Anyone ever have to fill out a Toxic Substances Control Act form for a domestic, U.S. online pen purchase?

 

I've been a little gunshy about this seller who specializes in watches. But an Aurora Ipsilon DeLuxe for $126 has me curious. Just as I had quelled my fears and was about to hit the button, I saw a disclaimer requiring TSCA form compliance as a condition of sale. They are based in L.A. so as it pertains to me, this is a domestic transaction. Am I missing something?

They are based in LA, but the goods they sell are grey-market and come from Asia. I don't know if that's the reason why you would have to fill out this form, but it's possible. It's worth noting that they are not authorized dealers for any of the goods they sell.

Best,

David

Thanks, David! I suspected as much, I had emailed them a couple days ago and never heard back from them. I'm still a rookie and learning my way around the big world of authentic fountain pens. Maybe I'll just call Pam back and add that one to my order.

      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
