Ok, so I found the pens I like but I never bought a pen over $50 before.

Can anyone please tell me if this is a good price for the pair. I bargained in Hong Kong but wont buy for another 12 hours so please help :-)

$582AUD/513USD

Think I have 6 hours left to respond. :-)

US$513 would be IMHO a decent price to pay for both the ballpoint and the rollerball. I have the Starwalker Rubber as a fountain pen, and it is one of the pens that I use on a fairly regular basis.

My only complaint would be that if you intend to use these pens on a regular basis, after 18 months to 2 years you might notice the rubber begin to "peel away" from the sides of the squares. Nothing major, of course, but if you expecting this pen to remain in pristine condition after abuse, you will be disappointed.

That being said, that issue doesn't stop me from using my pen. And if you really like the look of the pens, I would go for it.

Best Wishes!

I think I'll take the plunge. I probably wont use them as an everyday pen but use them occasionally. I work in IT and there is no way I'm carting the pen around work. I'll buy a Chinese replica for that ;-)
