Levenger Seas Tasman--Fair Value?

[drjmb]

I, too, have persdonally paid too much for two Seas, Red and Tasman ( red and aqua/turqouise). I needed these two for my collection and kicked myself for missing a red one that went for about $200. When the next two came up, I wound up winning the red for over $200 and the Tasman for close to $300. While the others cost in the $100 - $130(+) range, I'm happy because I haven't seen a Tasman since. One red came up later that went for less than $200 but close enough that I'm OK w/ it. I now have the entire Seas series. Trying to work on the Seas II.

I have the complete set of six Series I Seas Sh./Levenger and, like everyone else, paid too much, I was happy and patient for the first four colors and spent, oh, $125-50(+/-) a pen. I needed two more: Rea Sea and (Aqua) Tasman Sea. I remember more was spent on the Red Sea ($200 (+/-) but the N.I.B. Aqua Tasman was in the $300 range. Yea, too damned much for a pen inferior to the Connoisseaur (sic) but it completed a collection with just the two I needed. I've also got two of the next four in Series !!, Gray and Blue. However, I also have several Connies that I am fond of. The difference seems to be a 14k vs. 18k nib.
