I used this pen for about 6 months and them switched to an Omas. So it's in pretty good nick. I will take offers for the next 3 days. At that time, the best offer over US$150 gets it.

 

Shipping: If you are in Australia, then any method applies, and you can even have it COD. Otherwise, international airmail rates/

I'll offer US$ 160 for it.

Are you taking offers by PM, email, and in the forum? Is there any way to know what the high offer is? And when is the time up? --j

I got a personal message from the original poster yesterday saying it was sold. I'm surprised he didn't post here as well.

 

I'm very uncomfortable about the "sealed bid" nature of this sale. I thought the rules of Marketplace were that you had to announce a price and sell it to the first one who offered to pay that price. This sale didn't go that way.

I found this disturbing as well. I asked earlier in the thread for clarification as to what entailed "making an offer" which went unanswered. I then made an offer in the forum and waited until a day or so after the three days had passed before sending a PM asking if I had the high offer. That message also went unanswered. I sent another PM yesterday asking again and got a terse reply stating simply that it had been sold. I thought this could have been conducted better.

A friend who runs a website in the UK says it would be illegal there to run such an 'auction', unless you were properly licensed to do so.

 

I didn't like the style of it either.

      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
