    Default Parker 51 special (1.6mm ball tip)

    Parker 51 Special (Custom Nib). Dispatched with Royal Mail Special Delivery. Lovely condition. Smooth nib - retipped by Greg Minuskin into 1.6mm ball tip. Writes like a medium/broad, but much more forgiving for writing angle as ball tip. Making way for further purchases so selling.

    Thumbs down Re: Parker 51 special (1.6mm ball tip)

    Hum..............beings you paid $110.00 from Greg Minuskin for the pen and are selling here for 100 British Pounds= $140.00, nice little profit there mate.

    You also purchased a Lamy w/BLS mod by Pendleton Brown and did the same thing prior to selling that pen here as well

    I am always suspiscious when someone purchases a pen from a seller and then see it turn up here a week later at a higher price; 27-28% increase? Maybe you should try eBay instead of trying to make a profit on Forum Members here

    Hi, many thanks for the message. I bought the pens but actually they weren’t too my taste so selling. The pen from Greg cost me £109.92, I expect I will be offered a much lower amount on resale. The Pendleton pen cost me £259 with shipping and customs charges to enter the UK. I got £105 for it. Definitely no profits going on here. Pen buying and selling into and out of the UK would be a very bad business idea.
