Best "steal"

[Parker51]

Best recent deal; a black Sheaffer's PFM I for $5.00 at a flea market. It has a great nib, writes well, but does have an imprinted inscription, possibly the reason it survived in the wild in such good condition.

Although, the very best steal I'm aware of is the bloody Scouser who stole my aforementioned (vide supra) £250, ten-month-old MB 149 for £100, because he was the only respondent to my ad in the Liverpool Echo, and he had me over over a barrel.

 

He came round to my student digs, realised with one glance that I needed emergency cash for baked beans and beer, and shafted me.

 

Broad daylight, mind.

Hi, a recent "good deal" has been a '00 Omas Milord at 250 €, n.i.b from a shop that was sadly closing down the activity. It has been then stolen from my apartment only one year later.

Hence, that's a steal...

A lot of 7 pens. Shabby pic, and pens looked like they were buried under a building - terrible condition. They included:

1. Waterman's 52 1/2 Woodgrain, full flex nib

2. Parker 51 vacuum

3. Parker 61 capillary filler

4. Waterman's CF with original glass cartridge

5. Waterman's CF, later model with cartridge

6. Waterman's 3J with full flex nib

7. Parker 45

 

Got them all for $220, but I needed to restore them myself. Luckily, I love restoration
