I bought this pen at a garage sale for $1 and this is my research to attempt to find out if it is real or fake.

Great video, that is what is challenging about reselling, what is real or just a good fake. It makes me nervous. Julie

THAT'S REAL WONDERFUL JOB

Yeah it's fake
C'mon get it listed for 200 and don't worry.. that's a fair amount of research and it's genuine for sure!! If it sells then found not to be real just take the hit and let them send it back.. but if it's not kerching kerching KERCHING!! Lol
Love what you do 😀😀 -
Thanks for this education, I will start checking the bags of pens and pencils that I usually toss aside at sales, & thrift stores lol great video!

after seeing this video. I have done a little more digging on the internet. And it also seemed that running the serial number which I have done on the search engines if it pulls up a bunch of different pens then you don't have a real Montblanc. I ran the serial number thru Google search with no results.Which I read is good.

I recently bought a Montblanc pen off a local BBS. Like you, I researched it and still wasn't sure it was real. My pen was a special edition and had very little info on the web. I took the pen to Montblanc in the Galleria and they authenticated it for me at no charge. I think that if you don't want a certificate they won't charge you. I just wanted to cover myself before I sold it on eBay. I ended up selling it on a pen forum that I had asked questions on. My biggest concern was that someone would buy my authentic pen and return a fake pen to me. Everything worked out and I made $850!

If it's a fake it's most probably the best I've ever seen. The good thing about gaining this knowledge on mont blanc pens is you can address all the questions buyers are most likely to be wondering right there in your listing. You know everything a real one should have and according to that you have it. A buyer will know you've done your research on it before hand which is a huge ease when spending that kind of money.

Interesting video. My hubby has a Mont Blanc sterling silver necklace and cologne so Mont Blanc does other things then pens which I think is good to know he bough it at the actual store the necklace but the cologne was from a perfume store it smells amazing. Anyway, your pen looks legit very detailed I hope it is! Tfs

Good Morning, I have a question if you don't mind answering. I am just starting to sell on ebay. I just love you videos. I'm even thinking about starting hog videos to do haul videos. Back to my question do you put your stuff on eBay as an auction or just as a straight sale? Thanks Thelm
