New colourways of the Faber-Castell LOOM fountain pen spotted
A Smug Dill posted a topic in Market Watch
I newly spotted multiple listings for these on Taobao, so it goes to show that Faber-Castell has not discontinued production or sales of the LOOM model. Given that these gift sets are cross-branded with The British Museum as a ‘collaborative’ special edition, I doubt it is exclusive to the Chinese market; and it probably is not factually true to say Faber-Castell has discontinued sales of the LOOM fountain pen in Western markets altogether. -
I was shocked to see this on Taobao. To me, it still isn't worth the price — and that's I why I passed on it in 2023 when I was in Tokyo — but some others may appreciate the opportunity to get such pens made for themselves even if they have to pay a premium for access.

For Chinese Pens -- Ebay? Taobao? Alipay?
bobje posted a topic in China, Korea and Others (Far East, Asia)
Most of the Chinese pens I own have been purchased on eBay. There are a few sellers I use most frequently because they've been extremely reliable. One seller, "jewelrymathematics", used to contribute to FPN. But almost all of my Chinese pen transactions on eBay have been positive, regardless of seller, and particularly when they have extremely high satisfaction ratings. During the last year I've become more comfortable with Rakuten when purchasing inks from Japan. But I have had a difficult time understanding Taobao, and have not yet tried to experiment with Alipay. Even with an English-language intermediary, such as Mr. Taobao, the Taobao service seems difficult to navigate. What has been your experience with the purchase of Chinese pens? Who has a high comfort level with Taobao? Advice? What about Alipay? I'm placing the thread on this forum because the question focuses specifically on the Chinese pen purchasing experience, not on all marketplaces in general. -
Hey I have found some pens on the site that I have seen here called Taobao. I want to now this forums experience with its international shipping and service.
