I have:

Noodler's:
  • black
  • Nightshade
  • Iraqi Indigo
  • Blue-Black
  • Zhivago
  • Walnut
  • Aircorp blue-black
  • Navajo Turquoise
Montblanc:
  • blue (just plain ol' blue)

Sheaffer:
  • Skrip black
What I want:
  • **I'll trade for pretty much anything I don't have, so this is not a conclusive list**
  • Noodler's Eternal Brown
  • MB racing green
  • other waterproof colors
  • greens and browns
  • burgundy inks
  • any fast-drying inks (particularly dark, saturated colors)
  • dark colors--greens, reds, blues, etc. that seem almost black
  • something else?
I figure anything I don't have is worth trading for; cheaper than the whole bottle at least.

To quote KCat, I'm really saturated with ink. Engorged. And I'm in Italy, so it's not always easy to trade, like at the pen club meetings in the US or Israel, or wherever. I would prefer to trade than to sell and buy, so here's what I have for trade, and what I am seeking:
Omas Vespucci Red - full, brand new in Vespucci box, with Vespucci label, etc. (125ml) - I would like to trade this for, say three new bottles of PR: Blue Suede, Fiesta Red & Avacado.
PR American Blue, Visconti Ultramarine (turquoise) - large, old fashioned "hourglass" bottle with base, Herbin Poussiere de Lune, and 85-90% full bottles of Visconti Green (smaller hourglass bottle) and Noodler Ottoman Azure. I can also offer Sheaffer Peacock Blue (NOS), Visconti Black (large, old style bottle) and Lapis (same).
I'm looking for Sheaffer Burgundy, Caran d'Ache Turquoise, Jansen Stahlblau (and the items listed above).
Looking for Sheaffer Bordeaux ink...

Moppie - i accept trades of paper samples or stamps if there's an ink I have you are interested in. I think others are open to this as well - never hurts to ask.

These new posts reminded me that I got some vials recently (thanks KCat) and meant to post a note here.

I have the following:

Private Reserve: DC Supershow 2004, American Blue, Lake Placid Blue, Midnight Blues
Noodlers: Black, Ottoman Rose, La Couleur Royal
Waterman Florida Blue
Aurora Blue
Swishmix Glacier Blue
Lamy Blue Black (I found this ink very dry so it has a bit of soap added to it and now maybe it's too wet, but the color didn't change).

I've added a few new inks:
Yard-o-led Blue (according to Pendemonium this is the same as Diamine Royal Blue)
Swisher Emerald and Antigua Blue
Sheaffer Blue
Parker Quink Blue

I have a Miquelrius and Clairfontaine sprial notebooks, a small Rhodia pad and Southworth Fine Business 100% Cotton paper that I could send paper samples instead of ink.

I'm mostly looking to try Blue-Blacks, I'd like to find a good green and I always want to try any blue I haven't tried before. I'd like to try any of the Noodlers waterproof inks besides black.

In particular, I'd like to try Noodlers Blue, Ottoman Azure, Midnight Blue, Waterman Blue-black, Private Reserve Black Magic Blue, Sonic Blue, Spearmint, Sherwood Green, Emerald Green and anything else anyone finds particularly noteworthy.

John
