Vintage nib prices on ebay

(1/17) > >>

schin:
Hi friends,

I was just looking at prices for vintage nibs and wonder if it's possible for us to compile a list of 'previously paid' prices for popular vintage nibs? This would be from places such as ebay that everyone can access. Lucky breaks, unfinished auctions or flea markets finds don't count. Since ebay only shows limited completed listings (only 3 months), it would be a nice way to at least have a history of what was paid for a single nib in recent years/months as a reference for all.

To start with here are some of my records (lots of digging in my email!), I hope maybe you guys can help add to it? Prices don't include shipping. All are EBAY auctions unless otherwise stated.

Schin - are these 'per nib' prices? $29 for one 303?

Here are some of mine:

Gillotts 170

Sep. 2015: $97 for 72 nibs

Gillotts 404
Apr. 2015: $61 for a gross
Sep. 2014 $44 for a gross

Gillotts 303
Mar. 2015: $248 for ~75 nibs

John Mitchell 0419
Nov. 2014 $56 for ~90 nibs

Esterbrook
Jun. 2013 $30 for gross of Assorted Drafting pens (including 355, 356, 357, 358)

Spencerian No.1
Sep. 2014: $27 for 6 nibs

I also bought a few A1 nibs in 2013 but don't remember what I paid for them but it wouldn't have been more than $3-4 per nib. I wish I had bought more at the time.

I have also bought Spencerian No.1 from other sources but can't find the records. It was in 2014 and I believe I paid $5 a nib.
