Cross Aventura Give Away

Recommended Posts

Hey there FP network, as the title might suggest I am putting my very first fountain pen up for grabs. This pen is a Cross Aventura. This pen does not come with a converter or a cartridge but as the saying goes "Beggars cant be choosers." this pen has not been used that much it has at most 50 pages of writing on it and will be freshly cleaned before I ship it. This pen will be put in a box and shipped in the continues united states only. Thank you very much for everyone participation in this give away.

 

Jack

Hi I'm very new and would love to give the pen s twirl.

 

Currently my inventory is a Lamy Safari and a very picky Vuarnet that I can't identify the model.

I wonder how they manage to grow legs and walk away? hmm..

After looking it up I finally realized Cross uses proprietary cartridges/converter not compatible with anything I currently own, and since I am not a serious collector of many pens I don't regularly use, I must regretfully withdraw my interest. Thanks for the great pif though.

Jack, this is not an entry, why are you giving it up?

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
