Yes, but you receive a free bottle of Edelstein ink if you spend 150 or more on Pelikan products... Whoopee...

You guys are lucky. The new US price list for an M600 with EF says $595 :yikes: :lticaptd:

With a little timing and some eBay-fu you could buy a MB 149 AND a MB 146 for that amount...

It's a sad state of affairs when you can buy an M1000 from overseas cheaper than you can buy an M600 in the USA.

Yeah, know what you mean. I have to import everything as none of the "higher end" pens are available in SA. But then I import from the UK normally as pricing in the USA is absolutely insane. (Well, on European/UK products)

What I have also found is that Courier services from the UK are substantially cheaper than from the States as well and in some cases, free, depending on the purchase value.

      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..

      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
