Honestly, I have looked on some of the websites, including yours David, and I have not really seen any pens like this for such a cheap price as some of you have said.
Just sayin' ..........
Hi Proc,
The pen is a Standard not a Major, both nice models of course.
Here is link to the Sold Pens Archive at Vacumania (largest archive of priced sold old pens on earth): Scan for these numbers for Vac Stdandard
http://www.vacumania...ervacumatic.htm
2892 Standard Silver Pearl Excelletn $235
2867 BUrgundy (better color, slightly less than *my* excellent) $285
3206 Emerald Pearl Excellent $260
3216 Silver Pearl Excellent $235
3165 Golden Pearl Excellent $260
2461 Burg Pearl XF condition $285
2358 Golden Pearl. XF condition but monster nib $285
And oodles more so sold (I just scanned backwards the last 1000 or so pens sold)
Should have more Standards up next couple-few months, with warranty and with my grading standards...

And therein lies one of the problems.
I don't regard looking at a website that lists a bunch of sold pens as being of much use, when I want to buy a pen. First of all I don't know how long those pens have been sitting up there with a "Sold" sign on them - so it doesn't even help me much in determining the selling price of the pen I am interested in. And many websites remove the price when it is sold - so it isn't even useful for that. Even if it does give me an idea of how much I might have to pay for a pen, it still doesn't help me find the pen I am looking for.
Also, these were sets, not just pens. If you can find me sets in the condition that erfobay sold at a lower price, I will buy them from you all day long. I have purchased several pens from them, and they actually seem to underestimate the condition of their pens. Two days ago, I received a Conklin crescent filler overlay from them. They said it would need a new sac. When I opened it, the sac was absolutely new. I just put some talc on it and closed it up. Perfect pen.
Anyway, I would love to find those websites that have all of those wonderful pens for sale that some of you guys keep talking about. Remember I said Pens for Sale! I really don't care what you sold 3 years ago.
