Can you confirm those prices? At the moment it shows that the pen costs nearly twice as much outside of India as it does inside. Thanks.

So, it begs the questions; Why the big markup for overseas? and what makes this such a good deal for overseas customers at twice the domestic cost?

Pen number will be mentioned in a Certificate Card which will be sent with box.

 

The Certificate Card will have the Pen Number, Customer Name and Country.

Dear Sir,

 

Thank you and EOC for raising this query

 

Pricing is decided basis many factors. Some important factors are like handling & shipping costs, Service Costs, PayPal Fees and also considers local subsidies. My costs for international buyers has to be higher, cannot be at Par with domestic costs.

 

Also, this pricing is product dependent.

 

Come July due to local tax law changes, my Indian prices have to increase by 18%, as subsidies are being taken off. At that time local INR prices will increase, so have to factor that too, while deciding price of this product.

 

 

I have tried to be most reasonable with the costs as always. I have more or less maintained the Ratio of difference between Domestic Pricing Vs International Pricing.

 

I hope this clarifies. I wish to be transparent with all my clientele with respect to pricing.

 

Please feel free to ask more questions as it helps clarifying this.

Then it will be okay if I ask an Indian friend to buy one for me and ship it to me themselves?

 

Cool. :)

While I appreciate your "transparency", I find the economics of of this particular Group Buy a bit baffling. Surely the idea of a group buy (and all the free marketing on FPN) is to make the pen more attractive. Most (if not all) other countries that pens sell abroad actually make the purchase cost more attractive so as to actually sell the product. The European and American companies actually reduce the export price buy dropping the purchase tax. 17% for the UK and 20% for Germany. As a rule the actual postage does not increase the purchase price by between 50 and 100%. If you sold on Ebay you would have significantly greater selling costs anyway.

 

Even allowing for the proposed increase to Indian customers of 18% and lets say 10% P&P...(but less the Ebay cost)..the purchase cost of $116 (Australian) for me against $67 (Australian) for Indian buyers pushes this pen into a whole different league as it were.

 

Or am I missing something?

Just ordered. Couldn't resist the orange. This will be my first Indian Pen (although I may go in on the Ranga group buy, too)!

 

Thank you for the great offer.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
