They're regularly sub-$200 on endlesspens if you miss this sale.

 

They're a crazy steal at that price, IMO.

 

Also, china appears to be knocking them off (along with the MB Boheme, though the boheme knockoffs aren't branded MB, whereas the lamy dialog 3's are straight counterfeits) for $45-50. I ordered one out of curiosity to compare.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

Any review of the knock off Dialog I could read?

Endless Pens has the Lamy 2000 on sale rather frequently, but not the Dialog.

 

Only if you weren't, or aren't, watching closely enough.

Spoiler

EndlessPens last offered the Lamy Dialog 3 for US$169.99 in Black Friday 2020 sales; that was also when the US$99.99 price was last offered for the Lamy 2000 Makrolon. The latter pen model has come ‘on sale’ since again — for US$119 after the application of a promotion code — so ‘rather frequently’ doesn't really mean much to the consumer's bottom line. I recall seeing the former pen model ‘on sale’ multiple times last year, but just not at the known lowest price EndlessPens has a track record of offering. If you're prepared to buy it at around the US$200 mark, I'm confident there will be opportunities over the course of 2021.

 

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

      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
