Has anyone heard from pepegege / Benjamin Garcia?

Has anyone heard from FPN user pepegege (Benjamin Garcia), goes by the email address of benjamingarcia_52@yahoo.com ? I bought a Pelikan 100N cap from him back in early February and never received it. I've emailed him a handful of times since, and I did get one reply in April in which he said he would be sending it soon. Not a peep since, and no cap.

 

Just wondering if anyone has received anything purchased from him. Thanks all!

 

Regards,

Aaron

I don't know about Ben. It seems he runs hot and cold. I got a Visconti from him with no glitches and a great deal. I don't like the pen: but around a month after buying from him he vanished from Centennialpen. Then he became something else. In my Visconti case was a postcard advert from Luxypens. Try finding that.

Sorry that's all I have.

Was Mr. Garcia the person who used to sell on eBay under the name centennialpen? I noticed that Centennial Pens had disappeared from eBay, but I've never bought anything from them or made the connection.

 

Just out of curiosity, why don't you like the pen?

 

Thanks for the lead! I'll send an email.

      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
