Sheaffer White Dot - 14K Nib Value

[22johnny22]

I was hoping for some help (and I am not honestly using this to plug something I am selling on ebay!)

 

I have an electoplated gold sheaffer white dot fountain pen with a 14k gold nib and have put it up for sale with no reserve. I fully understand that the scrapping of nibs is not condoned on FPN and I fully support this.

 

On this basis I genuinly dont want anyone else to do it so what should the reserve have been set at.

 

I will strongly consider buying it myself to prevent it going for nothing, so to speak.

 

any advise would be most welcome

 

regards

This topic has come up before, given the recurring appearance of nib-less pens on Ebay. Please take a look at https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/233623-dealing-with-gold-scrap-values/ for some further discussion.

Thank you for the heads up, I will on this basis not let it go for less than the scrap value
