iLeicaMikeNot a hard time. Just disappointed as we get royally shafted price-wise in the UK. Our good typically cost 33% more than the US citizens pay for yours. It really hurts when it is a UK company like Yard o Led.

iLeicaMikeI think your jumping on people unnecessarily. I'm guessing you live in the US and are not seeing anything off limits to you. The complaints here are that people are being sent notices for drops they are not qualified to purchase. It's not difficult for MassDrop to only send drop notices to only qualified buyers. They can easily add an attribute to our profile yes/no to receive only notification on qualified drops.

AlawishisI live in Canada, travel to the US monthly, and am abroad for work 2 weeks each month (usually Asia or Europe, depending on the project). Sorry buddy, you couldn't be more wrong. I'm calling out the people pressuring massdrop for an issue that massdrop cannot control. It's not their distribution agreements, it's Lamy's. The complaints are valid, but they should be directed to Lamy, not the middle man.

It's been pointed out in multiple listings that Massdrop is not able to offer these pens outside of the US due to the distribution agreements that the manufacturer, Lamy, has in place. Let's face it people; Massdrop is a small community, and vendor, that works as a middleman. Do you really think that Lamy is going to renegotiate with it's distribution channels for two limited inventory drops? Further how does putting pressure on Massdrop change the situation, considering that the source of the challenge is with the manufacturer, consequently placing it outside of the realm of control Massdrop has.
I'm starting to feel like the Massdrop community, on the whole, primarily consists of individuals in their 20's who have limited life/business experience.
