    Default National Stationery Week- most expensive stationery

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/c...9-4e4817438756

    Have these guys never heard of really blingy pens? There must be Montblanc LEs out there costing more than that Aurora. Mind you the gold plated staples at £2.30 each look tempting....
    Some days, it's hardly worth chewing through the leather straps....

    Nah, I mean more in concept "most expensive blah blah blah" articles add nothing to the world and aren't terribly interesting content, but are good for sharing on social media and getting page views (which in turn leads to ads).

    Ohhh... ok

    I thought it was relevant. I know what you mean but the Aurora Bespoke was something i did not know about. I would love to have an old time stapler like that though. NOT in gold lol but that style.

    The least expensive finish large size stapler from that maker is still about $200 USD. It is cool looking, but not that cool.
