As I said earlier, I'm currently becoming immersed in another addicting hobby (watches) and would like to sell off some pens from my personal collection that are simply gathering dust so I can fund the purchase of those other objects I covet. One such pen is an absolutely beautiful, brand new in-the-box Platinum Celluloid in Jade with the much-adored Music Nib. This is the famous 3-tined music nib, which helps the ink flow considerably. If fills with cartridges, or uses bottled ink with the included converter. This is another of my pens that's never been inked and comes complete with all boxes and papers. As beautiful as it is (and it IS beautiful), it's time for it to find a new home. Retail on this pen is $380, which is actually a great price considering the quality and beauty of this pen. But you can have this one for only $275.00, plus shipping anywhere in the CONUS. Because I'm moving this pen at what I think is an extremely attractive price, I would like to get payment by check or money order, or reluctantly ask for 3% for PayPal fees. Because of the international transaction fees, I'd prefer to keep this in the US, but will consider certain overseas sales if the purchaser is willing to cover the additional expense to me. FWIW: I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow morning, and I won't be back in town for a week, so if you send me a message and don't hear from me, you'll know why. I will do my best to answer any email or PM inquiries that come in before 11:59:59 pm (eastern time) on 6/19/09.
