I want to consolidate my collection, and sell off 5 or 6 pens that I seldom use. I'm in a rural area in Donegal (Ireland) far from pen clubs, so selling or trading face-to-face isn't an option. Any suggestions for a reputable dealer in the EU who buys pens?

If you’re willing to nip just across the border to Kesh, Strabane, Omagh, or ‘Slash City’ to post your pens to a purchaser, I can think of two well-regarded UK-based eBay sellers who deal in pre-owned pens.

 

I have no personal connection to either of them, apart from often having seen their listings.

 

Their own (outside eBay) websites are:

Izods Pens.

Dylan Stephen pens.


Good luck 👍

Slàinte,

I sold pens to  Izods a few years back and they were a pleasure to deal with.

I’ve sold to (and bought from) Roy at Izods and had no problems.

Please note, I don’t have any personal connection with him or the company.

Doh! I hadn't even thought of that option, posting from the North.

I am glad to have reminded you of the possibility 🙂

Like some of the previous contributors, I warmly recommend Izod Pens, Roy is a gentleman and selling several of my pens was easy and he made it a pleasure.

 

Plus he is very fair on values of the pens!  Could not recommend IZod pens enough.

Hi.

 

 Very interested to read your post.  I am from Co Antrim, and am interested in pens for some time now.   I was really wondering which pens you have for sale.   Occasionally be in Donegal, usually whilst travelling down West. Would be good to meet up with someone with same interest.

 

Regards. John

      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
