What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[lalindsay225]

I went on a spree of sorts around my birthday a few weeks ago. They were all inexpensive pens won on eBay. Still waiting for:

 

Duke Beijing Opera Rhythm (the cheaper version that's mostly black)

 

Hero (not sure what model number, but it appears to be flowered)

 

Jinhao Carnation

 

These are all from international sellers, so I may be waiting a bit longer. Also, I'm not buying any more pens for a while because I'm saving for a Sailor Naginata.

"I don't like to send on pens -- even if factory sealed as this one was -- without examining and adjusting the nib prior to shipping, as I want the pen to be ready to write without any adjustment on the part of the customer. In my experience, close to 90% of the pens I receive -- from all manufacturers -- require some adjustment on my part before I send them on their way.

 

Wow I at least gave the manufacturers some slack when I complain about pens quality :roflmho:

I have ordered 3 pens from China, total cost $20 including shipping (!), sold through an Ebay shop with names like Black Shiny Excutive Pen, another that looks like a 51 and I cant remember the third. I am working on the basis that its not a lot of money and if one of them can be lent out to a convert then its no bad thing

Lamy 2000 with EF nib.

Still waiting on the OMAS but

As far as I'm concerned, I'm curretly waiting for a large size 1911 with a Cross Concord Emperor... Hope it will arrive soon!

Well I thought I was awaiting the news that my Dolce Vita OS was en route, but just received an email from my supplier, of which this is an extract:

It may be disappointing, but your supplier gets an A+.

 

You are right, of course, Deirdre, and he will be named in due course!

(ie when I get the pen and review it!)

Reality bites!

 

I'm still waiting for the Sailor Sapporo F nib. Turns out to be out of stock; just my luck......a delay for a few days.

 

(In the meantime I have ordered 4 x Apica CD15 all the way from Paris, and wondered if Sailor Brown comes as cartridges etc etc...)

Vintage Sheaffer Balance coming to me soon!

[wejohns]

I am waiting for this Marxton that was discovered recently on a friend's work desk.

 

 

The pen is essentially new and has a flexible fine oversize 1940's Waterman's Emblem nib. I traded a Parker Duofold for a pristine Sheaffer OS Balance in the green striped color, a pen I've been lusting for some time and this Marxton. The Balance is already here, so I can't say I'm waiting for it.

 

Cheers,

I'm waiting for 2 vintage Pelikans, a 400 NN from the 1950s & a 400 from the 1980s. I'm holding off mailing a package of other pens to Binder until after these vintage pens arrive as I may be adding them to the package (for nib smoothing). Which means, of course, a long wait until I see them again, but it'll be worth it.

Waithing for a Waterman Phileas F that I got on ebay and a Lamy Safari charcoal - love the 'blacked out' look of that pen .. sort of a 'stealth bomber' look.

[Sailor Kenshin]

I just went to Jetpens, so now I'm waiting for several colorful, inexpensive, totally kawaii pens to arrive---Pilots, mostly.

[piembi]

Waiting for my Pelikan 400 tortoise to ruturn repaired from Pelikan.

And I am waiting for a Parker 51 burgundy ....

 

The 51 burgundy arrived and works fine.

And yesterday my 400 returned from Pelikan. Fixed and nicely polished as SERVICE! They did not charge anything for repairing the leaking piston. Thanks a lot!

[Shinichiro]

Ordered today : a Black Carbonesque VP with a 0.9mm Richard Binder cursive italic... hope it will arrive soon!

[Whippet]

Naki Paris blue is on it's way. An inexpensive pen I know but....don't tell my wife anyway, as I'm supposed to be banned from making purchases...but I can't help myself..Honest.

[rogerb]

Has anyone got their new FPs in the mail yet........or should I be looking at the 'what pen did you get today?' thread?

No........two, the Bexley from Germany & Sailor(UK), are still 'in the post', and my two 'Europeans from America'(DolceVitaOS, Duofold Intl.) are with the Spanish Customs.

 

So I could possibly have 4 more pens this week.

 

.....Make that five...I won a Delta Alfa Romeo Giulietta off ebay(uk) ......I coveted the Alfa Giulietta when I was an early teenager, but I guess this is the nearest I'll get to ever owning one
