Greetings!
Certainly it'd be a bargain if anybody can find this model at that low price! The GT version of 456 in classic Black with clear window is particularly rare. Good luck…

Indeed the pens are, however, the first editions such as this are rare as they are no longer being made.
The price of these particular lines of pens has increased greatly thanks to ebay. They're commonly priced at 100+ dollars...which, for the collector, might be acceptable.
For the rest of us....nah.
I had the option to buy a "Smog penbbs-355 mark-1" for $100 recently (ebay).
Now...I love Penbbs..but I chose instead to buy a 105 year old flex-nib vintage Mabie Todd-"Swan" of much higher quality and value for $10 less from the UK.
For that much money, there needs to be more longstanding value held. (IMO...YMMV)
