Why Is Sheaffer So Expensive Now?

Recommended Posts

When I bought my Sheaffer Legacy 1 (842) back in 2008 on ebay, it was around $110 USD brand new. These days, Sheaffer are all around $300 mark on ebay? Why such inflation? Sheaffer stop making pens or something?

Maybe you are just looking at the wrong place. Sheaffer makes pens today that sell at well under the $100.00 mark, even under the $50.00 mark.

Everywhere. Sheaffer 100 or 300 for example.

You can buy directly from the Sheaffer web site or any of a number of other online retailers if you can't find them in a brick and mortar location near you.

I purchased a Sheaffer 100 on Amazon for $35. It has turned out to be one of my favorite pens. Significantly underrated, IMHO.

Plenty of choices for even under 50usd. The 100 and 300 as mentioned are a few. Also Sagaris well under 70usd. Cheapest is the VFM at below 20usd.

Did you not read my OP? I said Legacy 1 used to be $110 when I bought it. Now they are all around $300. Why such high inflation?

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
