Hello From Broken Arrow Oklahoma

[MannyBA]

Well I must say I've been bit by the FP bug. I own a Waterman Opera with a M nib that I purchased some 15 years ago, used it a little while and put it away in favor of ball[points and roller balls

Well about six months ago I pulled the pen out from storage, cleaned it, put a cartridge in it and BOOM......... magic. So I started looking for information on pens on the web, stumbled on this forum and since then:

 

Sent the Opera to Letta at Pendemonium for a CI grind - Yummy. Bought a TWSBI Diamond 580, VAC700 and a Noodler's AHAB Flex.

I've found out about Richard Binder, Pendleton, Tyler Dahl, Noodler's, Goulet, Franklin Christoph, etc. So my enthusiasm for fountain pens keeps growing.

 

Now if you don't mind I'd appreciate some advice. I have a few more pens that I'd like to purchase, but to do that I'm trying to sell a few items and would like guidance as to the best place to go to do so:

 

Waterman Legrand Roller ball

Waterman Starwalker Ballpoint Pen

 

I'm also considering sellins my Diamond580 to buy a second VAC700 only because I find the grip on the 700 way more comfortable than the 580 (I know... picky). This pen has a TWSBI B nib ground to CI by Tyler Dahl.

 

Would EBay be my best option?

 

Thanks you all.

Hello and Welcome to FPN!! Glad to have you join us!

 

Ebay would probably get you the widest audience for your pens. Sales on FPN are restricted to the Classifieds section and you will need to be a Gold member to post a classified ad. ( 30 days as a member and 30 posts in other than the Chatter sub-forum will get you to gold status)

 

Again Welcome!

Welcome, Manny !

 

As collectible pen sales go, FPN gets your offerings exposure to tens of thousands of interested parties. You will have to stay with us a while to be eligible for accessing the classifieds. I don't think that will be a problem for you.

 

The TWSBI Diamond 580 is a very nice pen. However, you have the best reason for selling it. However, do you really want a second Vac700 at this time ? Are there not other fountain pens that you would rather add to your stable ? A current-production, used TWSBI might bring only 50% of the new price. How uncomfortable is it ?

 

What other pens do you wish to acquire ?

 

Write with joy.

Thanks for your insight. Good questions to ponder on.

I do have a list of about 5 pens I'd like to get my hands on.
