Each pen cost just under $15, according to Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s chief of staff.

That's $450 - because she wanted to celebrate this moment.

Thanks, I started and found that first pic I posted but got distracted to find more. I think she got ripped off then. For the pens shown are not even equal to the ones that cost $10 but the embossed signature (not engraved or etched) would have added some cost. Obviously many questions about cost have been asked of her office.

I felt and thought that everyone was thinking they were each like $200 Waterman's or something and this would to me be really ridiculous but I also didn't think they were worth more than a few dollars. I know $450 is a waste but not as bad as Nancy Spending can be (i.e alcohol bill on her junkets).

You shouldn't lose sight of the fact that in Nancy and the Dem's eyes this is the most successful thing they have done in 3 years. The amount of effort they have placed in heading toward that moment it's a wonder she didn't buy those Waterman pens hahaha. Everybody with an ounce of objectivity knows the outcome isn't going to be positive for the Trial, witnesses or no witnesses. So I say whatever, let her end that part of the Horse and Pony show how she liked.

[image deleted]She got ripped off. These are all metal bodied but price is for larger quantity.
Maybe the truth of the delay really is because she was waiting for the pens!

$2 each, they're crap. Made of plastic only a step above disposable because you can change the ink if the housing lasts long enough.

Yeah exactly, I dont know why anything is being made of it in terms of their cost. I guess they are shiny and gold and people are not looking properly or dont realise the low cost to them.

They have commemerative pens for all the signings of bills etc, all the sudden it's an issue. Bring me something of substance to raise my ire, otherwise suck it up and become your own politician.

I seriously doubt Nancy buys anything cheap when it isn't her money.

Yeah I hear you and I have heard some crazy stories about bills for alcohol on her jaunts.
However, in regard to these pens. If if you look closely at the pens they appear to be metal even. It looks like the kind of complimentary pen you would get at a decent hotel. But not someing high quality, if you recall pens like trump has and gives on occasion away. These are better quality writing instruments. If I find myself some time I might try find out exactly what they are.

Thanks for that. I was trying to figure out an estimate for the cost of these myself.

I made a meme where I estimated all the costs for all the pens would have cost $10,000 at the very most (assuming good quality parts and custom design). I've seen really good quality pens cost up to $200.

But yeah, it could have been much, much less.
