Montblanc 163 Rollerball - Value/price?

[monochromejournal]

I'm new to FPN and have been lurking for a while. I love the collegiality and knowledge/experience that is so freely shared around here.

 

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so please redirect me if it is not.

 

I was given a Montblanc rollerball 163 pen (black with gold accents) a number of years ago but never really used it (so it's in mint condition) and now I'm thinking about selling it (it is too small for me). I'm not sure how much this pen is worth on the used market? I checked eb*y and the prices range from $115-300 ?!?!?!?

 

Any guidance or suggestions on how to narrow down a price range that I should ask would be much appreciated. It is in mint condition, includes a barely used black fine point refill and the original box, case and paperwork. It is an authentic pen made in germany.

 

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

I would say $150-$200 or so, depending on condition. Maybe less...I have one as a back up to let people borrow when I carry my FP. I don't use it much if any. Since they are are still being produced, they are not that rare.

If you look at recent Ebay auctions where Montblanc 163 rollerballs in mint condition actually sold, and where there is no evidence of posible shill bidding, the price range is in the $65 to $100 range.

 

What you might do is put it up for sale on this website with a slightly too high price of say $115 and see what happens. You will likely get an offer or two from someone. You might actually get that much, or you might get a lower counter-offer and then you bargain and come to a price you both can agree to.

Thanks for that suggestion, I'm relatively new to trading pens online and tend to avoid using ebay and forgot about their closed auction search function.
