$400 For Lamy 2000 Bauhaus?

[siddr90]

Hi,

 

I have an option to buy the Lamy 2000 Bauhaus version for $400 and wondering if that is a good price for the pen?

 

I'm asking because I may sell it in September when the new Dialogue CC is launched. (will sell it if I prefer the Dialogue CC else I'll keep the 2000 Bauhaus)

 

Appreciate your thoughts!

 

Regards,

Sidd

I see used ones going for $1000 on ebay so $400 seems like a really good price.

Lamy 2000 Bauhaus are not easy to find. The price has gone up but there is no guaranty they will be at the same level in a few months or that they will continue to go up.

same level meaning around 800-1000$?

Yes ,I think there will be not many sales in the secondary market of this model in the near future.There was a big demand for them, myself included,and I was not able to source one until a friend find one in Singapore.

Did you purchase the matching Braun razor?

I didn't realise that Braun released a razor at the same time?

I'm sorry. The thread caused me to do some personal research on the design. Here is a link and will explain my question.

Overpriced as hell for $400 in general, but people seem to think they're worth that or more, so if you really want a slightly different color plastic, $400 is about as cheap as you're gonna find it.

They seem to look the same as a regular-production Lamy 2k. What's the difference?

Theyre a very dark blue. Its a really handsome colour, but nigh-on impossible to photograph accurately.

[siddr90]

thanks all, I received it and been using it for the past couple days.

 

It is a lovely dark blue with a smooth and fine EF nib. Really enjoying it. I was expecting the blue to be almost black but in most lighting conditions you can clearly tell the dark blue shade.

 

I suppose you could question if the blue colour is worth the additional price, but in that case you always have the regular 2000 that is as good

Here is the pen.

That is a lovely pen.

I'd love it if it cost within 15% of the normal model!

 

Seriously. $400 MSRP for different color plastic. Lamy is run by absolute lizard people.

 

Glad you like it though. It is definitely collectible and I doubt will lose much, if any value if kept nice, unlike the stainless one which most people hated because it was waaaaaaaay too heavy,

congrats on acquiring the pen. Now, i do not want to demotivate u but i just pack mine back into the box after finishing 1 round of ink. The reason is the pen is scratchier than my Lamy Vista which glides through the paper. Thinking it wont be used much, i think its better that the pen stays in the box.

 

Anyway, enjoy the pen!
