MONTBLANC - Sakura Precious 88 - Artisan Limited Edition Fountain Pen - Asia Series

[bitsbatsbobs]

Hi all,

 

I hope everyone is having a good week!

 

I am looking to sell this fountain pen, amongst others, due to a recent change of circumstances. What is the best approach to take if I want a quick sale?

 

Any advice or tips on marketing or value are welcome.

 

Sakura is a very important symbol for the Japanese culture. It symbolizes beauty and transience, as well as the beginning of spring.

Produced in 2002, this Sakura honors the Lady Ise and is fashioned from 18 karat rose gold highlighted with cherry blossoms painted in exquisite enamel work.

Built on the Boheme chassis this exquisite pen features a retracting 18K 750 rose gold Medium (M) nib marked with Kanji characters.4 1/2 ” (11.4 cm).Limited to only 88 piece world-wide.

This precious Limited Edition is a unique treasure from Montblanc Atelier. Each individual writing instrument is the work of a master craftsman and bears a specific limited edition number as proof of its exclusivity.

Presented in an ivory colored box with all original packaging and papers.

 

Thank you.

Wow that is a LOVELY pen. Wonderful to let us have a look at this pen.

 

Unfortunately these types of pens aren't going to sell very quickly in this type of forum because I would say 99% of us here simply don't have the ability to step up to this type of a sale. If the edition number is any proof of the price you paid, you're probably asking for something close to the 30-35,000k range??? That is going to be hard for many of us to swallow. 

If you want to sell this pen quickly, you might want to approach one of the reputable resellers, like Peyton Street or Chatterley? I think they will probably take it off your hand but they will typically only pay about 1/4 of full value in order for them to profit from the resale.

Chatterley website says 20%-30%.  Not 75%.
