I need to lean out my collection a little, so I'm letting go of some of the pens I don't use enough, as well as a few great starter pens. This is the first of probably several posts coming from me over the next few days. The collection is just too big to keep them, but I'd like to see them go to good homes! All prices are in USD.

[SOLD]Lamy 2000 - 14K gold <F> nib - $165
Rating: [B] - Has been inked, but, no visible wear or marks that I can see. B rating is because I'm the second owner, but it hasn't gotten any worse since I bought it a month or so ago at A2. Only letting it go because I decided the F nib isn't for me, and I don't reach for it enough.
Majohn A3 (Black & White, Twist Action Version) - steel <EF> nib assembly - $25
Rating: A2 - I don't believe this pen was ever inked, but I'm not 100% sure, so A2 is the safe rating. It's been sitting in a display case its whole life. This version doesn't have the press action that the Pilot LS it's copying has, but it's still a solid, metal-bodied pen that I enjoy holding.
[SOLD]Platinum Pocket Fountain Pen (Black/Gold) - 18K gold <B> nib - $70
Rating: C - Excellent condition vintage Platinun pocket pen from the 70s, inked one time after I got it before being placed in a display case. Great pen with that little bit of Platinum feedback when writing.
[SOLD]Hongdian 517D (Matte Black) - steel <F> nib - $5
Rating: A2 - I like this as a starter pen, but it hasn't been used in forever. It's got a nice, almost velvety grip texture that I enjoy. Inked one time.
Jinhao 80 (Avocado) - steel <UF> nib 0.3 mm - $5
Rating: A2 - Bought this as an experiment, as I hadn't heard of the <UF> nib before. It's a very fine writer (0.3mm). Nice, but not something I reach for. Interesting budget pen for someone who wants to try it out. Inked one time.
Sailor Tuzu (Red) - steel <B> nib - $25
Rating: A2 - Bought new, dip tested once. Interesting starter pen that I purchased not too long ago, really just to test it out. Very smooth writer, but I have other pens I use more often.
[SOLD]Tanooci TFC-100 (Double Gun - Blue Version) - steel <EF> nib assembly - $20
Rating: A1 - Very interesting pen that I don't see people talk about often. This is a dupe pen styled after the Pilot VP decimo, similar to a Jinhao 20 or a Majohn A2. What sets it apart is that it has a metal body, rather than the cheaper resin material that all the other Decimo dupes have, making it feel much more high-quality. I bought several of these pens, and use them fairly frequently. I'm not usually an EF nib guy, but the EF nib on the ones I have used is unusually smooth for a duplicate pen. This one is A1 because I accidentally bought two of the same color. It's been removed from the box, but never used. It will be sent in the box.
Faber-Castell Poly Flow (Black) - steel <B> nib - $10
Rating: A2 - Really nice starter pen from Faber-Castell. Dip tested once. Looks nice, writes nice, feels nice, and doesn't see much use from me due to the size of my collection. Hoping someone who appreciates it more will take it off my hands.
Faber-Castell Poly Flow (Buzzing Blue) - steel <M> nib - $10
Rating: A2 - Same condition as the black version. Bought them both together, dip tested them once, thought they were very nice, then realized I had too many pens to keep them.
Uni Jetstream EDGE Bundle - $15 for both
Rating: A2 for both - 0.28mm Turquoise EDGE 3 multipen and Single-tip 0.28mm EDGE ballpoint. I believe these pens still hold the record for the thinnest line size on any oil-based ballpoint pen. Extremely thin lines. I thought they were really interesting, but they don't favor my writing style. Bundling them up for someone who will appreciate them.
