Sometimes I am just amazed at people's offers for pens
Permalink Closed

I had a few pens up for sale and had put up what I thought were reasonable prices.  most of the offers I received were reasonable but there was one that was just screw ball insane.


I had two pens for sale at a total estimated price of $2290 and someone offered $800 for both.

How do you handle a schmuck like that!biggrin

actually if that was the best offer the pens go into storage.  

As I might want to get rid of these two but I don't want to throw that much money out the window.

The good thing about hobbyists like us is we do not HAVE to sell pens right away
(At least, I hope not -unless really strapped for cash!)!

Like Kurt said, put them in storage!
They will be worth more a year or two down the road!

It's not ripe produce! Someone will eventually buy the pen!

The pens were a Delta Enrico Caruso 1K ( gold & lever filler) as well a Titanium grey Waterman Serenite...


On further though I think the guy was just being an ass but no matter as I just sold the one pen for almost what was the offer for the two and am trading the other pen for......


wait for it.......


A delta Venezia! This is the one pen that has been on my desire list for a decade or so and I have only seen 3 of them come up for sale.

Actually it's on my don't need to look at any other pens ever list.


So in the end good triumphs!
