craigt3365 20,412 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 They are wonderful pens, but incredibly over priced. I'd guess you could find them at the stationary section inside Central Department store or the big one that is just outside it (can't remember the name, but it's on the left as you are headed towards the department store from the beach. I was offered one for $10 in China a few years ago. Refused, and the price went to $5. Refused and it was 2 for $5. As I was walking away I was offered 10 for $10. Too funny....

chris2004 501 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I bought an original quite a few years ago and it was $200. I bought one in the Pattaya market and it was i think @ 500 baht ($17). They look good and wrote OK. Link to post Share on other sites

Swiss1960 3,852 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Mont Blanc has so many different types, you can get them (originals) from $200 to $1'500 Link to post Share on other sites
Blackandwhite 57 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Wicked, thanks. Going to grab a few tonight, will update price Link to post Share on other sites
lonewolf99 1,874 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 If you know your Mount Blanc from a Mont Blanc....you would be aware of the fact that you can tell fthe "copy" by its weight...The copy feels heavy. The real ones are light....$1,500 for a pen.....7 baht in a 7/11 and you get the same result ... ink on paper. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
breadbin 204 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I prefer Cross pens. They have a lifetime guarantee. I have 2 rolled gold fountain pens I was given in 1988 for my 18th. Still unused! Link to post Share on other sites

Payboy 7,113 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Montblanc are not sold in the stationery section. Look for them in the watch / jewelry section at Central. Link to post Share on other sites
fakename 1,202 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think they are 5 baht in the shops! Who would spend big money on a pen? I only use pens to write with, not for show. I use my fake T-shirts to impress, the ones with the alligator on the pocket! Link to post Share on other sites

I use my fake T-shirts to impress, the ones with the alligator on the pocket! If you have the money, they are worth it. And unless you lose it, it'll be the last pen you'll ever have to buy. Fantastic writing instruments. Link to post Share on other sites
