    Default Platinum pen price increases coming...

    I just heard from a shop owner that in Japan, the Platinum 3776 series is in for a price hike. Basically, from what he heard, they will be changing the cap bands this year and increasing the price too around ¥12000 (110 USD).
    To put that into context, right now a standard #3667 Century Bourgogne is around ¥9000 (85 USD).

    I have no idea if there will be an effect to the US or European markets!

    Thanks. You just gave me the excuse to go on ebay and buy the soft fine 3776 that I've been eyeing.

    So that impulse buy of a Chartres Blue Fine is actually justified, I think? Yes, that's how I will rationalize it.
