Agree, buy cheap buy twice, or a saying I much prefer from John Ruskin, “It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When

you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay

too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you

bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The

common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a

lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well

to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will

have enough to pay for something better.”


I have stopped buying the jrg from tb as they are crap, but the ones from rizheng are, currently, good. That is of course with the proviso that you are marketing them as a commodity type pen, it isn't and never will be a Mont Blanc or a roman harvest!
