Sell Your Luxury Fountain Pen on Consignment

At Chatterley Luxuries, we specialize in selling high-end fountain pens for discerning collectors. Our consignment service ensures you get the best value for your rare and valuable pens—without the hassle of selling them yourself.

What is Pen Consignment, and How Does It Work?

Consignment is a hassle-free way to sell your luxury pen. You send us your pen, we list and market it to our exclusive network of collectors, and once it sells, you receive payment. Unlike selling directly, consignment allows you to achieve a higher price without handling negotiations, shipping, or buyer inquiries.

Why Should I Consign My Pen Instead of Selling It Myself?

Selling on your own can be time-consuming and risky. With Chatterley Luxuries, you benefit from:

• Higher Selling Prices: Our access to serious collectors means your pen gets its true market value.
• No Hassle: We handle photography, descriptions, marketing, and negotiations.
• Trusted Reputation: Buyers prefer dealing with an established retailer over an unknown seller.
• Secure Transactions: No risk of chargebacks or fraudulent buyers.

What Types of Pens Do You Accept for Consignment?

We specialize in high-end fountain pens from many of the world’s most respected brands, including:

Namiki, S.T. Dupont, Montblanc, Visconti, Pelikan, Aurora, Omas, Montegrappa, Cartier, Nakaya, Danitrio, Waterman, Bexley, Conway Stewart, Wahl-Eversharp, Yard-O-Led, Edison, Franklin-Christoph, Parker, Sheaffer, and more.

If you have a high-value pen outside of these brands, contact us to discuss consignment options. We have successfully sold a wide range of pens from both current and vintage brands. Browse our consignment listings and sold-out editions to see what we’ve handled in the past.

How Much Can I Expect to Get for My Pen?

Pricing depends on brand, rarity, condition, and market demand. We assess each pen individually and provide an estimated selling price based on:

• Past sales data
• Current market trends
• Collector demand

We strive to get you the highest return possible.

What Fees Do You Charge for Pen Consignment?

Our consignment fee is competitive, transparent, and based on your pen’s value. We only take a commission after the pen sells—ensuring our incentive is aligned with yours.

How Long Does It Take to Sell a Consigned Pen?

The selling time varies based on brand and demand. Some pens sell within days, while rare models may take longer to find the right buyer.

We require up to 120 days to sell your pen once it arrives. If you request the pen back before the 120-day period ends, consignment fees will still apply.

That said, most pens sell well before the 120-day mark—especially when priced correctly. We’ll keep you updated and discuss any adjustments needed to help your pen find the right buyer.

What Happens if My Pen Doesn’t Sell?

If your pen hasn’t sold within the 120-day consignment period, we’ll reach out to discuss the next steps. Options include:

• Adjusting the price based on market trends

• Extending the listing period

• Returning the pen to you, if preferred

We’ll work with you to decide the best course of action based on collector interest and current demand.

How Do I Ship My Pen for Consignment?

Shipping your pen—or pens—safely is essential. They should be well-packed with proper protection and fully insured.

We’ll provide clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process.

Do You Clean, Restore, or Service Pens Before Selling?

All pens need to be presented in the best way possible. Pens should arrive in working condition—cleaned, complete, and ready to sell.

If your pen needs cleaning or minor servicing before listing, we can take care of it for a fee. For more extensive repairs, contact us and we’ll refer you to a trusted specialist.

Where Do You Sell Consigned Pens?

We list your pen across multiple platforms to ensure maximum visibility and the best chance of a successful sale. This includes:

• Our established marketplace at ChatterleyLuxuries.com

• Exclusive collector networks and private clients

• Pen shows and industry events

• Direct outreach through our curated email list and social channels

Your pen is marketed directly to serious collectors who know what they’re looking for.

Can I Set a Minimum Price for My Pen?

We work closely with you to determine the right selling price based on market demand, past sales, and collector interest. You’re welcome to suggest a minimum price, but we’ll always give honest feedback. Our experience and data are why we have the success we do—and why you’ve arrived at this page 🙂 Pricing plays a big role in getting results.

The goal is to get you the highest possible return—without pricing it out of the market.

How Do You Market Consigned Pens to Buyers?

Unlike general marketplaces, we specialize in luxury fountain pens and use tailored marketing strategies to reach serious collectors. This includes:

• Professional photography and detailed listings

• Featured placement on our website and social media channels

• Email campaigns to our collector base

• Direct outreach to buyers searching for specific pens

• Exposure through pen forums, shows, and private networks

Your pen isn’t lost in a crowd—it’s marketed directly to people who know what they’re looking for.

What Brands and Models Sell Best on Consignment?

Many high-end fountain pens sell well on consignment, especially when they have collector appeal, limited production, or strong brand recognition. Some of the most sought-after pieces include:

• Namiki Emperor and Maki-e models

• Montblanc Writers Edition and Patron of the Arts series

• S.T. Dupont Limited Editions

• Pelikan Maki-e and Raden designs

• Visconti special releases and artwork series

That said, we’ve successfully consigned valuable pens from a wide range of brands—both modern and vintage. If your pen has rarity, craftsmanship, or collector interest behind it, there’s a strong chance we can help it find the right buyer.

Do You Consign Pens from International Sellers?

Yes, we work with consignors worldwide. If you’re located outside the U.S., you’re welcome to consign with us as long as you handle all shipping, tracking, insurance, and customs requirements.

We’re happy to provide guidance on best practices for international shipping to ensure your pen arrives safely.
