The "montblanc Pen Of Disloyalty And Treachery"

[lightless]

Our would-be pornking has had his auction end at $183.50.

PT Barnum was right: "There's a sucker born every minute." Most of them now seem to congregate on eBay...

Yes, too much protestation. I found out the hard way that when someone drags out the kiddies and starts playing the violin (especially the poor adopted orphans) run like hell. It's either a professional sort of a transaction or it's no sale.

I found this on ebay a week or so ago, then showed my friend (also a pen enthusiast), his first words were "WOW! A MONT BLANC FOR THAT AMOUNT!!"

 

Then I scrolled up to the title: "What the....."

 

Then down to the description: He's on the floor laughing his behind off.

 

This thread provided a lot of nice humor.

I bet we'll be hearing about this pen again: "Suddenly, I lost all my clients to a start-up, my wife left me for my father, my children disowned me, and my dog abandoned me... the psychic told me I have a curse and it won't go away unless I can sell this pen!"

Reminds me of this:

Well, I am the sucker that ended up with this infamous pen, I have another star walker that is identical with the exception that the cap is cracked on this one. I am new to Fp collecting but if this is a fake pen it seems inconceivable that all the fine details are the same.

If anyone wants to see additional images of this pen to help with the identifying the possibility of to being a fake, please let me know what to look for

Any updates to this thread?

 

Did you get box and certificate? Or just the pen?

The best place to post this query is the MontBlanc forum.

 

If it really is a fake, you can report the seller on ebay and get a refund.
