SINGAPORE PEN SHOW 2025

Hans Ko 4h ago

Even for S$5 entry fees I would say is too much.
Just a few counters with mostly relatively unknown pens selling at extravagant prices that one can get on AliExpress and eBay for a lot less money with just different branding coming from the same manufacturers (also some do customization with request).
The only original counter is by Waldmann with not many pens on display.
The other one is a counter selling vintage pens from a couple of well known brands like Pelikan, Wateman, Parker, Sheaffer and of course Montblanc in British Pounds with a conversion rate of 2 instead of 1.7145 market rate.
Then there is one counter selling like new MontBlanc with no box and documentation at prices way above what one can get from reputable stores and even online auctions.
My first visit to the 1st Singapore Pen show will also will be my last visit to any Singapore Pen shows.
Really a joke paying S$20 dollars for entry when I only need to spend about 45 minutes to take in the sights and knowing what is on offer.
No wonder every reputable distributors and stores here that I approached and asked if they are participating? The answer is a NO!
