MB Agatha Christie & Imperial Dragon

[niksch]

At the risk of incurring wrath from Pen Nut (just teasing), I would like to ask about potential values of both the MB Imperial Dragon and the Agatha Christie WE/LEs.  My usual source is rather wanting tonight.

At the last pen show I was able to attend, the Washington/Baltimore International last year, the vendor was seeking $1,800 for an Agatha in the box.  I have no idea if it sold by the end of the show.  Two or three years before, the same vendor was unwilling to pay me $1,000 wholesale for one, without box.

Not sure about the Imperial Dragon, but the prices on the Agatha do seem to be rising steadily. In the last couple of years pricing seemed all over the place with as much as €2.500 being asked and €3.500 for the goldy one with different eyes. Asking isn't the same as getting though. It would seem now that getting an Agatha for anything less than €1000 would be considered a steal.

😀They have to make their money somehow. Selling pens to dealers is probably a depressive deed🙂

Oh, it was a vendor to vendor trade and cash transaction, had it happened.

I see. I used to think Agatha Christie could be had for $1,200 but apparently this is very out-dated price now 😉
