Nice price for this pen -- I've got a Persona and it's a beautiful writer, very well balanced. The cap clicks in place nicely when posting and capping. Also, you have the Lamy guarantee and nib swap advantage too.

What a lovely pen. I didn't know Lamy has such pens! I hope you find someone with the means to buy this beauty soon.

just so y'all know, I bought a used persona and sent it in for a nib swap earlier this year--but was charged $155 for a new nib. no nib swap for OOP Persona.

That's funny. the LamyUSA site lists the price for a new nib as $100...

Yeah, I know--$155 doesn't sound right to me at all, especially given the $100 MSRP on a replacement. If the pen is in mint condition, they're usually pretty good about swapping. Heck, I sent Lamy USA my circa early 1980's 2000 which had a nib issue. It was a M nib and I asked to have it switched to an OM nib, while they were at it. The only charge I had to pay was return shipping!

I fear those days are over, MYU.

 

I just sent in an EF 2000 for a nib swap. Pen was used, but not abused. I included a note that said the nib was scratchy and not doing it for me, and that I'd like to switch to an OM nib. I got a call from Bob as soon as he received it- he said that he can't do a swap on a used pen without charging me $50. $50 is the cost of the nib unit, making a swap the same price as my just ordering another nib unit from him. This was left to me as a VM last week. I've had a week from hell so I've not called him back, but I think I'm SOL- and I imagine everyone else will be from now on; perhaps they made some policy change?

 

I'm going to give him a call back tomorrow and ask if I can send in my newer F 2000 (little over a month old, used even less) and get the swap to OM. Definately not what I've read about Lamy service, even going against what critics of the 2000 like Biffybeans have said about their willingness to take care of such requests. At the very least, I expect a new EF nib, or for the EF nib it has already to be smoothed out some.

 

*sigh*
