Hi

 

I was wondering what these pen boxes are actually worth? they are 100% genuine pen boxes with service guide and outer box. They usually come with all the recent pens such as the meisterstuck and starwalker models. Ive got about 12 of these new boxes laying around, so wanted to know if they worth anything. Thanks (pen is shown for reference only :roflmho: )

 

P.s i would post this in the for sale section, but dont have enough posts to do it at the moment :(

I do remember a thread or two about people buying the boxes, but for the life of me dont remember what the threads titles were. Theres interest for them thats for sure.

 

Now bottles? I'd pay well for emtpy MB ink bottles. :-)

 

Do you not need the warranty information on the back page of the info booklets?

Lol! I think people are generally only interested in boxes for limited edition pens. These are just standard boxes for people who have brought the pen on its own. All the service guides are unstamped. The ones that were stamped, ive kept. But all 12 boxes come with unstamped service guide books.

Some of us like even the standard boxes, too... :)

Many fake-Montblanc sellers would like to get some genuine Montblanc boxes with a blanc warranty leaflet ...

Well, one of them is!

 

I bought one for a 146 that I had. These were genuine boxes by the way - I'm guessing from the days when MB didn't just sell through boutiques and a shop that stopped selling MBs offloaded them as a job lot. Obviously some customers weren't bothered about taking the box home with them...

That must be one of the most popular reasons for buying them.... :angry:

ebay used to remove them as "encouraging illegal activity" but I'm not sure if they still do so.

There appears to be a few fake star walkers in the uk shown with real boxes on sale via online auction sites . A Joules Verne was on sale in a real box at my local pawn shop till I pointed out it was the wrong colour.

I have about 250 mint boxes with blanc warranty leaflets from Montblanc and other brands from the 1990th in my cellar store room. What shall I do with them? :huh: :unsure: :wacko:

Just in case any member of the FPN regard this guy with any sort of suspicion (numerous boxes can set the authenticity alarm bells ringing) I can vouch for him as being a 100% decent & honest man.

 

We live about four miles apart and I have dealt with him on a few occasions, with high end Montblanc items, and I am always welcomed into his family home.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
