Sales in Eugene, Oregon

Recommended Posts

Traveling home yesterday had the oportunity to stop at the Valley River Mall in Eugene, Oregon. It was pass closing time and just go in the door to get somw pretzels. The pretzel place was closed by my wife spotted a pen store with a sales sign and the door was still open. I live a copple of hundred miles to the south and was not aware of the store. I had only found one B&M store in the state. They have no web site. The store may be going out of business. Most pens are 20% off, some 30%. I didn't have my laptop so couldn't compare prices, but they seemed in line with what I have been seeing at the "regulars" on line, before discount. The salesman said the prices were mostly based upon prior exchange rates. They had a nice selections of MB, Waterman and Pelikans. I picked up a broad nib for my Falcon for a few bucks less than any online price without postage.

So if you are in the area you might want to stop buy. Lease is up end of March. Name of Store is Pensations. I have no affiliation.

I visited Pensations this afternoon. The store is liquidating their inventory, with everything in the store at 45% off (or more). This afternoon, they still had a variety of pens left: some Parker Duofolds, several Pelikans (various sizes, colors), Cross, some (Initial, Skynn, Core), Retro 1951, Waterford, Waterman, Lamy, and a few other odds & ends. They did not have very many fountain pens left. They did have a couple of Mont Blancs. Pensations also sells watches and calligraphy pieces. March 31st is their last day.

Does anyone know of another store in the Willamette valley that carries fountain pens. I'm looking to replace the one I lost.

The only B&M store I know if is Paradise Pens, in downtown Portland (it is chain of stores, with a nice flashy website too). Good luck!

I was just reading through the old posts on this site, and found this one. Pensations was actually my old store! Glad to see some folks on this site who have actually visited it before it unfortunately had to close down.

 

I actually came to this site in hopes of selling remaining stock that has been safely stored away all these years. Funny coincidence!

 

(Don't flame me for "bumping" an old thread, this just made me smile a bit).

 

Good memories!

      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
