There is one repeating situation in the modern fountain pen community. Fads and hype. We see a brand become the ‘in pen’ or ‘in model’ with many buying just ‘because’ followed by many much reduced second hand pens going on sale when the new owners find what works for one does not necessarily for them. Nakaya and the Platinum 3776 have both fallen in to this bracket, as arguably would have Conid if the brand had not suddenly been put on hold in the early days of Covid.
