You can try peytonstreetpens, they offer used montblancs at reasonable prices and still a hefty discount from retail.

 

Though honestly the best prices are on ebay. Montblanc's are good pens so when buying you just need to buy from someone who has a return policy and inspect the pen carefully (no cracks, nib not severely bent, etc). There's a good chance the montblanc 146 from the 90's that you buy from ebay just needs a flush and you're good to go.

I recommend Dennis at La Couronne du Comte in the Netherlands. The other dealers that have been recommended here have excellent reputations as well.

Only if they actually "want" to ship to you, I would recommend for new items: Appelboom, great prices and good service, they'll ship to you.

Personally I like appelboom. Joost is great to work with, and the service is awesome. They allow you to order the o3b nib, sending the pen directly to Montblanc for a nib swap, as o3b isn't a standard nib grade.

Thank you for that information.

That's very good to know.

I have yet to purchase a pen online, but fountain pen hospital, appelboom, and chatterly luxuries are three I seem to see often.

I tend to go to my local boutique, which I have the fortune of it being only 15 minutes away.

 

I've already discussed the desire to eventually get an 03b, it seems to be 'Available, but you do have to know how to get it ordered' here in the US it seems it's a special order nib swap that requires a little extra effort.

From Iguana Sell they order the O3B direct from MB and then send it on to you. It shows up as selection in their online ordering. They may send one of their pens to MB and then back, but I don't think so. Took about 3 - 4 weeks from order to my door in the States. Great communication and the customer service is outstanding.

      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
