Omas Information

Too late, you did.

I have spent thousands of dollars on Manu's pens, but he won't answer a simple question via the FPN, his website or ebay, despite the many attempts. The silence is deafening.

 

This is not the way to treat existing, and potential repeat, customers to a nascent brand desperately in need of cash and good will.

 

same happened here. But I guess when you have that many customers you can be selective.

Nice insinuation. I can only assume your user name is ironic.

 

And while I'm sure that in all probability it did occur to you that the 'deafening silence' descended after said purchases, you simply could not overcome the childish urge to lob boulders at those betters passing from your vantage under a bridge.

 

I will not feed the faceless, risible internet troll. Good day.

 

No, actually it did not occur to me, so I can see your point. And I apologize for not recognizing my betters. What I would suggest in a case such as your is this: if a seller does not respond to queries, then just forget him/her and the item.

I mean, whatever was promised and whatever ends up on eBay, I'm glad I went on an OMAS binge about a year before they went kerplunk.

Any updates?

I read a article about his revival and he appears to have renaming it Armando Simoni Club while maintaining all the Omas materials/designs. The new website is at ascpens.com, and I am pretty sure it is the same Manu who posted this thread earlier. I have no idea why he hasn't come back on this thread, but I suppose he's been busy with his new business. Good news for all the anxious fans of Omas who were waiting!

Yes, it is the same Manu. The latest on ASC will be found on the Italian forum: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/321957-new-armando-simoni-club-brown-arco-banded-armadillo-version/

 

As to why he hasn't come back on this thread, I can only speculate: he was here to promote his new venture and his selling of old OMAS stock, and he seems to be doing quite well without additional advertisement (here)..

I think you will have the most success contacting him through his website. He doesn't respond directly, but the people who work with/for him will respond within a day or two. I recently purchased two Arco's this way. They were very responsive and sent numerous pics. The prices are reasonable as well. I highly recommend buying this way.

Please forgive my overlooking it, but what is his website, please?

I note a "suggested" price is quoted. Does anyone know if that is the actual price?

Unless ASC starts selling through other retailers the suggested price is probably the price.
