I have found out about bitcoin late last year and have since mined, traded and gambled with bitcoins. Lately I have been trying to think of a good long term business ideas.As it happens, I’m in a position where I can offer luxury pens to bitcoin market but I want to know more, before I  offer any products.

1st something about the pens. I would start off with 2 worlds leading brands Waterman and Parker, offering ballpoint and fountain pens of higher design quality. Just for example.

Waterman Exception fountain pen sudgested retail price: 400€ / 525$  estimated bitcoin community price would be: 13BTC at the current rates so thats around 330€ / 430$.

2nd example from Waterman

Waterman Expert fountain pen
sudgested retail price: 90€ / 118$  estimated bitcoin community price would be: 2.75 BTC at the current rates so thats around 70€ / 91$.

All the pens be it fountain pen or ballpoint come in a nice gift box, some of the pens like the Expert lines also come in nice set boxes including a fountain pen, ball point and ink for your fountain pen.

I have some of the pens in stock and could ship them out right away, others I would have to order which usually takes around a month or two.
Pens would ship from Slovenia to any country in European Union. I could also ship to other countries but shipping costs are higher and customs might tax the product.

Here are the manufacturers sites where you can see the rest of their product line.

Waterman

Parker

P.S. I know bitcoin trade requires trust and people are careful with who they do business with. So of course I would be willing to do trades with 3rd party ecsrow, either respected people here on the forum or other kind of escrow services. I would also have no problem listing items on sites like bitmit.

Please if you do have any questions feel free to ask.
