Recommended Posts

i ordered a couple of pens from Todd yesterday morning. i was surprised as heck when i got the shipment notice yesterday afternoon --- i honestly hadn't expected an actual human to see my order until tomorrow, being as yesterday was a Saturday. surely can't complain about that service; now i just need to see about getting my mailbox shoveled out from the snowbank it's in before Tuesday...

He's done this for me, too (and I am a random low-volume customer).

I ordered some ink eradicator and like $25 of ink samples from him last week. Scheduled for Monday delivery. It'll be my first order from isellpens, so I'm pretty excited about it.

Same with me, my first order had a shipment notification within four hours! Needless to say, very impressive. He really does treat every customer with the same amazing care and respect, he's an amazing guy.

Isell pens truly is an amazing site, thanks to Todd's dedication and care.

got my stuff too, well packed and precisely what i ordered. now i have two more cheap(ish) Chinese hooded nib pens to feed my addiction. :-)

 

the Hero 616 wants some silicone grease to stop a slow leak from where the hood screws onto the insides of the pen, but that's fixable without tools. (my shirt, unfortunately, i doubt is. oh well, that's what i get for trusting a 616 before testing it more thoroughly; i should've been leerier.) the Hero 1000 is a classy looker, and the first pen i have that i can't write with posted --- the cap is too heavy, and it balances too far back. these will be loads of fun to get familiar with!

I have had excellent experience ordering from Todd and Brian Goulet. They both provide perfect service, and Brian's tutorials have been helpful.

It seems that the cold weather has hit sellers, too. Ink shipments have been freezing in UPS' facilities and haven't been making their way to sellers like Todd. Instead, they discard the entire shipment because it partially froze and leaked – what a waste.

Yet another incredibly good experience with Todd! The converter on my Vanishing Point became stubbornly lodged in the nib unit, so I had to cut it apart to get it out. I ordered new CON-50 at about 3:30 EST. I was dumbfounded to see that by 4:00 EST, it had been shipped! It's not as if I ordered a $500 Pelikan. It was a $5 converter. Looks like I will be enjoying my pen by the end of the week thanks to Todd. He will always have my business.

      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
