Similar to above. I don't go out of my way to sell my pens but if asked to make one I won't do it cheaply.
If someone takes a fancy to a pen I usually give it to them, they are awed by the gesture and return with a commission at a later date.
New landlord to our local pub sat with the area manager signing papers when the pen ran out of ink, I had a newly finished bullet pen in my pocket which they used for the ceremony.
I gave the pen to the landlord who was so thrilled he asked me to put a display case behind the bar from which he sold many a pen for me.
I made a deskset as a present for his daughters wedding all in white and they used the fountain pen to sign the register.
I sold them pens for the bridesmaids and a few guests gave me commissions.
A young lad got a job as a newspaper reporter I gave him a pen for his new job he was so pleased with it he will not lend it to his colleagues but gives them my card so they buy one.
My prices start at £12.00 for a plastic slimline to £160 for blingy Roman Harvest in a nice Burr, depending on who the customer is and whether I like them or not.
If I hate them it's £1000 init?
