The pen or ballpoint pen is a primary object throughout the world. In the stationery we found an infinity of pens at super affordable prices. However, in more exclusive stores we could find pens at exorbitant costs. It sounds crazy to think of pens that reach hundreds of thousands of dollars, right? Without a doubt, this is because we are used to the classic Bic pencil that costs a couple of dollars. Some of these pens owe their price to being encrusted with diamonds or several karat gold on top. They also involve great work at hand and the prestige of the brands also weighs. All of them serve the same purpose: writing, but their construction process changes and that is why the price shoots up. Let’s see which are the pens with the highest prices in the world market.
All these pens contain very eye-catching and luxurious elements that justify their price. However, these are certainly not articles for ordinary people who are only looking for usability. Many of these brands, knowing that they would not achieve great sales, chose to launch only special editions. If you want to know why the high price of these pens is due, keep reading because in the next section I will explain what makes them special.
