Really Obvious Fake Montblanc Classique Rollerball

[rocketclark2002]

Hi,

 

Long time lurker, first time poster.

 

Love the forum! Lot of really nice and knowledgeable people!

 

I am in the market for a Montblanc 146 for around $200.

In my attempt to leave no stone unturned, I tried all kinds of search entries, one of which resulted in this:

 

Please check this one out!

Seems obviously fake to me, but would like to get a second or third opinion before I report it.

 

Thanks

He\She has 100% positive rating so I'm not sure he or she would jeopardize that.

I just looked at the listing and the pen sounds like it is in a bit of a mess. How a white Snow Flake can turn a pen that wouldn't be worth much by most other manufacture into a £100 pen is beyond me.

Although he/she has 100% positive rating,obviously he/she doesn't know much about Montblanc.

So it's a replica.

I don't suppose the fact that the refill is called "bright moon refill" set off any warning bells...

I'd never heard of Bright Moon before, so Googled them, and they seem to be quite a large firm specialising bin pens and refills for all makes.

 

The other MB that seller is listing seems genuine enough, and top pen is right,the pen is in a bit of a mess, even if genuine

This is an obviouy fake ... ands its one of the poorly made older fakes, I assume its from the mid 90ties early 2000 ...

It is definitely a really obvious fake and I have reported it

He or she might unwittingly do that if they didn't know anything about Montblanc pens. I'm sure no-one is suggesting that the seller knows it's a fake and has deliberately listed it as authentic.

I agree, and looking at the sellers profile and other items,I think it is probably just lack of familiarity. Looking at it closely there are a couple of real warning bells, the barrel and cap rings,the star, and general quality.

Me too. A really bad fake.

As well as the fact that Mb have never made any marbled RB like this. Actually some of these fakes can be quite attractive. It reminds me of a Parker Sonnet pattern

Another very obvious fake

I reported that one yesterday.

 

I see the first one was ended by the seller rather than having been removed by ebay. So the seller has kept his selling record safe.

As others have previously remarked in other threads; if the seller appears to be legit, but uneducated in MB, a polite message pointing out that they risk losing their 100% rating often results in the listing being withdrawn by the seller. If it does not, well ... then is the time to report it.

[Chrissy]

They have now both been taken down

Well done
