Earlier today I inadvertently bought about $225 worth of pens and inks ranging from Hero to Sailor 5th anniversary. Stuck my phone in my pocket and it "pocket dialed" my entire order in my eBay cart. Can you say oh......yes I know you could.

 

Luckily my husband is bailing me out of this one and is asking me why I had $45 bottles of ink in my cart :wacko:

 

The good news is I'll have some new inks to play with :blush:

Ouch! What is your husband looking to get on the deal?

 

Enjoy,

Yours,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

He will probably be getting a pen if I don't like the one. I have to pay him back. We run separate bank accounts just because these sorts of accidents happen from time to time with me I'm sad to say.

Well, as long as no violence erupts.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

If you could change from that ~200€ bundle of pens&inks, to a single high quality pen (say 170€) and two already high quality inks (15€ each), what would you do? :)

I go to the wall, pick up the horn, crank the handle. speak into the speaker; "Hello, Mable, give me Alice."

A nice excuse for purchasing pens and inks.

I will have to speak sharply to my iPhone. It has done its best to embarrass me, surely it could pocket order me nice surprises once in a while too, to make up for that.

The ink still would be one that I bought, however I would have chose a 14K Duke for the pen.

Not the first time this kind of accident has happened?

 

I sense a pattern....

Yeah, I'm pretty bad about remembering what I paid where and try as I might to record everything...sigh...

ok we don't have the same tastes. Since you're in USA, you could have a Bexley also for that price http://www.bexleypen.com/category-s/1514.htm.

In any case, you can still sell all the pens you accidentally bought, and get your better pen. :)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
