Months back I bought the Cross pen from another Indian online shop for about the same price. Actually these pens never sell at 100% of the recommended retail price.

 

Even in a shop (in USA) no dealer will ask for more than 80% of marked price.

 

Unfortunately in India the dealers like Williampenn charge the full price. And worst of all Montblanc Boutiques (the authorised dealer Entrack) charges 20% more than MSRP ( that means an Indianin India pays 1.5 times for Montblanc that an American pays in the USA)

these prices are good enough, if somebody wants to avoid the hassle of importing the pens, and wants to get them quickly.

i agree...the pricing on indian pens is ridiculous on the e-commerce websites.

 

I asked for the fee for nib exchange on my unused Alfred Hitchcock(but beyond the warranty) ,there estimate was 36000 rs (600$)... now that is just :wallbash:

^^ That's a good price anywhere.

True bliss: knowing that the guy next to you is suffering more than you are.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
