This is a niche market if anything is...
I dabble in fountain pen collecting. Fountain pens can range in price from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars, and like anything else they need cleaning and servicing occasionally. I just had one of my pens serviced by Pentiques, which is located in Arizona and does business by mail. Not a tremendously expensive pen: $250 about 15 years ago, but $65 plus shipping to and from Pentiques and it works better than it has in years. Turnaround on this one was about 2 weeks.
They also purchase fountain pens individually and fountain pen collections.
Their website lists prices and and services. They also sell (new and reconditioned) pens, which I will be checking into.
I'm happy with them.
