    Heck of a business model. They sell you junk, you throw it into the trash, they keep your money!

    I imagine most of their sales are in stalls, where the customer can try it before buying it. In addition, people who use fountain pens more often are knowledgeable about fixing a scratchy nib or week feed.

    But yes, what a business model!
