Why T.j. Maxx And Marshalls Are A Great Place To Buy Pens...

[dem00n]

Hello there,

 

I figure i'd share one of my "secrets" with all of you.

 

As some of you may know, T.J. Maxx and Marshall's are stores that sell discounted brand name products, clothes, cooking ware and so forth.

 

Once in a while in the Jewelry section, they get a pen or two. Not the run of the mill $10 Cross pens they sell there (Those are a good to though!) but good quality stuff.

 

From Marhsall's alone, i bought one Dunhill bullet FP at a heavily discounted price you would never found on ebay, a Dunhill bullet ballpoint pen, very cheap again, one Montegrappa ballpoint pen going for the price of a Parker Insgina and a Paul Smith FP which was a nice adding to my collection.

 

I'm not telling all of you to run to those stores now and check, but next time you happen to be in one, maybe go check it out? Mind you it has been a few years since i bought at a pen at this store (lose interest) but there's a chance ones still there.

 

Have a good one.

Cool! Thanks for the tip!

Amazing what turns up in those stores sometimes, but you really have to sift through a lot of junk to find the good stuff.

 

Great deals are to be had for sure, if you put the time in.

I never would have thought to look! Thanks.

Each time I'm in either store (I think TJ Maxx is the nicer of the two) I do in fact look at the jewelry section for watches & pens. Never seen anything that nice, but I'll keep looking. It also does depend on the location of the store. Go to nicer areas..you'll see nicer things.
