The Visconti Kakadu LE has only been produced in a very limited number of 100 pens in the Australian market only. I am purchasing the last one which is the 100/100 model number. I was wondering if 650 dollars excluding shipping is too much for such a pen? Apparently it's only been inked twice in its lifetime. I've scoured the forums to find out as much information on prior purchases and I've seen the pen sold twice once for 375 and once for 450. I should note that the pens sold prior were in 2008 and 2010. As of 2016, maybe there is price inflation due to how more exclusive the pen is now. Should I back out of this deal? Please note I only have a single day to decide as if already sent the money and the pen won't be shipped until Monday. I hope someone can offer me their help. Here is the link to the seller's classified post. Note it is not public for commenting this seems like a red flag to me. I've never really purchased a limited edition pen before so I would like to hear from someone before asking the buyer to renegotiate the buying price. Thank you all. EDIT: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/classifieds/item/42087-visconti-kakadu-limited-edition/ All positive feedback, he is definitely legit, no doubt about that. I just want your opinion on the price. =)

Hey! My name's Calvin, and I'm just getting into fountain pens! I'm 18, and I've been lurking for months in the community. Not here so much, but on JetPens, CultPens, Goulet (most of all), YouTube, etc. I just stumbled across my grandpa's old aerometric Parker 51 and his Snorkel Sentinel... about an hour after I bought 2 bottles of ink and an Edison Nouveau Premier. Anyway, I'm excited to get into this! I've written with fountain pens a little bit and I absolutely love them. I love smooth writing stuff. I use 4B lead in my pencils, and I look forward to some nice smooth nibs! And also... how do I post an ad in the classifieds? I can't seem to figure it out. I'm sure I'm just being stupid, but this is a serious question. I have a Rotring 600 Gold to sell and want to post an ad here... but I'm too much of a dunce to figure it out! Where's the "Post new ad" button?! Thanks, have a great day!!!

I am looking to put up for sale a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Classique Pen and Pencil set. They are brand new and logo-engraved (and gold inlaid), and I would like them to go to someone who would appreciate them. How would I go about posting an ad in the Classified section? Many thanks, Ed
