Hello all. I'm paring down my pen collection. I used to work for Gillette/Newell and I have way too many samples kicking around. All are new old stock, unused in mint condition. Thanks for looking

Particularly Waterman prices are very ambitious...
Hi. Welcome to fp geeks…
Thanks for the heads up. I'm kind of clearing them out at a pretty generous discount. In general I'm looking for around 1/2 of retail value. I should have stated that in my original post!

IMHO you should consider placing your images here and not relying on an external link

Generally, most of the people here respect and expect realistically set prices. With all due respect to you and your collection. . . . you're trolling for offers and people will tend to ignore your listings.

I kinda feel like a voyeur for just having read all the replies in this thread.
This is a community and, like all communities, it has shared values and customs. That‘s the glue that holds communities together and makes them work. This community works pretty well, from what I've observed. Like people say, read the room.

Thanks to everyone who took some time to look over the collection and to those who made a purchase. All the best
I've found that its hard enough to try to sell a pen. But at least try to make it as easy as possible for the potential buyers. Not having the pictures right in the posting is not a good idea at all.
I like much older Waterman pens, so I don't know the value of your listings. But the comments seem to indicate that they are high. Setting prices way too high and expecting people to offer the much lower reasonable price might be commerce, but its bad commerce. Most people won't do that. And those that do will offer really low alternative prices. Maybe if a pen was more rare and unusual. but not for everyday stuff.
You have been offered a lot of good advice by people experienced on this site and similar sites. You would be wise to take it. But you seem to think that you are correct

Humility goes a long way for someone new trying to sell on a sight where no one knows them. A good community will sniff out any potential problem sellers. There's no need to be offended if you're legit. Take the advice offered by the more experienced on this forum and be humble... not defensive.

Just so as to leave the thread on an upbeat note, I wanted to share that I bought a very nice NOS rOtring pen from the OP, fine price, great communication, tossed in an extra something too :-) and generally a flawless transaction.
I’m appreciative of fpgeeks as the welcoming community it is for people sharing an interest or passion (or compulsion!) about writing instruments and such.
