Hello,

I am selling some of my favorite pens in order to replenish my bank account in preparation for the spring semester tuition expenses. All pens are in wonderful working condition and have ALL (except the MB because it was perfect OOTB) been professionally tuned by a nibmeister - either Dan Smith, or Mark Bacas - depending on the pen. If you would like more information or more pictures, feel free to contact me either here or at kyleparsons2001@hotmail.com. All prices include shipping to CONUS. Sorry, but international is out as I have had too many bad experiences.

SOLD 1) Visconti Opera Master Candy Celluloid Chatterley Exclusive - 23k Pd Medium two tone nib. This is a great pen. It is a limited edition from Chatterley Luxuries number 02 of only 10 made. It is entirely made of celluloid, even the section which is appealing for those who like the opera master model, but not a fan of the metal sections. The nib is quite soft and was tuned by Dan Smith of Nibsmith.com. It writes as it should, fills as it should, feels great in the hand, and consistent. Lovely pen, I'd love to keep it, but...bills are bills...Comes with box/papers. Asking price: $650.

2) Visconti Skeleton Alutex Chatterley Exclusive - 23k Pd Medium two tone nib. This pen is also an exclusive to Chatterley Luxuries number 09/88. It is made of a material called Alutex, which is aluminum fiber. Similar to carbon fiber, but instead of carbon, it's aluminum. Pretty neat really. The nib was tuned by Dan Smith of Nibsmith.com. It writes quite nicely. The body has the following features of note: there is a small scratch on the section (pictured), ink can be hard to clean out of the area where the section joins to the barrel (where the vac seal closes in to), occasionally requires an extra draw of the filler to get a normal fill. With these imperfections in mind, the price is far lower than the 1300 retail. Comes with box/papers. I am asking $500 475.

SOLD 3) MB 149 Platinum - 18k BB nib. This pen was originally purchased with an OB nib, but was returned to my Houston MB boutique for a nib exchange to a BB. It's only seen 2 fills and is practically new. Wonderful nib, wonderful pen, I just don't use it as much as I would prefer and I could use the money more than the pen at the present time. Comes with box/papers. Asking price $500.

SOLD 4) Aurora 88 Black Satin - 14k rose gold Fine nib. This pen was purchased as a way to fill my void of a fine nib. It was tuned by Mark Bacas of nibgrinder.com and writes very well. When I originally got the pen, I felt that it was way too feedbacky so I had Mark make it smoother and wetter. Turned out really great but it has to go unfortunately. Comes with box/papers. Asking $300.

SOLD 5) Pilot 823 Amber - 14k Medium nib. This pen was tuned by Mark Bacas and writes very well. Lovely bouncy nib, wet, smooth...truly great. It's definitely been used and there is evidence of that in the barrel (scuffs near the back of the pen on the inside; pictured). Asking price $200.

SOLD 6) Pelikan M800 Renaissance - 18k IB 2 tone nib. This pen was tuned by Mark Bacas of nibgrinder.com. Cosmetically as close to new as you can get. Beautiful material, and fun nib. Keep in mind that italic broads are sensitive to rotation/position so they are not for everyone, but if you are a fan of really large stubs, you'll like this pen. Comes with box/papers. Asking $375.

SOLD 7) Pelikan M101n Tortoise - 14k Medium rhodium plated nib. This was a limited pen from Pelikan. It is significantly smaller than the other pens listed for sale, and that is the main reason I am selling it. I generally prefer large pens, and this one, while it writes superbly, is too tiny for my mammoth hands. There are marks on the ink window where the pen was capped/uncapped (typical with pelikans) from use. Comes with box/papers. Asking $300.
