Could anyone explain why this particular drop is so expensive? There is basically no advantage over buying from Mr.pen.

zoazoacocoaYou're right ... it's almost exactly the same price, with shipping, even for the gold nib. And I've heard Mr Pen is much quicker shipping. I don't get it.

writerstephenyah, 32.50 pounds for the pen, 10.5 pounds shipping to US. Total is 43...conversion rate is $53.25 at today's conversion rate. Add 5% transaction fee from your credit card and it's right there..but then massdrop adds $2.75 shipping, so it may be a touch cheaper ordering from Mr Pen

writerstephenThe only advantage comes in that Mr.Pen charges more for the colored versions, so if you get just those your discount is a *little* more- that and maybe shipping is cheaper? But yeah, not really a significant discount.

writerstephenI just ordered from MrPen, and shipping was like 11 days from UK to US east coast. Definitely way faster response time. Honestly I don't see the point of this drop. Plus, no dealing with DHL when ordering direct, which I always consider a bonus.
MrPen currently shows a shipped price (to USA) of just under $53 for a stock black, and $57 for the colored versions. So all cheaper than this drop.

zoazoacocoaTBH, I don't mind that it isn't too much of a real difference. For me, this drop brought the Parson's Essential and Mr. Pen to a MUCH wider audience , which Mr. Pen totally deserves. It also means that he (Peter Ford) didn't have to discount the pens too much, so he is still seeing some profit. As for it being a bargain from Massdrop, that's pretty much completely false. But it is good for Mr.Pen and as a longtime fan of the PE, I'm glad more people are getting to see how great of a pen it is.
