The price listed when I clicked the link was $288. Does Amazon offer different prices to customers?

Did you select broad? The fine and medium are 288.

Round that. It's going to be 199 USD. Personally I wish the OP said 200 USD not 199 USD.

Pens are gone

was it a pricing error??

[dspeers58]

no pricing error, on Amazon, every so often, things will go on sale...but the stock will run out...

I see 288 when I click on broad.

Yea. There were only two pens in stock at that price. This happens with some pens on Amazon. Eg a while ago a few of a certain color of VP went on sale for about $100. Only one size, one color. Probably overstock/discontinued.

That happens occasionally with the VPs, and often with more than one nib/color combo at a time. I have kept an eye on the listing, and have gotten two of the exact combos I wanted at $104 and $106, with free shipping.

 

Sometimes Amazon's pricing algorithms do weird things like that. I once bought a pair of Sheaffer Legacy RB pens for $50 each -- and after I finished the transaction, they went to about $180 each immediately.

I got a Pelikan m800 Italic, (they were selling for cheap all over), and this time through Avalon in Indiana, on Amazon. The price was great and only lasted a short time and then prices scooted back up. The Italic nib just did not write very well so I traded it through Chartpak for a fine and the pen writes beautifully
