I know it's crude to talk about the money, but £330 VAT..!

Beautiful! It has a kind of Art Deco design going on there. Love it.

Plus the Euro being down in value helps a little.

As soon as I saw that I went to the Cult Pens website to order only to discover they have it for £1,995 with VAT (£1,662.50 ex VAT). If you can order it for £330, please PM me, I'll take it.

I suspect that it's the VAT that's £330....
Of course, you don't pay that if you're outside the EU, so that brings the price down from unspeakable to merely exorbitant......

Indeed, the VAT alone is £332.50; if one has one's own business, it may be possible to reclaim the VAT as 'stationery' costs.

It's actually a pretty reasonable price compared to some of the Pelikan Raden pens.

[SIR]

and nicer too, i think.

DOH! :redface:

Still, if anyone has this for £333, I'll take it!

I'd even pay £333 and £332.50VAT.
