I just noticed that I bought my Amultart C-Pen at a higher price than the shake hand version, and it turns out there are also other types like Zhang Ji Ke Super ZLC. Here is the comparison form some suppliers : Zhang Ji Ke SZLC SH USD.426,99 C-Pen USD.594,99 difference: 39 % Amultart SH USD.244,99 C-Pen USD.413,99 difference : 69% I asked one of the supplier who then asked (Butterfly, I presume), then replied that the price for C-Pen for Amultart is regarded as custom made as the quantity being produced is much less than the shake hand version. I think it is not a fair pricing policy, moreover because Butterfly now do not accept custom order. Previously for custom order I paid 50% more of the original price, but then I can choose the wood composition, shape, and even the handle (naturally from existing types which have been produced earlier).

It's just their despicable trick. I'm a pen holder and I won't buy a bty cpen unless it's the same price as the shakehand version

Bty Cpen blades is more expensive tha shakehand is because Bty Japan specially made for China market. Most of Bty cpen blade are control by Bty China agent.
For example: Bty made 25,000 pcs amultart shakehand for worldwide mkt. Bty specially made 5,000 pcs amultart Cpen for China market. There is a quota in order for Bty jpn to make cpen blade. My Indonesia Bty agent has to order the Cpen blade like 1. Bty zjk alc/super zlc 2. tb alc/zlc 3. amultart 4. garaydia series 5. primorac carbon 6. taksim from the Bty China agent. So, those Bty Cpen fans has to accept the high price for certain Cpen blades which was control by the Bty China agent or play other brand. The Cpen blades like 1. innerforce layer zlc 2. innerforce layer alcS 3. innerforce layer ZLF 4. hadraw VR 5. sk7 classic/carbon 8. yoshida kai are not price control by the Bty China agent. Price of zjk super zlc shakehand at Indo Bty agent is ard 300 USD Price of ZJK super zlc Cpen at Indo Bty agent is ard 320 USD. I believed every country has their own import duties which vary the price. I hope the explanation above are informative enough. |
