because Bexley are overpriced
NorrisBHey again @NorrisB and @Pantsu_Bear,
I think it's true that many fountain pens in this price range have gold nibs, and that a great many fountain pens with steel nibs can be found at lower prices, including some demonstrators and some piston-fillers.
I also think that everyone is 100% entitled to their own assessment of value/worth of any product, and we really want Massdrop to be a place where members continue to share these kind of opinions - both for the benefit of other members considering whether to participate, and to better inform us as buyers when we're looking at new brands to make available here.
FWIW, here is Bexley's "About Us" page: http://www.bexleypen.com/category-s/1825.htm
The only thing I noticed on this pen that was not specifically featured in the photos or description is that the pens are assembled and polished by hand, and that the piston itself is metal (brass, I think), as opposed to plastic. I've included photos below of the Red.
Value can be subjectively and/or objectively critiqued, and many people may agree with you - I'm not making a judgement here about that, but I wanted you to know that your feedback is heard and try to provide the best information I can about the pen and why Bexley sets the prices as they do.
I hope that is helpful. As always, feedback is welcome. Have a great weekend, y'all!

NorrisBThey're limited production, good quality, made in the US, and they offer a lifetime warranty. I prefer to pay a bit more and know I'm getting something good - and know that I'm supporting local workers.
