I don't know if I could bring myself to buy anything off Temu. I feel I'd be doing a grave disservice to the American companies I prefer to buy from if I did. Not to mention, for most things, Temu quality is barely above "rice paper that dissolves in water" for most things...

Under $5 for a finished Bolt Action pen.

I bought 3 from Amazon about 4 or 5 years ago just to see what they were like. Similar price, nice finish but thin aluminum. I could almost crush each of them with my bare hands.

maybe you need to test these too.

Temu is not a company I will deal with - don't care for their security reputation for handling of personal financial information regardless of their country of origin or quality. Coming from a career in data security, I find some things just aren't worth the chance. YMMV.

I wrote this thread with tongue in cheek because of the recent discussion about how cheap people sell these type pens on ebay. This maybe one of the reasons they can do this. Finished pen at that price is ridiculous in our world but here is an example of it can be had. This is not the only kit or pen you can buy. They have others. So when comparing yourself on etsy and ebays of the world and you want to sell your pens do not assume they are selling the same pens you are. That is all this post was about. How bad this company is or not is a topic for someone else.

John, I knew what you were doing (tongue in cheek) and am glad you did. Thanks!

I laughed right away! I knew what was going because of the other discussion. We have to buy American made to keep the jobs here. The only thing I've seen that comes from China that lasts was COVID.

I can vouch for the covid thing. Had it again in the spring. Lasted about 10 days but not too bad. Lost all sense of smell and taste again though. That sucks. I did lose weight though.

I ordered a "sentimental message" for the wife last Christmas. Didn't realize it was Temu until I placed the order. That was by first and last order for them. Prefer going to Jared's.
