Dumas Bargain

[karmakoda]

$482.00 plus $20.00 shipping. Oh my.

This looks like a good price on a Dumas, even if the pen does have a name engraved on it.

Hope the page comes through, the auction has ended.

I was the loser in that auction. It's a really good price, but had the wrong size nib and the engraving would have had to get fixed, so I'm not disappointed that I was outbid. Still, I kind of wish I'd bid up to $500 just to see what would happen...

Yeah, I almost bid too, but the last Dumas I sent to MB to have the cap replaced because of the engraving, they would not do it... Silly really, so the boutique told me that it would have to broken in order for them to fix "hint, hint"

I figured that would probably be the route I would have to take if I had won. All told, though, I think I'd rather wait for the pen I want with the nib I want to come along. There's a fine point on fleabay right now but the reserve seems like it will be pretty high: they have a picture of the box with a $1000 price tag on it!

If your name is S.A.Greenstein then this is a tremendous bargain. Personally I see no point owning a pen with someone elses name etched onto it. I'd avoid this auction like the plague.

For the beautiful Dumas I might change my name to Steve Austin Greenstein, or alternatively, just remove that engraving in about ten minutes buffing it out quickly and easily.

Congratulations to the lucky owner!!!

I wanted to bid on the pen, but lost track of its expiration time.

 

What was the nib size? I didn't see it anywhere on the ad.

 

I would have been willing, for the right price, to have it changed.

[mr. abulia]

It looked to be a medium from the pictures. I was thinking of having it changed, but couldn't afford both the pen and the nib change price. I likely should have bid higher and saved for the change later, but life's too short to have regrets :ltcapd:
