    Red face WTB - Lamy Al-Star in ruby red

    Hallo,

    I'm looking for a Lamy Al-Star in ruby red, preferable in Europe, but will consider worldwide. Thank you.

    Michaela

    Eta: corrected the pen's name, thanks to Chrissy.

    They regularly come up on ebay. There is one currently listed that is in Germany. ebay item #401720196952
    They are never cheap.

    I know that, thank you for looking. Unfortunately I never have luck with ebay biddings, they always go up over my budget. I know the ruby one is not cheap, but I'm normally not willing (or able) to pay 100 €/$ and more for just a Al-Star. After all, it's an Al-Star...

    I think you're mixing up two different pens here. There is the all plastic Safari that comes in many colours, and there is the aluminium with see-through plastic section Al-Star that all comes in many colours. They are different pens.

    I know the difference. Okay, my writing wasn't clean - it's a Al-Star, a bit more expensive than the all-red regular Safari, but still not worth (at least for me!) 100 bucks and up.

    Sorry but it's not called a Safari Al-Star. The ruby red aluminium pen is called an Al-Star. There is also a bright red Safari, but they are very cheap by comparison.
    All of the Lamy models and their standard colours are listed on the web-site. Lamy Pens The Al-Star is on the list and the Safari is further down.

    oh, just looked again at the Lamy website -you're totally right, I always thought of the Al-Star as "Safari Al-Star"
    Yep, indeed I meant the Al-Star, not the all-red Safari, sorry for the confusion...
