Hi friends,
I have always admired the Parker 75 fountain pen and over a period of time, have collected a modest assortment of these in various finishes.
However, this one pen was eluding me for quite a while- the Parker 75 Cisele first year model with the metal threaded section.
Even a few years back, one could find one listed on eBay occasionally, but no longer the case these days. Seems they have become scarcer, and when they do appear, they are listed at unrealistic and astronomical prices which simply do not justify purchase.
Well, recently I have come across a supplier who has the same in mint condition and is asking for USD 300 shipped.
Well, it is twice of what a regular model in mint condition and nearly thrice of what a nice user grade pen sells for.
I ask for your opinion, my friends, as to the offer I have at hand.
Best regards,
SS
