    Default Sales Advice

    I'm beginning the winnowing out process with some of my pen accumulation. The nicer pens that write are no problem. But, there are any number of pens that were going to be restored but instead slumbered away with no work ever done. They're vintage pens.
    If you were in the market would you be more interested in buying them after restoration [by someone who knew what they were doing!] or in buying as-is, and restoring them?
    They're solid user pens, not mint.

    both depends on price and condition. but selling restored pens will reach more potential buyers.

    What christof said. Perhaps you could give a better idea of what sort of vintage, user pens you're talking about?

    There's a world of difference between an old Esterbrook that needs a new sac, and a nice Sheaffer or Parker with a more complex filling system.

    Some folks enjoy restoring them, and KBeezie comes to mind. Probably in the minority though.

    Thanks to you all for the sound advice. I'll follow up with an idea of what I've in mind.
    Hadn't seen KBeezie in a while. I think I live relatively close by.

    It is a useful utility for formatting and creating bootable USB flash drives such as USB keys/pen drives, memory sticks, etc. It can be used on a wide variety of devices. Likewise, it's particularly useful when you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.). You must work on a system that does not have an operating system installed. Get more information rufus du sol los angeles.
