What Parker Are You Using This Day?

[OcalaFlGuy]

Interesting how this deal worked out.

 

Here's the original listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/271292002798

 

$31 including almost $10 shipping is past run of the mill P-45 prices for me, even really nice run of the mill ones.

 

Buttt, it's Turquoise and my only other one that color is an Arrow, the pics make it look minty and there's that bodacious honkin' gold F nib. So I hit the save to your wish list list button. Sure 'nuf, it ends with not one bidder.

 

I sent the seller a BIN offer for $20 shipped.

 

Zing. Snap. He takes it.

 

I actually had a whole .18 in Fleabay bucks so this one cost me a whole $19.82. A pen this nice for less than $20 with a 14k nib in it? How the heck am I supposed to let that pass by?

 

Put those questionable opening price but nice listings in the TBD drawer, sometimes they can work your way After the item ends.

 

[EDIT] The even funnier part to this was I got it for an intro to FP bait for two acquaintances. (They didn't know What pen.) Neither one bit the lure. Their lose, they both missed out on a real nice one.

Needed to sign a letter and reached into a drawer and picked up a Sonnet.

P45 with MB Toffee Brown today.

[ac12]

51s (blue ink) and 45 (green ink) desk pens

45s (turquoise and red inks), Arrow (green ink), Classic (black ink) and Sonnet (blue ink) clip pens

 

Got to write with the different pens every few days or the nib dries out, so I rotate them as I write my journal. Kinda neat to see the different ink colors on the page.

Blue Marble Victory Mark I loaded with Visconti Blue.

1950 Burgundy "51" Special filled with Binder Burgundy, in memory of Old Griz. It was the first pen I bought from him.

My father's Parker 51 was something I used to draw with for a little while. I decided to get my own and got two used Parker Sonnets (a fine nib Black and a mottled blue with a medium nib) I usually carry one of these regularly. I would also carry a Namiki Vanishing Point as an alternate.
