New M600 White Tortoise Price?

Recommended Posts

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.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
