Cross Sale, Including Some Chinese Zodiac Fps

[MrThoth]

Cross appears to have just added some sale items, plus is giving an additional 10% off sale items:

Most astonishingly, this seems to include both the red and black versions of the 2012 Year of the Dragon commemorative pen. I don't even think they've made these available through their regular store for some time -- they sure haven't for the red, which commands higher prices on eBay than what they're asking.

 

Since I already have a red, I bought a black. Sure enough, their store only charged me the $240 listed, then subtracted $24 for a final total of $216. At those prices I'm tempted to buy another red. (Their sale page lists the red at $400 -- but if you click through they seem to have the same $240 pricetag on it.)

 

I'm not sure what happened; maybe somebody found a box of old product that got overlooked in a corner of the warehouse (my company did that once). If you want one, get 'em while you can -- either someone's going to correct the mistake quickly, or they're gonna go fast.

No, that's a yearly (or perhaps quarterly) practice

Some time after they discontinue a pen they sell their remaining stock at often sumgai prices through the website.

 

Got some lovely Verve's (a Merlot and a Platinum) at fantastic prices 2 or 3 yrs back. I think I got about the last they had in Europe.

Thanx for the info. I'll definitely remember that in the future.
