    Seems more logical to drop a price on a bump than threat of being tossed into trash (seeing as cash in hand is always more valuable than none).

    i agree, before you throw the Eversharp Skyline into the garbage can, let me know i would take it for less money, or trade it.

    If you're leaving the hobby because you find it hard to make money on pens, you were in it for the wrong reason to begin with.

    I see nothing in his statement that he wanted to make money on pens. I know this guy, and I think you are a bit off the mark.

    I know him too and entirely echo Jon's sentiments.

    I bought the 51 at, I believe, a fair price. I like a bargain, or a steal as much as anyone. However, I consider fellow Geeks as friends, even though I don't know them, and want to pay a fair price for a pen. If the seller chooses to sell me a pen at ten cents on a dollar, then I would snatch it up in a heartbeat. Buying from a person that is 'in it for the money' and I can buy it cheap, more power to me and too bad for them because they know the market. Sure, some sellers put a higher price on their items, that's their choice and later reduce it if it doesn't sell; that is good also.

    Well I'm glad you gave someone a chance to get these great pens. It would have been a shame to lose them forever, the Parker Duofold Debutante is a great pen and I would love to have it, but the time is just not right for me financially. Maybe if it sticks around a little longer.
    Thanks Cryptos for allowing somebody the chance to own it someday, and I truly mean it.
