Hello everyone, how are you doing?

Does anyone knows this seller? Would you guys buy this? Im looking for a pen of the same brand and model but with the music nib, any suggestion for where to buy? (I prefer to have a pre-owned one)

He scored 100% positive feedback on 1466 items so it should be OK. Also the price seems right ... I bought a 3776 from Japan for $100 including shipping ...

I bought mine from them. Arrived promptly and brand new, as described. No idea whether they have the music nib or not, but usually it adds some to the price tag.

I think a music nib on this pen is more expensive. If you wanted a new one you can look at engeika.com or pisuke2005 on ebay. (no affiliations). Don't know about pre-owned ones though.....

Very good feedback, and the price looks good, I'd buy from them myself.

I have bought from this dealer before without problems. Obtaining the music nib may be more of a problem. It is my understanding that the music was originally available only on the black 3776, but now is available on the Chartres Blue and the Burgogne 3776s.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

I didn't know the yen dropped. Maybe I'll have to pick up a 3776 with a music nib, then all my drawing needs are met!

I received mine a few days ago. It looks to be slightly used. It writes well and is not damaged in any so for the price I'm okay with it but I wish they would mention this in the add.

I ordered one on the Jan. 10, they provided tracking info the next day and it's been languishing in NY for the last week.

 

The auction states the pen is guaranteed to be authentic and new; what makes you think the pen is used? And have you considered asking for a partial refund?

 

Based on their feedback I don't anticipate any issues but if I think my pen is used I'll have to decide how to proceed. OTOH, if the pen is pristine I got a good deal even if it is used so ...

Update: my pen arrived today and it seems to me to be new/unused. It's a beauty and writes well OOTB. The only "issue" is that the nib wasn't fully installed; it needed to be pushed into the section a bit to seat fully. A great deal, IMO.

Sorry about the delay. The pen has clearly been handled quite a bit and you (or rather I) can tell when a feed has never been inked or rinsed. I wouldn't be surprised if mine was used as a tester in a store. No big deal, there's nothing wrong with it.

I think these are new, but sometimes former display stock. Still should work flawlessly and great for the price.

I like the Chartres Blue so much that I'm eyeing the Nice. That's one pretty pen and they have a good price.

      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
