Good
Honest wear, fully functional. The lowest price for the model.
Kind words
Sample reviews: replace with real customer reviews before launchThe 146 arrived exactly as photographed. Nib is buttery and the saving over retail paid for a bottle of ink and then some.
I was nervous buying a pre-owned Montblanc online. The authenticity notes and serial photos made it easy.
Sold my father’s Dupont to them. Fair offer, paid the same week, and they explained exactly how they priced it.
Questions
Are your pens genuine?
Yes. Every pen is inspected and authenticated before it’s listed, and we guarantee it. If a pen we sold you is ever shown not to be genuine, we refund the full price.
Why are your prices lower than retail?
We buy pre-owned pens from collectors and estates, and source new pens through secondary channels. We keep our costs and margins low so you pay less than you would at a boutique.
Do pens come with a warranty?
Pre-owned pens come with our own 12-month Pen Depot guarantee covering the nib and filling system. Manufacturer warranties apply only where the original papers transfer.
How is shipping handled?
Orders ship insured and tracked with signature on delivery. Shipping is free across Canada on orders over $250.
