I saw a LAMY 2000 makrolon (B) nib that had gotten the Pendleton Brown "BLS" treatment.
Buyer said he got the Lamy 2K in B, but said it seemed "blobby." He wrote with it for one day and immediately sent it P Brown at the recommendation of a friend.
He said the pen was like new or mint and me actually looking at and handling the pen conformed that. If he would have said the pen was new and the nib was a custom, I would believe him. He was very honest about how much he has used the pen, what he paid for it and how much the nib work was.
The writing sample was AMAZING.
My question is what do you think a fair price would be? I mean, I can subtract X,Y, or Z from pen and services, then add shipping, and I am not sure what is "proper."
I am not a haggler, but I also don't want to overpay.
For the record, the pen's sweet spot was bigger than I anticipated and I imagine it's hard to get a B nib that has been turned into something just short of magical.
I want to hear people's opinion about what a pristine pen with that kind of nib size and work is worth SHIPPED.
I know someone is going to ask the price. He said he is working on it.
Thanks a bunch!
