Noodler's Confusion

Recommended Posts

I've seen the noodler's creaper pen for sale on goulet's and the standard piston fill for sale on isellpens. The piston fill on isellpens is cheaper, but they look like the same pen. Are these the same, or are they actually different models?

The same pen. If you look on the Goulet website at the description is says 'Also known as the Standard Flex Pen'. They just have different names on the websites.

 

The reason isellpens are selling them cheaper is they are trying to sell them all out.

Same pen. Note that the price on isellpens is the "sale price", otherwise it is the same as on Goulet Pens. I know that Todd (isellpens)sometimes works out deals where he has the lowest prices for some things. I once called Laban for a part and they told me to call Todd because he could sell it to me cheaper.

Some people say they march to a different drummer. Me? I hear bagpipes.

They are very nice little pens, BTW. I now have two. Think I got the first one (King Philip Purple demonstrator) from the Goulets last year. Then just picked up a second one (Vulcan's Coral) from isellpens a couple of weeks ago, along with another Konrad (even though I had just gotten one a couple of weeks before that, when the closeout price was less than a regular priced Creaper, I figured it was too good a deal to pass up. And I needed to get some ink anyway (a bottle of PR American Blue for my husband's niece to go with the pen set we got her as a HS graduation gift; and a bottle of Noodler's Navajo Turquoise for me because, well, it's such a yummy color.... :)).

      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
