• Secondary market only. No primary sales from manufacturers or retailers at this time.
• Good photos are essential for successful sales. Include close-ups of the nib, any engravings, and any wear or damage.
• "How does it write?" This is the most common question. Help people out with a description, a photo, or a video.
• Detailed specs: Condition, Nib size, filling mechanism, materials, and year of manufacture (when known), are all helpful to buyers
• Verify Ownership. Be prepared to share proof of ownership with customers or Gathermark admin if you asked.
• Price your items fairly based on their condition and market value. Price gouging is discouraged.
• Always drain ink before shipping, use appropriate padding, consider insurance for valuable items, and provide tracking information to buyers promptly.
