Amazon has a whole new group of scammers that have shown up... I mean, blurring out the writing on the cap and nib? $385 for a steel nib? #2 Pencil?

Not in the picture: they recommend alcohol based ink.

Oh certainly, there are plenty of reputable affordable Chinese fountain pen companies (Asvine, Hongdian, Majohn and Jinhao to name a few). But this isn't one of them - it's clearly a scam given the pricing, the selective blurring in the photo, and the weird details in the listing.
