You'd think for £3,695 they'd at least send you the 62.5 ml bottle. :P

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Hi all,

 

I bought six bottles @ £3,695... I think it's going to be an excellent investment... it's magic ink. ;)

Has anyone mentioned this to Iguana Sell?

I was going to, Chrissy, but I was afraid they might raise the price if they realized how cheap they're letting it go for. :unsure:

P.S. I'm not really this demented or obnoxious... I'm just bored this evening. :)

I know you're not really this demented or obnoxious and that you're just making a little joke. (It's easy enough to tell the difference. :) )

It is magic ink, like royal blues tend to be. :roller1:

Whatever the price, however Royal it may be, get the blue-black too (presumably at the same price) since you're not living in the USA where it's considered to be a forbidden fruit.

You're right. At my store (where I don't work), they cost 3.77 (or 3.55 each for 3 or more bottles of any 4001 inks).

Ooh, good point. ;) Will Iguana Sell ship that color to the US?

Of course the people at Montblanc will now be saying "See, the cost of our LE inks isn't so outrageous after all...." B)

Hi Ruth, et al,

 

If they won't; Sukiyaki of Japan on Amazon will... that's where I get mine. ;)

Hi Aeba,

 

Yes. It's disappearing ink. :D

P.S.: But these help it disappear faster:

      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
