Do Any Of The Reputable Pen Shops Regularly Have Post-Christmas Sales?

[kirkmc]

I'm new to collecting pens this year, and I benefitted from Wheeler's 20% Black Friday discounts. I was wondering if any other pen shops in the UK, or the EU, regularly have post-Christmas sales, so I can augment my collection at lesser cost.

I usually get my stuff from Cult Pens, prices are invariably excellent

 

Recently I used Pen Shop and picked up a Faber Castell e-Motion for £43, no gift box or anything but cracking deal - they still have an Ambition (usually near £100) for fifty odd quid

 

What sort of stuff are you looking to collect?

 

I have returned to fountain pens (and actually writing letters) after years of neglect. My pens are a mix of a few modern ones picked up at a discount and some more interesting (to me) older pens from ebay and the like - recently got a pair of Reforms for just over a tenner from Spain, a Pilot 78G from Hong Kong for a tenner too. I also have an ebay alert set for any Fountain Pen auctions within 5 miles - nothing yet but you never know. The older and more obscure stuff is cheap fun as far as I am concerned

I've begun a collection of the Montblanc writers editions for now, plus a bunch of other pens and mechanical pencils.

Bureau Direct always has 10% off during the first week of each month, starting on the first Wednesday in the month. Cult Pens and The Journal shop usually have special offers, as does The Writing Desk.

 

Wheeler's Luxury Gifts had a good offer, and I benefited too. I only had to mention they had Montblanc Shakespeare and Tolstoy ink included in their 20% off, and whoosh, Shakespeare was sold out!

 

I couldn't afford to buy any pens from them this time, but maybe they will have another discount period when I can buy one. Fingers crossed.

Look here on this com...in the sales section.

 

Even at reduced prices...sales for new pens...are mostly a bit expensive. (5 or so of mine out of 70 were new.)*****

....I can buy a good to better semi-vintage....mid '90's 70 or Pre '70's vintage top of the line pen for lots less.

 

You pay more here than on Ebay...but the pen will work...the nib will be in order. The seller has his good name to protect.

 

 

****One must realize I was in The Pen of the Week in the Mail Club..... ....Then Pen of the Month. Ebay buying.....every once in a while one gets a dud.

Not in our sales section....

The folks here know what they have, what they are doing, and that's not selling Gramps old pen...not tested, no ink.
