested help from dear Isaacson, he advertised that this is one Parker Vacumatic Oversize - Pre-Maxima and better than Maxima.- .

I tried to sell in Fountain Pen Network then I put them in eBay and I sold.

 

By the time, you can see more information on Parker Vacumatic in http://www.(bleep).com/.

 

Now, as everybody can see I am trying to sell some items in Fountain Pen Network and I am reducing continually prices so that I could see what will be.

I am seeing that, general intent is to find cheaper writing instruments than they woth.

If one item worth $100 for example, and if I sell at $80, maybe I can sell or, I can receive too some $50 offers from interested pen lovers. - All offers are dear for me and I try to accept if it is possible.-

 

The general intent is not to buy one item that worth $100 with $100 or $90 but to buy with possibly cheap price.

Maybe because of general economical difficulty.

 

I reduced the price of this item too as my other items too much and I will continue again as one kind reverse auction and I will finish after some time, if I will see that this selling via continual reduction is meaningless.

 

Very best regards,

Savas

How come the price keeps going up and down between $340 and $345 ????? :unsure:

I've purchased a few pens from Savas and I can recommend him for sure. The pens he has sent have taken less time to get to me in the US than pens sent to me from Canada! Not sure why, but that's been my experience. :)

      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
