I found a Lamy Studio selling for rather cheap: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LAMY-BRAND-NEW-STUDIO-067-BLUE-FP-F-NIB/382562424687?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Da77f21f080574b5ba3949fc29db36f37%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D183440618342%26itm%3D382562424687&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A52855f95-bf3e-11e8-864a-74dbd180c78d%7Cparentrq%3A06ddfa141660aadca487c534fffb3030%7Ciid%3A1

 

Is this a fake pen?

 

My suspicion is largely because of the price.

I don't know whether one can trust random ebay sellers anyway. For those who buy from ebay, how do you ensure you don't get ripped off? Or is it always just a crapshoot?

Doesn't look, fake, the price seems par for the course for Studios. Make sure you're ok with that shiny slippery grip... I am.

Inexpensive and or cheap doesn't necessarily mean fake. Educate yourself on the product you want to acquire.... Fountain pens, Motorcycles, Cars, Books, Art, et al...........

Then consider a purchase........

Pen is real at a good price point............

 

raghavtlwr..Welcome and enjoy your time here.......

Wow!

I didn't know Lamy Studios were so inexpensive!

 

These things easily sell for 2x to 2.5x this price (shipping included, otherwise 3x)!

 

Thanks everyone!

The product and pricing look fine.

Are you referring to Indian pricing?

      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
