MontBlanc Pen Purchase

I have the opportunity to purchase a brand new Starwalker fine liner(the rollerball refill also fits it) from a retailer who is going out of business for $200.00 out the door. It normally has a retail of $445.00, should I pull the trigger!!!

Well then you are a lucky man. Jump on that puppy. Worst case I'm sure you can flip it for at least a 100 bucks profit.

Buy the pen only if you like the way it writes, not simply because it's a MB or because you have a chance to purchase it at a good price. If you end up not using it, it was no bargain.

If you're going to use it yourself, then by all means. Otherwise, they are difficult to resell, or you take a bath.

Can this be translated to: "Buy the Rolex only if you like the way it tells time, not simply because it's a Rolex or because you have a chance to purchase it at a good price. If you end up not using it, it was no bargain".

The price sounds good. If you don't like it you can always flip it easily.

www.fountainpenhospital.com, or try Amazon. A colleague of mine got the blue one from Amazon, very cool blue, and actually cheaper than the Fountain Pen Hospital.

Great Pen!

I actually bought the Mont Blanc Mystery Skywalker Fineliner about a month ago for $300. I took out the fineliner and put in the rollerball. I loved the weight of the pen and the way it writes. It is a great pen for the money. Good Purchase.

Gorgeous! But I had to look up the word "chuffed" in the urban dictionary!
