Hi,
Admin I hope you do not mind this post. Delete or move if required.
A Waterman 512V, boxed with papers, I was returning to someone via the Post Offices Recorded Signed For 1st Class service has been 'lost' in the postal service. It was very well packaged, double addressed and with return address label also. Inside was a copy of the ebay receipt which also contained both my and the receivers email addresses. So there was/is ample information for Royal Mail to contact either party. Hence I have placed the '' around loss.
The pen cannot be used and is in need of professional repair (new sac and lever). I have emailed most of the UK's recognised repairers.
The pen is a pink, striated, model but it is clearly recognisable by the name J. S. COOKS engraved on the barrel. A picture is attached to assist.
Please, if you do see it in person or on an auction site contact me through FPN
Many thanks
Force

Wow, that is a beautiful looking pen. Hope you find it and get it restored.

 

Being an optimist, when you get is back, in excellent writing condition, please do a review.

 

Maybe, there could be a lost and found section here on FPN?

Well yes it may be but to enhance this post,

 

The boxed pen was sold described as, excellent working condition. Only one picture was shown in the original sale so I asked for more pictures which the seller made excuses as to why he/she was having problems showing them. When they did appear they were not great and conveiniently did not show the engraving, the damage to the lever or the box. I decided to take a gamble which did not pay off. Not only was it not working, it arrived with no packaging protection and the hence box was further damaged...it also reeked of tobacco smoke. It was being returned to said seller for an agreed FULL refund including my expenses. Now I have the hassle of claiming or finding the pen while the seller sits prety with their money. I would rather get it back so that this seller has to pay rather than the Post Office insurance.

Hmmmm, yet more reasons not to believe the seller.

 

I had a similar situation a few months ago, which I have just reviewed, where Track and Trace showed the pen as not delivered yet the buyer confirmed delivery. Having just checked that pens Track and Trace number again it is still showing up as not delivered some 4 months after despatch

 

While I have received emails from this latest seller saying it has not yet returned I am wondering if that is the truth and the whole truth. 6 negatives from 20 sales :unsure:

If by some strange reason it does turn up, then I would be pleased to replace the lever and box for you. There are not many repairers who want to tackle such a job, but if it would help, do send it to me.

Well, we are soon entering July and I am still fighting the case.

 

While I have made a claim on the Post Office they are dragging their heels. So much for 1st Class Recorded insured.

 

The seller is not replying to the PO's letters and their contact phone number is false (ebay dont want to assist...outside 45 days).

 

I have emailed the seller but alas nowt doing there also. Probably my negative feedback did not help.

 

Ahhh well, another learning curve.

Ahhh well, I have received compensation from the PO....£4 short of all my costs. They paid the price of the pen, postage back to the seller and packaging. They did not see the sellers postage to me as compensatable. So just beware you are not fully covered as they say. I have invoiced the seller the difference but heard nowt. Also her presonal details held by ebay don't pan out and ebay will help no further even though I have 15 years and 100% feedback and she has 3 months and 60%. There's loyalty for you, na all they want is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Bit late for this now, but if anyone has a problem not getting an item via ebay, but have paid via paypal, you can claim via paypal and get your money back via them even if ebay have rejected then case, I had to do this with an £80 Sailor pen.

 

The sender said he would give a discount on a couple of pens I got from him, he only sent one (so had a tracking number showing delivery).

 

dont hang around too long, but it can work for you.

      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
