I have only had one person keep coming at me to buy a pencil. I finally sold my Platinum MT-350 to him.

And thank you. Still can’t believe I got it for $15 from you.

Hmm, I am not jealous because of the collection. It’s normal that someone is smarter/better/faster/… than me, so also there are a lot of people out there with nicer pencil collections ;-). I am happy to see details of some of my holy grail pencils here.
What drives me more crazy are those stupid mercari auctions. For example the Mistral PS-100 for 3000JPY on there. How can a seller be so dumb? And yes, I am jealous that s/o else saw it earlier! Actually I wanted to stay away from that platform because of this, but I couldn’t resist, lol

Holly Moly! Could someone tell me (forgive me if the information I request has already been shared, I haven’t read the whole post) how old is this person and what year did he start their collection?

There being both a conical and a tactile version tip hairline PDs is what inclines me to think this is another finish rather than scratches
Edit: ignore me, Heath is right and that seems way more like the titanium version

Pretty sure this is the standard Titanium version, not a hairline.

Fourth pencil from the right! What pencil is it? (Looks like I’ve seen my next target, hopefully it won’t cost 35K).

Pentel psd5/pwp15 (specialists here might be able to distinguish). Your price expectation is quite on spot

If you see a pencil on a tray with 8 sealed mechanicas, you can figure out that it won’t be cheap haha
BTW there’s one without the sticker for sale now https://jp.mercari.com/item/m75495312925

I don’t share photos of my collection at all, because I had a pretty terrible experience when I did it once. I had posted a photo of two Pentel QXs on Reddit and got a lot of pings asking if I wanted to sell or trade. I politely declined all of them. But one person was really really persistent and started throwing out offers. I declined the first one (again, very politely), but they kept sending more. When I stopped replying, they sent multiple nasty messages with swear words and insults and how I didn’t deserve to have the pencils 
I’m absolutely fine with people pinging me and asking me if I want to sell or trade - it’s a big part of collecting and I encourage it. But this was just really unsavory. As is, I collect pencils for my own enjoyment.
Anyway, @Thomas you’re welcome to ask as many questions as you’d like 
And this community has definitely made me feel more comfortable, so I’ll try and share more photos when I have the time.

It would be a PWP15. The PSD5 was an export out of Japan, so only the PWP15 would have a JIS sticker on it.

Hey Z, nice to have you here! That’s funny how you found this place, but awesome because we need to know what you know about a Porsche Design Classic in a hairline finish?? 
Details further up in this thread. Also, good to see you’re alive! Haven’t seen you on Reddit in a while and wondered if the Covid got you!

Welcome to the forum, xiao! This has been a very active forum lately, with many interesting discussions about vintage mechanical pencils. Feel free to share some knowledge or photos of your collection if you ever feel like so

Good to see you, Xiao! Long time no see. Yes, you are quite the legend and great to see you’ve found this place (thanks to atxalias!)… but now, have you seen this Korean collector? It’s mind boggling beyond belief, the extent of his collection.

I’m surprised… can you elaborate what you mean by this? Is the Korean collector closing up his showcase here?

From him:
I am off work now. It’s hard because there’s so much work.
Are you spending your day happily?
Unfortunately, communication with me will be limited to May 31, 2023.
It’s not much time left, but I hope it will remain as a good memory.
Now I have to go to sleep to go to work in the morning.
thank you
