Mannie,
I agree with Gary. I also have a couple Eagle blanks that are pens, one very similar to this one. I have it priced at $295 (floor) to $395 depending on the show. I have also had people look, but not purchase; however, the number of hours in the preparation of the blank should be represented in the price you ask. Eagle can't sell his blanks for the dollars per hour they deserve, but we SHOULD try to educate the buying public about the difference between hand-made and laser-cut. Ken's flag pen SELLS at these prices, why shouldn't Eagle's???
OBVIOUSLY, you are entitled to sell the pen at any price level. I just believe that Eagle's blanks are truly "one-of-a-kind" hand-made art. Presented as such, the price is LOW.
I have asked potential customers how many Mont Blancs have been sold at $1500 that are NOT as unique??? So, why WOULDN'T this pen be worth the same amount??? (So far, it hasn't worked, but it will!)[
