Cross Tech 3


Quigus

Recommended Posts

Today, I went to me nearest art supply store to buy a new pen with some money I made. When I was there I saw the Cross Tech 3 and I bought it for around 75$. Do you think I paid too much?

Hi, welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. If you like the pen then you didn't pay to much.

There are lots of pens that cost $50, 75, 100, 150. The 'middle class of pens'.

 

Often members started off, with a $30 :yikes: . Then they edge up, to :yikes: $50.

After that it becomes easy to say $80 for a Pelikan 200 is a good price, or start looking at $200 pens.

 

Used modern pens on the whole still work, and are so much cheaper than new.

 

As Jar said, if you like the pen, you didn't pay too much.

 

That you can buy a pen on Ebay for cheaper has nothing to do with it....even if you can buy a pen on line.

 

You went to the shop, liked the looks, liked the feel and how it wrote....so you got a deal. ;)

Fountain pens, paper and inks are fun, or we'd not be here.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
