The Super: " I'm Moving to Japan" Pilot 78g SALE

[Samovar]

Dear fellow pen collector,

I'm moving to Japan at the end of July. I'm done teaching high school in Montreal and I will face a new challenge in Japan, teaching English.

 

I have a bunch of Pilot 78 g with medium nib for sale.

 

 

 

They all have the original sticker, I have them in teal, black and red.

 

The unique thing about those 78g is that they take an international cartridge and converter, not the Pilot cartridges. I found that Waterman converter are a perfect match.

 

 

I will ship the pen from Montreal, Canada

 

 

Each pen is 9$, yes 9$! And shipping will be only 5$ up to 3 pens for Canada and US, add 2$ for the rest of the world.

 

The sale will last until July 22.

 

Please PM me if you are interested. Payment by Paypal please.

 

Cheers

 

Samovar

Samovar, congratulations on your relocation to Japan! What city are you going to?

[Samovar]

I'm moving to Jinsekikogen-Cho in the prefecture of Hiroshima, I will be living the village of Yuki. I'm the new king of the Inaka, well about 45 min drive away from Fukuyama.

 

I can't wait to shop for pen in Japan!

Sorry I don't need the pens, but wanted to wish you a good luck! It's not real close but you can take JR to City of Hiroshima, where there is Kinokuniya, Tokyu-Hands and other good stores. I lived in Hiroshima for four years and lived in Fukuyama for a little bit to do my student teaching Enjoy!!

[Samovar]

Thank you Taki. I only heard good thing about Hiroshima and Fukuyama. I'll probably drive to Fukuyama every weekend. I can't wait to eat okonomiyaki!

Are those two store the best pen shop in Hiroshima?

I heard Fukuya Department store in Hiroshima City also has good selection of pens, but I've never looked at pens there. Kinokuniya has all the basic line-ups of Pilots and Sailors, though the clerk was not too helpful when I visited there this spring. Tokyu Hands might not have as many variety of Japanese pens but they have some foreign pens, too. Also they have Sailor inks in their SE colors. I wonder if you can find small old stationery stores in Fukuyama or where you wil be living. When I was a kid, there used to be a small stationery store or two very close to every school, but that kind of stores are becoming obsolete

 

I don't know if they let you look at the factory, but Kure City in Hiroshima is where Sailor started and many of their pens are still produced there, I think.

 

Also you might want to visit Okayama - it might be closer than Hiroshima City to you.

[Samovar]

I will certainly try to visit the Kure City factory, I'll use all my gaijin charms!

I found this article:

Thanks Taki, I have to spend a few day in August for the Hiroshima prefecture orientation, I'll be sure to stop by those shops.

Still got a bunch of pen left, thanks to everybody. Your pen should be on it's way!

 

It's your last chance to own this unique model of 78g!

The unique thing about those 78g is that they take an international cartridge and converter, not the Pilot cartridges. I found that Waterman converter are a perfect match.

 

I'm assuming the pen doesn't come with the converter then?

Have a great time in Japan. I've always wanted to live in Tokyo for a few months.

[Samovar]

I'm afraid not, but if you are in the middle of nowhere, I can get you a converter for your pen and charge you only the price I pay for it (8$ CAD plus tax from www.stylo.ca).
