Hello. This is a thread for people who are extremely bored. I want to buy a Demonstrator M200, but I'd like someone(s) to help me find the lowest possible price on the planet. Used is fine. Also, does anyone have any experience with this pen? How does it write? Thanks a lot!

I use Waterman Phileas fountain pens to create drawings for my website www.TwelveDrawings.com Through my several years of buying, I have watched these wonderful pens creep up and up in price. I hear that back in France, they were strictly a school student's pen. In America, they once sold at Staples for about $20. When I bought my first one at Staples (2011) it was up to $50. I bought two more as gifts. One day, I dropped my pen (nib down onto concrete) and went back to Staples for another. The clerk said the pens were no longer made and suggested I check eBay. At that time (maybe 2012), new Phileas fountain pens were going for $70-90 on eBay. Online retail stores were listing the discontinued pens at $99+. Today, a quick check of eBay shows several black Phileas pens with an "Buy It Now" price of almost $200. The highest priced ones are black pens owned by speculators willing to wait for the market to come to them. Less costly items are typically used, out-of-box, an unusual color, or a Kultur. I have the pens I need and won't be buying any more unless I see a great buy on a new-in-the-box Phileas. If you know such a source, please share. Do you think this $20 pen is really worth paying triple digit prices? And why? Because it's THAT good? Because they are not made any more? Because you might resell it for a profit in the future? I'm okay with all three reasons.... maybe you have another one. — twelvedrawings.com

Vintage Ivory Pen/pencil Set And Questions
ColeWardell posted a topic in It Writes, But It Is Not A Fountain Pen ....
I've been lucky enough to own a lovely old ivory set with both a nib holder and lead holder. I'm interested in selling it, but I have no idea where to start pricing it... there's no signature or identifying marks (other than the lovely engravings!). I would guess early 20th century, but I don't have much expertise to know more than that. Does anyone have an idea of who could help me identify and price this set? Thanks much in advance! -
Why Is The Sheaffer Legacy Heritage Priced Lower Than Sheaffer Valor
jeremiahk posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Hey guys, I'm interested in Sheaffer pens and I was looking at the inlaid pens. Particularly the flagship Legacy Heritage and Valor. I noticed that most online stores price the Legacy Heritage much lower than the Valor. I'm curious as to why the Valor is not priced lower. That is the price of the Valor is fixed at $295. I can't find a lower priced Valor, but the Legacy Heritage can be found for $248. What maked the Valor so expensive compared to the flagship which can be gotten for a much lower price, though it official price is around $315-340. Thank you- 15 replies
