To Buy Or Not To Buy ... Montblanc

[sirach]

I have always been a Montblanc snob... saying that they were overpriced and not worth it...but... In a recent topic, I did admit that if the price were right, I would take a closer look. So, somebody offered a "Montblanc Meisterstück Le Grand Fountain Pen and Meisterstück Le Grand Rollerball Pen" set It is a 2006 set and it is in good order.... the best part... $125. Is it worth the plunge. That would be my pen money for a few months... and my wife would probably tell me that it is my Christmas present too... What is the word... take the plunge... or stand my stodgy anti-MB stance...

yes definitely, provided it is an authentic set.

[emiliovillegas]

Go for it! If it is a real one you won't need a new pen anyway! You will have plenty to enjoy and play with!

[novarider]

If you dont want it I DO!!!!!!

Easily worth the price, in fact doubled it would be a bargain, so, follow Hari's indication. Verify authenticity.

how do I verify authenticity

[hari317]

Hey, That is a 149 i think. what is written on the FP's cap band? the FP looks authentic and probably the RB is authentic too. Jump at this offer, your friend is a saint.

Well, the fountain pen looks legit. Can't comment on the roller ball. I'd say it's worth a shot but I'd pay using PayPal or a credit card just to be safe.

Hari's right, it is a 149! The deal is now unbelievably sweet!

If you trust this seller and get these pens, you are so lucky.

Buy 'em!

Take the plunge, that sort of deal doesn't come along everyday!I

what is the easiest way to tell if they are real? He says they are 2006...

FPN Members, Jar and Hari, know their pens. If the pens in the photos are the pens you will receive, you can proceed with confidence. Those pens look authentic.

What a steal. I would have sent my money by now, plus a bonus, out of guilt.

Buy them and take them into a Boutique for a spa day.

[OcalaFlGuy]

I'd go out of my way to kick a MB but I think even *I* would have gone for that deal.

 

 

And a You Betcha, Yeah Buddy on the spa treatment too.

When you get it look for a number on the center cap ring of the fountain pen.

Congratulations. Deal of the Decade, I love Montblanc and have never come across anything close to this. Way to go

[tenney]

That is a sweet deal.

 

I do understand, though, the "fear" of "are they real".

[Montblanc owner and lover]

It's me or the rollerbal is not the 146 as say but a 144???the screw lock is greater on the 146!but may be it's me don't see well on the picture.......i hope so for you

 

it's a very sweet price when you think that new it is

-525€ for a 146 FP

-620 for a 149 FP

-305 for a 146 roller

-290 for a 144 roller

 

for me it's a 149 FP and a 144 roller so it make 910€ but it's the price new evidently and yours seems deteriorated...but autentics so if i was you i'ld buy them withouth hesitations!You'll see they are nice and smooth writers and you'll see it's like a drug to write with them!
