Jim's toonie pen....

There are often some fellows outside the library selling various things.  The other day Jim bought a Cross pen and pencil set for $8 (worth around $200).  Yesterday he saw an interesting looking pen.  The fellow wanted $5 for it.  Jim said he had a toonie in his pocket so he took it.   Turns out it's at ST Dupont (ST stands for Simon Tissot) and according to the clerk at Charal's it's a $500 (plus tax) pen.  The refill cost him $14...pretty good deal, I think!
