Resale Prices For Graf Von Faber-Castell Pen Of The Year
PetarK posted a topic in Other Brands - Europe
Hello all, Does anyone know typical resale prices for the Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year series? I've been looking at these pens for a while now and I found many people saying the PotY does not hold it's value well. From that I was they should sell for less than retail price when they come up for auction on eBay. I am interested in the first few years of the PotY models but specifically the 2006 mammoth irovy model. I found some records from about three years ago when a couple PotY 2006 pens were sold at "bricks and mortar" auction houses and they were valued at the time between $800-$1200 and sold for between $1000-$1100. What I see on eBay doesn't follow that and I usually see them for more than orignal retail price. I was hoping the great pen afficianados in FPN could help me find the real prices that I should watch out for. Thanks, Petar -
Graf Von Faber-Castel Pen Of The Year Collection
trickydicky posted a topic in Other Brands - Europe
Hi all For those fans of the annual Pen of the Year, I have put together a little video of my "completed" collection (5 pens and 2 cufflinks). The box is also Graf, which has a second tray under for the other 5 pens. Next year there will be a total of 11 pens once the 2013 has been issued - time for a new box, as this one won't be big enough - that was clever of them, wasn't it!!! These pens are my favourites of the 10 that have been released thus far - I don't intend to buy any of the other 5 pens other than perhaps the 2012 gold (a little blingy notwithstanding). I would be interested in people's opinions of my selection - a couple of years ago opinions were canvassed and I recall many people liking the amber and jade... Can't do a review of the pens, as I have not written with them, so sorry 'bout that! Hope you find it interesting to see these great pens close up. Jim
