Another Bay Of Evil Fake

[Flounder]

Hmmm... Perhaps there is some sort of 'Adventure of the Six Napoleons' aspect to this we're missing. Best bid a monkey or so JIC

The converter itself is one of the best dead give-aways I've seen for a fake, they didn't even try to make a MB replicate of a converter.

 

Plus the plating on the nib alone is horribly obvious. Even some of the Chinese branded pens do a better job at plating.

 

I'm surprised the seller sold it anyways, despite the illegalities of it.

Haha, amazingly ambitious pricing for such an overt fake

[Paul80]

Well it ended at £117. Think I will dig out my fake collection and make a killing as eBay are obviously allowing the sale of fakes now. as long as you say it's a fake it must be ok

I see a trend developing here.

$1500 for shipping? Does it have use of a private jet or something?

Delivered to you by a real, life-size, fake unicorn and packaged in real fake fairy dust.

They couldn't even cut the nib properly - instead of bisecting it, the left side is clearly thinner than the right and the 'gold' is sloughing off.....

I like his 100% negative feedback rating.

100% of 2,000+ ... wouldn't that usually mean account suspension after dropping below 50-75% positive?

After looking on eBay, I'm pretty sure that image was Photoshopped.

Still amusing...

The printing on the underside of the box lid is horrid, also.

No, it was NOT photo-shopped - honest. I swear on my MB149.

(but a little knowledge of HTML comes in handy)

Here's one that isn't photoshopped or creatively enhanced...

Question is, do people bid on these without reading the bottom line? That, and if they really want to buy a fake, why do they bid when they can pick one up for less than half that from one of those fake sellers direct.

This one is even better and I didn't alter it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131380989277

 

Item description:

 

This is a very unusual design.

It came from China- need I say more.

Lovely pen.

There are slight marks on the black part of the pen that you hold, but not really noticeable.

On the ring of pen it says MONL BLANC MELSTERSTUCK.

Obviously bad spelling in China.

Most people wouldn't notice this unless they were studying the pen. Still looks great with the snow top.

Nice Christmas present.

It is probably a good pen - looks very much like a jinhao, but you can pick up a good chinese pen for £2.50 rather than £40.

 

That seller certainly has some gaul to be selling such obvious fakes.

[Chrissy]

IMHO fake Montblanc pens listed on ebay used to be removed quickly. Now it seems like they aren't.

 

I actually believe that Mb don't really care if fakes are sold in the second hand market as long as their boutiques are selling the authentic stuff.

I can't stop laughing! The Charles Rice creations are fantastic, including the details! "Stepped on by a yak" and "2K yellow gold", not to mention the "Sorry" condition.

 

Well done!

 

Appreciatively,

Daniel

 

PS Is it too late to order one of those for Christmas delivery?
