I will miss them I imagine for a LONG while; only yesterday I caught myself before I went to their site to look for something. Mr. Nussbaum always had very fair prices; I surely appreciated his promptness in shipment @ "rock bottom prices." I NEVER received anything damaged despite it's traveling a VERY long distance from my house; so when you combined his value for shipping items combined with already fair pricing, I frequently ordered from him.

 

As a new customer to purchasing pens, ink, paper & the other items we enjoy, he made my shopping quite a pleasure. I have always believed competition made the market place better for customers & I suspect many of us will miss his site even more in the future.

@ yea link me their ebay page to have a look at!

 

Hear hear on that one. There seems to be one particular business that has come from literally nowhere in the last few years to near domination of the market, first result on Google etc apart from Amazon that is. That business must have had substantial startup backing and investment as I know how tough it is for small businesses to get finance and survive even if they offer good prices and customer service. I always try to support the little guys and I would have liked to have supported these guys too.

Web page appears to be gone already.

 

Todd took down the website at the end of December, or at least that is what he was planning to do. A sad end to one of our good vendors; here's hoping that he will be back some day!

Just as I discover the world of Chinese made pens and the Hero 616 and 595 the most trusted dealer in these pens goes out of business. Who will take Isellpens place on eBay?

Try JewelryMathematics. He's a local over there, so his prices are pretty good and I've never had any shipping or quality problems with him. (I've ordered 4 or 5 pens thru him).

I just found out they went out of business. It is always sad to see a good vendor close their doors, or like in this case, their website.

To buy, vintage or new pens, you now need to visit a Pen Show. B&M's can't compete, folk try the items out there and then buy them on line at a lot less.

10 years ago there were only 2 pens shows in the UK, now there are 6, the dealers and product are still there, nobody is going tpo become a million are though ;-)

Darn, I have been out of the loop too long

I'm just hearing about this now after trying to go to the site :-( I made many orders from isellpens. Sorry to hear that and hope your future endeavors go well :-)

      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
