Yep, exactly. I got these 4, an additional JV, and 2 Meisterstruck Chopin (FP & RB) all for £60 shipped, and delivered to UK in 6 Days.

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/140119

boxes where garbage, but pens where A+

I spent two hours during sale and could not find the green and silver except at a very high pp( price point, not power play for all you hockey fans)
Now, in a short five minutes super inexpensive and all mine!!!
buy at ae is funny!
So now with a great deal I eagerly await my nice pens... included the nice Ball point MB with a green and silver designer look.. how much fun!
now where is that check book?
lol

Had to take the plunge and order a couple from AE. First try with rep pens. My thinking is do similar to rep watches, start with entry level then move to 1:1 or higher end when you figure out what you really want in one. Thanks for another way to blow money lol!!

My ae MB reps arrived, a pair of star walkers. Overall I'm very happy and impressed. Not perfect reps but pretty impressive quality for $10 USD pens !

Does anybody know if I can get Montblanc Skeleton fountain pen replica anywhere? I seem to like a lot but original pricing on Monblanc is ridiculously high!!!

I bought a Meisterstruck fountain for 7 quid on Ae last month. The nib has shown signs of corrosion. At this price point for fountain pens, I'd stick to the Parker Vectors. At least they will last. I'd say rollerballs are different story though. I use gen refills on my reps and they fit well. The rep refill is just sh*t

Just bought a cheap starwalker (<$10) on aliexpress. What kind of quality should I expect?

As you wrote -cheap- so you should expect poor quality. If the original refill fits spend money and buy it so you least get good writng results.

Do these cheap ones usually take gen refills? Thinking of ordering some now so I'll have them when the pen comes in

Most well done Ball point MB can take gen refills.

There are a number of mb skeletals.

Some are available but not awesome quality. That said, I like them :)

Indeed, AliExpress is the perfect site for Belts, Wallets, Pens even sunglasses. I just got a genuine leather Hugo Boss wallet for $10

LOL, not sure if you were being sarcastic or not but I can assure you that your $10 AliExpress Hugo Boss wallet is NOT genuine leather.

Regardless, if you have a good contact on Ali, it is great place for stuff like this

Though they're no longer sold, I did get these through Ali ... quality is acceptable - don't bother asking me who the seller is etc. long gone.

I'm trying to look on DH gate for a rep but there are so many options it's overwhelming. I'll just have to pull the trigger on some cheapies and see what I get.

It might be better to research which MB pens you like most, then search for that model pen. For example: Garbo pen, Grace pen, Twain pen etc.

Then, if you want to get one of the correct colour, make sure to select that as the Chinese produce them in all kinds of inaccurate colours.

Hope this helps.
