Montblanc: A Superior Choice for a Fountain Pen
Montblanc is a German company that is well-known for making luxury goods. Although the company does make other things like watches and leather handbags, it is best known in Germany and around the world for its high-end pens. If you are looking for a good deal on one of these pens, come see us at Hilltop Pawn to see what we have in stock -- there's really no reason to pay full price.
Montblanc is considered a luxury brand and its products are priced accordingly - if you have a fountain pen from them, there's a good chance you paid a pretty penny for it. Therefore of course, if you're selling it, you probably want to get a much for it as possible. If this is the case, sell to Hilltop Pawn here in Virginia Beach, where we appreciate the prestige of this luxury brand and are willing to pay you fairly for your Montblanc products.
A.T. Cross Company: A Favorite Around the World
A.T. Cross is a Rhode Island-based American pen manufacturer that is well known and respected both in America and around the world. Even if you aren't a writing instrument enthusiast, chances are good that you have heard of A.T. Cross and have probably used one of their pens at some point or another. This company makes a wide range of writing instruments, including fountain pens, rollerball pens, ball point pens, and mechanical pencils.
One great thing about Cross pens is the fact that there are affordable options that are still of a higher quality than most pens that you'll find on the market. However, of course, there are higher end Cross pens that cost a little more. How much your Cross pen is worth on the resale market obviously depends on which pen you have, but if you're looking for a cash offer for it, bring it to Hilltop Pawn, where we understand the value of your fountain pen.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a nice Cross pen for a fair price, come see us at Hilltop Pawn first -- you'll find more affordable options here.
