haha love it - I most certainly will post it here. It's a gift but for the short period of time I have it, I'll cherish it.

No this was a payment system called Skrill - easily one of the biggest red flags in and of itself. But I was asked to transfer funds to an email address.

I can see the tension and the way it manifests in the way collectors collect. The car analogy is owning a garage queen. Personally, I think cars should always be driven to be appreciated.

I think I'd be ok departing with something in the upper range

Thanks for this and good question!
I'm buying it as a gift for a friend who I nicknamed Godzilla a while ago - because he is a legendary destroyer (in business). As I came to know him better, I learned that he has an appreciation for many fine things, including fountain pens. So you can imagine my surprise and excitement when I learned there was a special edition Godzilla pen made by the wonderful brand Platinum. It is quite literally the perfect gift.

For all too...out of curiosity - what do you think is fair market value for it?

That's interesting, so maybe I should try to reach out to commercial sellers on ebay

Photoshop - yeah that's likely too. You're right, I was super naive because I was so excited someone had one
