Reddit has a subreddit: r/Pen_Swap that is a pretty solid sales forum. It's a bit rare to see pens over $1kUS, but sub $500 pens are common

 

Pics would help us advise.

To many a BIC or kilometrico is a good pen.

 

I have the same issue- inherited a nice collection several years ago of LE 90’s era Duofolds, MB etc. not a pen guy (I like them and have used a few but not a “pen guy”) and don’t want to join a forum just to sell them as I don’t have any interest in “learning” about them. Akin to the hit&run sellers here and don’t want to be that guy.

I proposed a hobby swap here once upon a time for exactly this kind of thing but it was shot down (for good reason- I get it, we don’t want to look like a flea market). I have done a few barter deals with some members here for hobby-to-watches and it has worked out for both parties.

 

I’ve sold several on eBay over the years without issue. I wouldn’t worry about it.

 

Dreweatts hold specialist pen auctions. They also have representatives attending UK vintage pen fairs.

Why not have a "Non-watches For Sale" sub-forum around here?
An important element of buying "on-line" is buying the seller, so we the reputation that we have already established around here, it would definitely be my interest to seeing a "flea market" from OFers as suggested above.

Since @Trev is really not THAT busy these days, I am sure he will be able to think about this new project.

 

Ash, there must be a fair bit of overlap in interests between watches and nice pens. As noted above, how about listing them here?

 

No point!.... Nobody knows how to write anymore mate! And if they do it's just a line of "Text speak" or fakkinn riddles in the form of acronyms!!!
This is where they are heading with written communication!

 

Fair point, as always.
But collectibles, luxury items and, why not, cars, could be a great option.

 

Yes, but was it Marlon Brando’s fridge? Because that would pair well with his clapped out GMT! Perhaps Paul Newman’s used toothpaste tube that was fished from his trash, and there has got to be some trade value in Steve McQueens’s soiled underwear that he wore during Bullit.

 

But those shagged out seals are original!!!!!

 

I get that we don’t want this place to look like Craigslist- it would just be an interesting idea to see how it could be framed without turning it into dumpster diving.

 

LE glass works ?


I can delete if someone has issues with dinosaurs

 

There is a section to sell pens on WUS. You can list something there or else start a new category here like others mentioned.

 

Was that the pair he was wearing when the motorcyclist wandered into the chase scene and was almost killed? They kept that in the film.

 

They kept his soiled underwear in the film??
