What is the nib size, the general condition, is any of the original packaging available, are you in the US?

Writes like a fine. It's in good used condition--no longer have the box. Located in the U.S.
No offence, but almost $3k is quite high for this pen without box and papers, and in used condition.
Also no offence but if I was seriously considering buying a pen that costs this much then I would need to see detailed pictures here. I don't click links and go elsewhere to look for them.

It's an Imgur link. It's the norm on just about every platform.
There's a date stamp in the last pic.

I've been "eyeing these" for probably a decade, and $2975 for a "good, used" condition pen without packaging is, for lack of a better way to put it, an eBay price. The excessive asking price for these pens have been discussed to death in the pen community, and that includes the current going price for the ballpoints, which are themselves creeping up towards $2000. I would be unreservedly surprised if anybody here falls for this.

Akkerman den Haag sold one of these in a matter of days for 3000€, NOS. That's $3400. I even know who it was sold to. Clearly, the pen sells for this price. It's above my budget as well, but that's the reality of it.

Maybe it's high, maybe it's not. But that should be determined by each individual potential buyer to assess if it's worth that price to them. Attacking a seller for an asking price is petty. If you think it's too high, just don't buy it and move on.
