Yes, these are expensive, modern pens.  You can really jack up the value of anything by adding a lot of jewels.  There are two things about which I wonder:  First, what are the most expensive vintage pens (although we know their value is going to fluctuate, and will vary based on condition for multiple examples of the same pen.)  Second, how many super-wealthy folks went and spent the nearly $3 million to acquire the pens on this list, just so they could say they did?
