| | | Place to sell luxury fountain pen ?
Hello
I'm looking for a place to sell some rare* fountain pens from my collection, can someone recommend me a good auction house or maybe some private club here in Switzerland ?
Thanks !
*very limited editions of Cartier.

Thanks for the reply, I'm just not sure if this the proper place to advertise.
The price for some is more than 100k USD. I have not seen such expansive items for sale here.

Well, you can always give it a try.
And are your here to brag? Try Sotheby´s or Christie´s if it really is a valuable one.

I find it slightly odd that someone who bought pens worth this kind of money has no idea where to sell them????

I might be interested, I lost my last limited edition cartier down the back of the sofa, along with the keys to my Ferrari.

Why would you get more money in Switzerland for a worldwide sought after item?
Just 5 minutes of google gave me 10 starting points to get quotes.
Any auction nowadays is internet inclusive.
Just a commission and tax issue.
Ok - the pen must be authentic and have any historical attributes verified - I am sure that if I had something of this worth, I would have been well down this path by now.
Maybe you are just trying to attract a bird with your collection of pens
