Parker Vac golden web price?
Hi guys, I saw a listing on ebay for a Parker Vacumatic Golden Web, the seller had it listed for $500 and I sent them an offer of $200, skeptical that they would accept it. Well turns out they did, what is the usual market price for one of these? In good condition?

$200 for a Golden Web in "superb" condition is a very good price. I payed more for mine ten years ago...

IMHO When you suggest you're deciding between a Parker Vac Golden web and a Montblanc 146 Unicef you're talking about a really vast difference. It's like comparing apples with a chair.

Who cares about the MB? Go for the rare pen! If you decide to pass on it, I'll take it.

penmainiac,
‘ what is the usual market price for one of these? In good condition? ‘
In answer to your question.
I spent a few moments researching your question.
On UK ebay, good ones sell for £300
Mint ones are more
Can you please post an image of the pen that you have mentioned.

Here are some pictures from the seller, he’s reported that the pen has no cracks chips or bite marks, just some micro scratches.

Are you quoting prices for completed sales or asking prices. Also, prices for objects are best tracked over time, not a one-look snapshot.

I have no idea why you are even hesitating.

I'm not trying to be confrontational or anything, and I know we have been in purchasing discussions before. Just keep in mind that many people read through these threads and *won't* have the benefit of past discourse. I tend to make it a rule to ask that question when someone mentions that they are figuring out current selling price points, because there are many, many people who are not aware of how off the mark you can be when you only look at asking price, yet that is precisely what they were doing.
Not about you at all, and I meant no offense.

Interestingly I just did a search and found one currently on auction on ebay UK. We can watch and see what it fetches in a couple of days time. :)
However, when searching for "Sold items" it appears that this same seller has recently sold this pen at least twice. Once in November and once in January, so all may not be as it seems....... Unless, of course, he has at least 3 identical golden web pens. :dirol:
Re: Parker Vac golden web price?
I found two others... One being auctioned and is now about 15$ with a misaligned nib another for 4500 US $.
Quite a contrast ;)
Re: Parker Vac golden web price?
Personally, I would never make an offer out of ignorance. Do you homework before bidding. As JS said, others may read this later.

I’ve done quite a lot of reading on Parkers, I knew straight away from the listing that is was one of the famed golden webs, I just never thought the seller would accept such a low offer[emoji28]

I can't remember the exact sum, but was something between $250 and $275. As already said, 10 years and more ago...
