Visconti Rembrandt Red Calligraphy Set - Good Deal?

[inlovewithjournals]

I put the nib and barrel in the post yesterday. We have a mailroom where I work and the friendly staff are great with these types of packages, both personal and business. I put everything in the envelope, along with the address label. Then had this exchange as a member of staff filled out the postal form:

"Is it returned merchandise?"
"Yes."
"What is it?"
"A pen."
"A what?"
"A pen."
"A pen?"
"Yes." She looked at me.
"Okay and what is the value of the item?"
I thought about how much it would be to replace the whole thing if this barrel got lost so I replied, "$120."
"WHAT??! For a pen??" Eyes very big.
"It's a special pen."

She: Me:

And then we had a great conversation about fountain pens!
