Collectors classify the depicted Mont Blanc Meisterstück Pix as a counterfeit; Montblanc does not offer any model with this designation and design; the piece is a pure fantasy product of the counterfeiters, sold in China for very low amounts to tourists. To acquire it for around 100 euros is therefore a clear loss. With PayPal payment the buyer protection is available; a mediation procedure with subsequent refund is possible if the plagiarism can be proven, e.g. by a written authenticity assessment from Montblanc or an authorised dealer. Before legal escalation collectors regularly first attempt direct contact with the seller; a duty to disclose counterfeit characteristics also exists when the seller themselves claims to have known nothing of the counterfeit.
