First of all, hope this is the right forum for my question. I just want to know if anybody have experience (good or bad) dealing with the ebay seller "lewertowski". He is based in France, and sells Waterman Hemisphere pens at prices roughly 40% lower than what I have seen elsewhere. He has a massive positive feedback rating, but just want to be sure.

 

Here is a link to the pen in question.

Mr. Lewertowski is an excellent ebayer and very pleasant to deal with. And he is very knowledgable about pens, contrary to a lot of other eBay sellers.

He is also a regular on this forum.

 

I bought a couple of pens from him (and another one last night), and he is highly recommendable.

 

Best regards,

 

Jarno.

I just received a new Waterman Kultur demonstrator from him. He seems to be a good seller based on the single purchase I have made with him so far.

You cannot go wrong with Lewertowski. I've bought a number of Waterman's from him over the last three years with no issues whatsoever.

Lewertowski comes highly recommended by me. I have purchased a few Waterman's from him and found the service to be prompt and efficient.

Buy with confidence.

Mr. Lewertowski has always delivered exactly what I purchased. Shipping time (from France to Canada) is usually less than it takes to get stuff from "South of the Border" in New York or California. Well-protected padded shipping envelopes usually hold the pens and boxes. I would not hesitate to recommend this gentleman as a seller.

 

He does post here from time to time, as well.

Probably don't need another testimonial but here we go anyway!

 

He's a great seller. I've made several purchases through him. If anything goes wrong (however unlikely!) you can rest assured that he won't ignore you just because he's already got your money. Packages well, items are as described, shipping and handling charges are excellent, and he ships ASAP.

Good, I think I have found my future pen supplier :happyberet: Now I just need to decide if I want to go for a medium or fine nib. I have heard that the medium nibs tend to be a bit broad. Anyway, that is another discussion, for another forum.

 

Thank you all for your feedback

I've got more Carenes incoming from him - been buying from him ever since he walked me through my first foreign currency Paypal transaction years ago. No affiliation, just a really happy buyer.

 

If you go up to the Waterman forum and post your question, you'll get definitive answers.

Only bought one item from him so far (oh, and you might see folks around here abbreviate his full name with "JWL")---a Parker Frontier---but the service was fast and friendly, so I would recommend him as an eBay seller.

Don't be so hard on yourself - I'm sure you'd be an A+.......

 

:roflmho:

 

(sorry, couldn't pass that one by)

 

BTW, what do you do when you need to take notes on something - switch to a finer nib, or just use lots of paper?

I just got my three pens from him today, two Waterman Grads and a silver kultur. This is one of the better ebayer's I have seen in a long time.

I bought a Carène from him recently and it wasn't quite what I wanted....not his fault at all, I'd just never seen & held one.

He was quite willing to take it back for a refund...as soon as this is processed, I am sure I'll get another pen from his huge selection(and will probably spend more than I originally did!).

I bought a Duofold Centennial jade from Lewertowski several years ago and it was a very good experience. Nice priced item, quick delivery and good communication. I will buy again.

Nothing really to add to what everyone else has said, very reliable with good prices, I have bought a number of pens , as well as inks and accessories from him never had any problems at all.

 

Buy with confidence.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
