(from fountain pen collectors FAQ:) "What's a Sumgai? A Sumgai (pronounced "Some Guy") is a term frequently used for someone that got a great deal on a pen they found. Like finding a pen worth $100 in a shoebox full of wooden pencils at a Flea Market and the seller asked $5 for it. Because you beat someone else to it, your a Sumgai. This term also came from the fact that often times you go someplace and ask if the have any fountain pens and the seller says... I did but the other day "Some Guy" came in here and bought them all."
Sounds pretty familiar.
