FS: GvFC Guilloche, Sheaffer Connaisseur, Pelikan M215 first gen

[mmd]

Up for your consideration are three very nice modern pens. All of them are in very good used condition and writes nicely.

1. Graf von Faber Castell Guilloche, 18k F nib
A great medium sized pen with a great gold nib. The F nib writes on the broader side, more like M. C/C filling and the section is very comfortable. MSRP is well above $300.
Asking $150 shipped USCON, SOLD

2. Sheaffer Connaisseur, 14k M nib
A great large sized pen, very comfortable size and balance. 14k M nib writes a true western M, wet and juicy.
Asking $100 shipped USCON

3. Pelikan M215 first gen, 14k OM stub/CI
This is the first gen M215 with blue barrel and stripes. Pretty hard to find these days. The pen has an old style M400 gold nib, OM modified to stub/CI. The nib also has some softness.
Asking $200 shipped USCON, SOLD

Ship to USCON only and please let me know if you have any question.

Remotely interested in one of the larger sized Franklin-Christophs (66,20,30......). If you have one for trade, please also let me know. Thanks. :)

The Pelikan has been sold. How about a $5 reduction to the rest 2?

You rigid on USCON only? I'm very interested in the Sheaffer but I'm in Canada. PM me if there's room to deal on shipping.

I can possibly ship to anywhere USPS will deliver to but the international shipping is very expensive these days. As far as I was told, USPS has got rid of first class international shipping almost entirely, in the sense that you can only ship "documents". International Priority shipping is very expensive, "Beginning at $24.95 at Post Office™ locations and online".

Obviously, I can't include that in price and it will be extra. But for buyers, it just means the pen will be at least $20 more expensive....... There's also the added risk of losing/damaging packages. To make it worse, USPS insurance only covers the part that's carried by the USPS itself in my understanding. So if the package is given to say Canada post for delivery when it reaches Canada, insurance won't cover that part. At least that's what I was told last time I lost my package.

That's basically my reasoning and because the shipping is rather high compared to the price, I'll say it's rigid this time. :)

Fair enough, but I'll add that despite that, I've never had an issue with USPS shipping, so if you're ok with that, so am I.

Just know if you have no bites, I'm a willing participant. [emoji846]. PM me if you'd like to talk more.

Bump for the remaining Sheaffer. :)

Would jump on that Sheaffer but USCON only.

Lord knows how many international deals I have done here and other places fpn, slack, etsy, ebay, dealers (Peyton street pens, Rick Propas, Sarj Minhas ...), etc. & co.
100? More? Never a problem. I have literally, in 20 years, never lost a parcel.

But it's your call.

Bump. Sheaffer Connoisseur now $90 shipped USCON.
