How Much Does This Worth¿

[Inky.Fingers]

As much as I am willing to pay for it.

 

Too many ppl asked how much my pen's worth. I am running out of ideas... You?

[Ghost Plane]

A cold stare accompanied by, "Why do you ask?"

[Inky.Fingers]

A cold stare from me wont work as i have a face of a joker.

[Ghost Plane]

Try, "More than you can afford to lose" while holding it out of their reach.

[Manalto]

"What a question. Didn't your mother teach you anything?"

[jar]

As foretold, a maiden rose from the lake to present this to me, and ever since then Lizzie squirms in her seat whenever I take it out. She points and says "You don't really think that thing makes you King." But she still likes to stroke it.

When it works, it's cheap. When it doesn't, it's expensive.

[cattar]

What are you offering?

 

 

Eta- Because, unless wére conducting a transaction, it doesn't matter.

No problem I just give them a ridiculous number and they are happy

You could price it in nanofirkins of platinum at the spot price. My Lamy 2000 cost me about five million.

 

 

My version of Cattar's proposal would be to ask whether they are thinking of buying one? Diversionary, or potentially a new user or even a profit.

unless i am wielding the Excalibur, or when i am with my Gladiator...i wouldnt..too shy

 

and i have short hands..they tend to snatch it from my hands.

 

i am willing to try Siracha or fish sauce as an ink additive, perhaps?

I usually tell them the truth, but I usually carry a pen that is worth less than $30 to work. It is already regarded "expensive" by them.

 

And then usual respond is it is beautiful but so expensive, and my usual response is yes, if you compare it with bic stic. However, if you compare it with nice pen such as uniball, then it is not, because I refill the ink. Tons of ink for $10-$20 (normal blue or black ink).

I generally say "More than your cheap rump is willing to pay if you break it....," unless it's my older sister....she is the one that started me on better quality pens...then I say "less than your Montblanc"

First you have to effect a far off look and then talk slowly as if to no one in particular.

 

"I killed a man in Venezuela. It was a messy fight. This was my prize... (long pause to let the words sink in, then snap back to attention, look at the person in thr eyes and say in a chipper tone) Gee, I guess I didn't pay anything for it. Not bad for a free pen, eh?"

 

Walk away, don't look back.

 

Feel free to pick a different far away land that is vaguely violent.

I usually say priceless. They respond with a puzzled look, and I go on to explain that the solid gold tip was made in the Victorian era and aren't made anymore. A display of flex writing is the final touch.

 

After that, they understand.

[Inky.Fingers]

all very good answers. maybe i should use a simple coverup ..like oh..this? a chinese knockoff 0.99c on ebay?

[fly_us]

Well, just tell the price you paid for it.

 

Except if you wife is asking. RAISE ALERT WHENEVER SHE ASKS THAT.

[Inky.Fingers]

She didn't bother .. instead took the credit card and bought more hand bags and shoes, while the closet is already full of bags and shoes.

[praxim]

Do the shoes have closed toe sections? Prop them up to use as pen holders.
