I've got a few quality fountain pens that I would like to sell. Apart from eBay, does anyone know of a good forum or Facebook group where I might be able to sell them?

 

I'll be following this thread with interest. I have a silver Montegrappa Reminiscence I'd like to move.

 

the first hit on a Google search... http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/276428-where-to-sell-my-pens/

 

Based on that, it’s pretty much eBay.

 

WUS or watchuseek.com has a pen forum at the bottom of the forum index. It gets a fair bit of traffic.
GLWS

 

I am curious how many members would support a special section in Private Sales here for Pen ......
I definitely will support it....

 

Reddit has a sale/trade forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pen_Swap

 

The British watch forum TZ-UK has a sales corner where you can post all types of non-watch items. However you must have a certain number of posts (100 IIRC) before you can post FS on it— and 50 before you can access it.

 

That's good to know. I'm a long time member at WUS, but had no idea you could discuss or sell pens.

 

Plus you have to be willing to deal with the abuse, aggression, and overall priveliged middle aged dude nonsense... and that’s just from the forum owner.

 

Yep. Be careful what you do on TZ-UK, it’s not a particularly friendly place. Step out of line or even sound off at the wrong person and be prepared to get your personal details posted and your character assassinated. It didn’t happen to me but it does happen there now and then. At the very least an item that is misdescribed or seemingly overpriced will be openly mocked.

 

I think I'm a member there, but have never really attended. Frankly, I'm not planning on going back.

 

did you see their own (The Fountain Pen Network) classifieds section?

 

Yes, I did, but it has a minimum post requirement which I don’t meet. On the other hand, I have good affiliation with eBay and WUS, so they are better for me.

 

Make sure you check value before you list....I hear Paneristi is a good place for that sort of thing...

 

Also, traffic on that site is minimal.

Ebay is probably your best bet.

 

ah! those pesky minimum posts! can’t help you there!

 

Yes, I certainly will. Once a leopard always a leopard.

 

I have had these two photos of yours of a PAM116 service you did a number of years ago in my library for a long time, but didn’t put two and two together until this evening.
