I'm selling a few pens from the ol' collection.
SOLD -- $75: Montegrappa Fortuna with the Mosaico garb. Medium steel nib (Jowo #6 stamped Montegrappa), writes as you'd expect. Beautiful pen overall but a tad thin at the section for my taste. Condition is B+ since there are no obvious defects on the body, but the feed has some purple ink residue that will probably require some nib flush solution or an ultrasonic cleaner to fully remove. It won't be a problem if you plan to use a dark color or any purple/blue, but something like a mint green or powder blue might look a little muddy.
SOLD -- $350: Sailor Luminous Shadow KOP with a medium 21k nib. Things to note about this pen -- first, there are a couple tiny scratches on the body. They're hard to see due to the pattern in the acrylic, but they're there. (Both are less than 1/8" in length.) Second, I dropped the pen and bent the nib, and it was expertly repaired by Matthew Chen. I think it writes great now, but it looks kind of wonky. Also, the black plating has discolored in a couple places. All of these issues are clearly shown in the photos. I would say the body condition is "B" and the nib condition is "D" due to the repairs and the discoloration. Price has been adjusted accordingly.
SOLD -- $115: Montegrappa Tarvisium one-off that I've tried and failed to sell a couple times, so now it's back with a rock bottom price. I paid $250 for it, since it's a great pen with a very unique "petrol" color (dark green/teal with some shiny stuff in the mix). Medium steel nib (Jowo #6 stamped Montegrappa), writes as you'd expect. This pen was never released, so you'll definitely be the only kid on your block with one. Condition is B+ since there are no obvious defects on the body, although you might have a more discerning eye than I do.

In my experience, dropped nibs that are subsequently repaired write just as well if not better than the original. Whoever grabs that $350 KOP is getting a heck of a deal.
