I'm currently waiting for a 70 ml bottle of Pilot Black and a box of Sailor's Kiwaguro cartridges. I recently found that my collection was to short on blacks and this was the answer...

And I now have all 4 of the Ink of the years from Pelikan Edelstein.... waiting on Aquamarine to hit the stores. ;)

 

Now to find some of the other hard to find inks.

Try Japanese shop exclusive inks. You'll have fun chasing those. B)

While watching the prices soar on Ebay for the Sailor speciality inks the past weeks I have happily ordered three Standardgraph inks in colors I didn't have & a bottle of Pelikan Edelstein Turmaline. It feels good to watch the feeding frenzy while awaiting four bottles of ink @ less than the cost of one!

What feels even better is getting some of those "feeding frenzy" inks for less than half of what it auctions for or at cost. B)

 

Hoping to get four SankoDo inks around May. :)

Not exactly waiting for in the mail, but I'm waiting for my local Montblanc store to order in the Tolstoy and Golden Yellow inks for me. I called them up today, after a fruitless visit a week or so ago, only to find they'd sold out of the Golden Yellow they'd received almost immediately upon getting the bottles in. :yikes: Thankfully, there was still stock locally so I should be able to pick them up tomorrow. :) I was amused when I was asked how many bottles I'd like, as if in the expectation I'd want many. I wonder now whether they sold all their allocated stock to the same person.

Sailor Kobe Ur Lapis and #20 from Atsu.

I've ordered another bottle of Ur Lapis too. Beautiful blue ink.

The #20 is stunning - I've got few inks with gold sheen that good. I'm seriously getting into bright orange/red inks at the moment :-)

Wonder Pens in Toronto (no affiliation) is offering a new mailing option for those of us who have to use Canada Post's (ugly) super boxes. The store will request a signature to pick up parcels. There is a better chance that the mail will then be stored in a warmer environment. Either I get a notice to go to the village post office to pick up my mail or one of the rural delivery staff will knock at my door.

 

In very cold temperatures these super boxes can become like deep freezers, where bottled ink or cartridges won't survive :( (except maybe a few inks from Mr Tardiff).

 

Usually I've avoided buying or shipping inks in Winter. As an experiment I have ordered some Kaweco Midnight blue ink cartridges from the above store. Crossing my fingers.

*Sailor 1911S, Black/gold, 14k. 0.8 mm. stub(JM) *1911S blue "Colours", 14k. H-B "M" BLS (PB)

*2 Sailor 1911S Burgundy/gold: 14k. 0.6 mm. "round-nosed" CI (MM) & 14k. 1.1 mm. CI (JM)

*Sailor Pro-Gear Slim Spec. Ed. "Fire",14k. (factory) "H-B"

*Kaweco SPECIAL FP: 14k. "B",-0.6 mm BLS & 14k."M" 0.4 mm. BLS (PB)

*Kaweco Stainless Steel Lilliput, 14k. "M" -0.7 mm.BLS, (PB)

How much does Atsu charge for inks he hasn't listed on his eBay?

It depends on the store, location, the ink and quantity.

Both the Ur Lapis and #20 were on his eBay shop recently. The Lapis (limited edition) was $35 and the Kobe was $25 (the current standard price for Kob inks from him). I've paid various amounts for inks he doesn't normally sell, especially when I've bought multiple bottles of one ink e.g.Sweet Potato Purple & Cigar.

OK. But if you ask him to get an ink from the standard line of Nagasawa Kobe, that he hasn't listed on eBay, how much doea he usually charge? I'm thinking of two bottles probably.

I think it might be easiest to just ask him directly. :) He has previously only quote me a total price inclusive of shipping, so I am not sure how he calculates his prices and fees.

      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
