I Need A Suggested Or Firm Value On A Used Montblanc Boheme Black Resin Fountain Pen


DocMulkey

Recommended Posts

The pen is used but is a 9/10 on condition all the paper is correct, and is being sold by a reputable dealer of the brand. The seller is taking bids on eBay so I would like to know a value because I would like to win. There are some suggestions tagged to the post from a website called PicClick.com. Does anyone know how legit there stats are. Any help is greatly appreciated

I don't know the answer but have you checked eBay for similar pens?

Check for sold items on eBay. It's a search option.

 

You can find out how much people actually paid for this pen in past eBay transactions.

Yea and the black and ruby stone Boheme's are going for middle $500's to low $600's and the sapphire are 800-1200he what I'm not trying to do there are 16 watchers and 13 days left on the auction and as of now 0 bids the pen is $460 buy it now or best offer. Of course I'm wanting to go much lower than 460 and worse case pay asking price but I also don't want to draw first blood and some get trigger happy and jack the price up past 460 . Because it doesn't make good sense to go higher in my opinion than 550 worst case 600 because I get get a brand new one from Montblanc for 720 so I just don't know which way to go

Fountain pen hospital is a great authorized dealer.

Bryant at Chatterley luxuries is also good to talk with.

eBay auctions sometimes turn into feeding frenzies and bidding wars...

Thanks I emailed Bryant, can I give him your name as the person who referred me to him?

Sure thing.

Tell him your friends at the fountain pen network did. Bryant is outstanding. He will treat you well.

Always better to buy from a specialist when new to the brand. eBay can be a good resource but you have to know what you are looking for.

Sounds on the high end. I would keep checking our marketplace and see what shows up. If I recall I bought my first MB, a Boheme noir for $250 off the marketplace here. I think you should be able to find one under $400 if you continue to look.

      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
