I've been a pen collector for years and, as I understand it, the reason they don't advertise prices is that they offer different levels of discount depending on the seller. On a personal note, I wish you had contacted me about your pen purchase. Cross is fine, but if you were in the market for a Mont Blanc, I would have encouraged you to consider some other more comparable brands.
