They sent me a used fountain pen, and lied about it.
I am a fountain pen collector, so it is very important to me that what I buy is a new product. I was a bit careful after reading the reviews here, but I thought I'd still give it a try. I specifically wrote an e-mail inquiring if all of the fountain pens they were selling were in 100% new condition. I got a response assuring me that every pen they would sell were new. When I received the pen, I already had a bad feeling. The feeder had stains on it. But I couldn't tell for sure, because it was my first fountain pen of this brand. It was just a nagging feeling, because something was off, but I had no proof. When I bought another fountain pen of this brand, I had my certainty. I knew that a new pen of this brand would be SEALED (the one they sent me was opened), and it wouldn't have any stains anywhere. It just feels so awful being lied to like that. I asked a specific question, and what I got was a lie. Plain and simple. And of course, I paid a full price for a used pen. I have no problems with it, when companies sell used fountain pens, but they should declare them as such. Otherwise it's scam. On top of that, lying to your customers like that is very... questionable, to put it very politely.
