Flex Nib Pens For Less Than $100

I always see a ton of posts out there for people seeking a flexible nibbed vintage pen for less than $100 so I decided to make a list of pens I have with flexible or semi flex nibs at that price point.  Most of these will be user grade pens.  Any problems with the pens will be noted in the link.

Edit:  i have not updated this for ages, if you are looking for a flex pen just shoot me an email and i can show you what i have.

$75 - $100

     $75  waterman 52 with a flexible stub nib

$50 - $75

     $50  Sheaffer ladies ring top pen with gold filled crown on cap and fine flexible nib.
             early pen with a major condition issue, missing lever, hard rubber that holds                                            the lever pin is gone so it is unlikely that the lever can be restored to functional use.
             the pen still works as a coin filler so it could make a good first flexible pen

     $75  Advance Coin filler with four leaf clover accommodation clip and a slight flex nib.
             hard rubber goes from a perfect black and tapers gradually to a medium discoloration.
             gold leafing still present in the recesses of the pens name.

Terms and Conditions:

The pens are first come first serve so whoever emails me first expressing interest gets the pen.  If you do not like the pens condition or even just how it feels in your hands, returns are accepted within a week of arrival, as long as the pen is in the same condition it was sent in.  The buyer pays return shipping.  I am pretty lenient with returns, I just don't want someone to spring the nib or drop the pen and try to return it.  If there is an sac failure within 6 months I will replace the sack for free but the buyer pays for shipping.  Due to problems in the past I only ship to the United States
