Hi all, I've been reading the forum for quite some time and decided to make my first post here.

 

I would like to let go of my "as new as it gets" pelikan m600 white tortoise with a fine nib that has only been inked once and i am struggling to find a price guide for it on the classified section. Does $375 seem outrageous for such a pen with complete box and papers? The pen is just so beautiful i can't bare to use it!

From what I've seen from regularly watching eBay and other sales sites, I think your asking price is fair. I would certainly start there and you can always consider lowering it if you don't get any traction. Beautiful pen, sorry you have to part with it. Good luck with your sale.

Try listing it here in Classifieds first, as you will get more reasonable offers than if you tried eBay or a local used goods site. I've also had decent success selling more inexpensive pens on the subreddit /r/Pen_Swap, but I'd be more iffy doing business with such a valuable pen.

 

I wish you luck in selling your pen and I also hope you use the funds to buy a pen that you're ready to use everyday (if that's what you're in to, of course!).

thanks a lot on all the valuable inputs! i do wish to get a m800 or 600 in green stripes after selling this pen off. i feel much more at ease to use a normal production pen (if that makes sense at all)

Think really carefully before you let it go. The green 600 and 800 will probably always be available either used or new and you may come to regret letting the tortoise out of your hands. Good luck either way. vinper

+ 1. I use my White Tortoise as an everyday writer. It is a beautiful pen and maybe the more use it the more comfortable you will become with it.

      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

      @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
