Where Can I Sell This? Caran D'ache Ivanhoe

[zascar]

Hello,

 

I hope you do not mind this first post but I would really appreciate some advice. I got a present of a Caran D'Ache Ivanhoe Pencil from my old job. its beautiful but wasted on me I'd rather sell it and use the money for something I really need. Can anyone advise me as to what I should do to sell this and get the best price for it?

Ebay maybe. FPN classifieds is very good, but you have to be a member of FPN for 30days and make 30 posts in order to become a gold member, after which you are permitted to post a classified.

 

Other pen marketplaces are the pentrace green board:

That pencil is a thing of beauty; too bad the folks at your old job gave it to someone who doesn't appreciate it. (Not meant as a criticism of you, zascar, just envious and regretful - my old job gave me a cheap ball point pen branded with the company's name. As someone who likes mechanical pencils as much as I like fountain pens, I would have been truly honored to get this Caran d'Ache. )

It is absolutely beautiful - and if it was the rolerball pen I would most likely keep it - however realistically a pen like this I will either loose and feel terrible, or never use just in case I lose it! So better of selling... But how to sell it is the question!

As has been mentioned, either here on this forum, once you get your priviledges, or more easily over on Ebay. You should not expect to get anywhere near a retail price for it, though. If you look on Ebay you will find many of them for sale at retail like prices but if you look at the auctions that are completed and where the pencil actually sold you will find only one in the current search, and it went for $144.

 

The problem is most people do not want pencils - they want fountain pens or even rollerballs to a lesser extent.
