Hi. I'm Maria and live near Woodbridge/Dale city. I came here to find other people who share an interest in using fountain pens. I am recently exploring going a bit more analog and improving my writing. So far I like the results of deliberate analog organization. I like giving my hand a break by writing with an instrument that feels like an extension of my hand. Fun fact, my one and only quality pen at the time, an Aurora, was stolen off a desk at a previous job a couple of years back.

Hi, my first post to the site. I've moved into the FPN hesitantly because I really don't know anything about a subject that I see many others are quite passionate about. I'm looking to sell some pens and I don't really have any idea what I have so I'm seeking what I've seen referred to as an "intermediary." I've posted to the regional site because I would like to show the pens to a prospective intermediary in person (if possible) so we can negotiate a contract, discuss whether the prospective intermediary has prior experience serving as middle man, I can hand over the pens (assuming we reach a deal), etc... If anyone is interested, I could meet at a location of your choosing anywhere near the route between Germantown, MD and Stafford, VA as I work in both locations during the week. If you are farther afield, perhaps we could meet somewhere in between? Here is a link to some pictures (pasted below). The the pictures aren't very good - yet another area where some help would be appreciated! I have quite a few additional pens, but my hunch is that the pens for which I've posted pictures are the most valuable. https://www.flickr.com/photos/125298143@N07/ Lastly, if anyone is simply interested in providing advice on how the such a seller-intermediary relationship shold proceed, I'm all ears. For example, is there a ballpark/standard "cut" for the intermediary? Sincerely, Mike michaelkostiw@yahoo.com
