[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 577775, member: 1365"] While browsing some fountain pen offerings on Amazon some time ago I noticed a weird deal. A Burgundy Platinum President (fine) pen was up for sale via “Amazon Japan” for $96. Shipping from Japan, normally $18, was not being charged as a “special” of some kind. Normally the price on this pen varies depending on where it’s sold…Japan or USA…typically between $165 to over $300. You DON’T want to know what these things are priced at in Europe. It’s CRAZY! Anyway…I always check the posted shipping time on a deal. This one had a weird statement. It said something like “Item will likely ship in 4 to 6 weeks”. Oh my! So I immediately figure that after an order there would be a loooooong delay followed by the deal somehow evaporating. I’ve had it happen before. The same “Amazon Japan” vendor has offered subsequent identical pens for $165. Anyway I decided what the heck and placed the order. Good luck. Imagine my surprise when I got a notice yesterday that pen had shipped from Japan and via a DHL text message they’re saying to expect delivery on Friday. OK by me. Ya win one every once in a while.
