Don't see the point of this drop especially for folks interested in fountain pens. This fountain pen is available online easily at$69-$75 at various authorized dealers and also on eBay. The price of the fountain pen at the lowest price in this drop will be 74.99.
dbhatiaThe listing clearly states $74.99 includes a bottle of Monteverde black ink. That ink typically runs $12.50 a bottle making the pen $62.49. That's all with free shipping on this drop. Most pen retailers charge shipping as well. So, if one were interested in this pen it's a pretty good drop. I'm on the fence for an italic since I can't decide if I'd be OK with the grip.
