Hello guys,

 

This is my first time here at FPN. Just entered this fountain pen world a few months ago. I'm looking for a repair shop and vintage fountain pen shop in Bangkok, Thailand.

 

 

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I checked the one at Forturne Rama9. It is the second hand store. Many Dupont, Montblanc, Parker. The prices are quite high compared to what i have seen on ebay. Many of Parker 51, if anybody s interested.

Were the prices you saw written on tags, or were they quoted to you by the vendor? If quoted, I would think you have plenty of room to negotiate a lower price. Even if tagged, since it is a second hand store, the price is what someone will pay against what the vendor will accept. If you have not done so already, read up on haggling in Thailand. If possible, take a local friend with you to do the negotiation. Just have a price you will pay in mind and be sure to purchase the pen once the vendor agrees to your haggled price.

 

Remember, the whole point is to make both buyer and seller happy, not to buy something under the seller's cost or to create bad feelings. Even if you do not agree to a price and the deal falls through or you never go back to this vendor, treat the whole process as establishing a long term and respectful relationship that will benefit you both. Smile and have fun.

That's a really good advice. Thank you so much. I was looking for Vintage Wahl or Waterman, they didn't have many though.

      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
