Wtt: Sailor Realo For Pilot 823


blopplop

Recommended Posts

Okay, call me crazy, but I've decided I like the Pliot 823's better than Sailor's. Here's your chance for a trade where you will benefit from my mistake.

 

I just purchased a brand new Sailor Realo 911 piston fill; sent it off to Greg Minuskin for a .9mm retip. It writes wet, smooth and it's wonderful. But I just don't like the feel of sailor as much as Pilot.

 

So, I would like to trade my Sailor for your Amber color Pilot 823 with a broad or medium nib. Your pen must be in new to excellent shape with excellent flow. In terms of dollar to dollar, you'll be making out big time.

 

Okay, let's trade.

 

Oh yea, I have original box, papers, etc... I'll even include the original receipt for warranty purposes.

 

Dave

 

p.s. here's some pic's from Greg of the nib.

Someone offered to trade me a smoke color 823. I'd prefer an amber one but I may take the trade and then see if someone wants to trade an amber for a smoke.

 

So one last time-- ANYONE HAVE AN AMBER w/a med or broad nib they want to trade for this Sailor?

 

Blessings,

Dave

I have a smoke with a broad nib. Mint condition. I don't know what kind of nib the other one has.

      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
