Pelikan M100

The M 100 is by far more expensive in ebay righ now.

 

 

I agree. I've been following the M100s for months now on eBay and they are proving difficult to come by (especially in the UK).

 

I owned one until a few months ago, when it fell out from my pocket somewhere and I couldn't find it again. From all the collection of my pens it was easily the best and most enjoyable to write with. So gutted :(

It's funny because I always see the black M100's being mislabled as M150's when for sale. What distinguishes the two is that the M100 had chrome trim versus the M150's gold plated, much in same way that M200's are different from M205's. Here is a pic to help illustrate. the first 4 pens are M100's and the next 6 are M150's.

Beautiful collection! I have a soft spot for the M100 because my first one went through a lot with me -

How much do you think that is a appropiate price for a Pelikan M100? What price would you sell it?

When I bought mine in 2009 I paid around £40 for it on eBay, and that was a bargain in my opinion! At the moment they're so hard to find in the UK - I'm talking about the vintage ones from the 1980s to early 1990s (made in West Germany).

 

The only ones available are in Europe these days. They seem to go around £80 and above, I am tempted to buy another but I'll keep watching till I can find another bargain again ;)

I remember purchasing a black M100 with broad nib in Germany in 1997 for 39 DM. I still have it and have used it ever since it was purchased. It’s such a simple, inexpensive, reliable and well made fountain pen that I feel it’ll last me a lifetime. I like to call it a Toyota among my fountain pens.
