Last year I got two PFM-V and a PFM-IV in quick succession for $35 - $55. Would those qualfy for sumguy deals?

Pictures may be seen on page 2 of the thread.

 

Help out some of the less well informed of us (me), Mitto, what does "sumguy" or "sumgai" refer to?

Yes, sir.

Here it is :

I hate the word "...gai" as that means in my National Languge - Urdu "(she has/is) gone". And I don't want to be someone "gone". :)

It's gone.

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

<p>Talking of PFM prices -- anyone buy a PFM from a Thai seller?  Seems like over half of the PFMs in the world are in Bangkok.  Many of the sellers have what looks like legit favorable feedback.  Theories?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Answered my own question by looking at old threads on this subject -- and there are lots. I do not think it's difficult to distinguish between the likely frauds & the likely legit.  Tough to fake good feedback on numerous sales of PFMs from buyers located all over the world.  And a guy selling a PFM who has feedback of 5 from selling some $5 baskets, well that seems like a good clue that trouble lies ahead.  </p>

 

This thread has just come up in a search I did, I bought a PFM11 from a Thai seller last week, no issues at all, the pen was properly described and 2 days after I paid it was in my hands getting some TLC.

      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
