There is a discussion in another vendor's forum regarding whether or not a pen with chrome plating can be high end. The poll results there speak for themselves so that is not the point of this thread.
I posted that it appeared to me that at least one of the premier suppliers of high end pen kits thought so because they are offering some of their high end pen kits are now offered with chrome plating.
I also stated that at least one of their high end kits listed Rho/Rho as the lowest price option offered. I did not name the kit because as a professional I didn't want to mention a kit that I will have for sale on another vendor's forum,
Another member, who is not a vendor, and did not have any information regarding which kit I was referring to, then posted that he knew that Rho/Rho was not the lowest price.
I was referring to the Great Palace Vine and Jr Great Palace Vine....on the Dayacom website under the category HIGH END PEN KITS you will find those kits offered in:
*Rhodium / 22K
*Rhodium / SS (Sterling Silver 925)
*Rhodium / Rhodium
During my negotiations with Dayacom to purchase these kits Rhodium/Rhodium was in fact the lowest price...Rhodium/SS (Sterling Silver 925) was by far the highest with Rhodium/22K being perhaps 10% higher than Rhodium/Rhodium. I did, in fact, make a purchase and they will be appearing in Rhodium/Rhodium in my store soon. They will also go on sale at another vendor's site at about the same time.
The person who said I was wrong said he got his information from Dayacom - Obviously he did not, or he was speaking about some other high end pen kit. While He might have asked Dayacom for prices I am sure they did not quote him prices that they would not quote me.
If he asked if Dayacom would produce the pen in some other finish they would probably do so - but they do not currently include any other finishes in their offerings.
