Is This Even Possible !?

We'll be getting a nice long wait, then a refund from Amazon. The seller will get the funds cleared by Amazon on the grounds that the items are having a nice long international delivery. ;)

Yep, them's the ship controls - labeled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up in black to let you know you’ve done it

 

Is that above or below the big red button that says "Don't Panic" in large friendly letters? Oh, wait -- that's the Guide. My bad.... ;)

So, when people get their pens, let all the rest of us know if they're real or fakes.

I'm thinking a Chinese knock off?

 

Even that wouldn't be worth mailing from the US or China would it? I wonder if the tracking is authentic. :huh:

I've just spoken with Amazon UK on the phone. A report is being sent to their seller support department so that the seller I found can be investigated. :mellow:

The seller has left Amazon who are now giving refunds on payments without even waiting to see if the pens arrive or not.

I believe it would be more accurate to say that Amazon have closed down the seller's account and are refunding those payments that have been taken with dispatch notices, since they know that no £200 - £300 pens will arrive.

The seller is in the USA! But they will not ship to Australia.

Bah-humbug.

Glenn.

 

Not Canada, either!

Boo-hoo!

Well if by some miracle it is true, I've just bought an Arco celluloid Omas fountain pen for £9.99. worth the risk I hope

How about a nice Pilot CH 92 for £9.99? Or a Parker Duofold Centennial? Apparently delivered from the US to the UK. Other pens are available and all cost the same price. :)

 

Plenty of products available: 341 pages.....

 

This seller is still there today, but might not be for too much longer......

At least you will get your £10 back, so no risk I hope. -_-

      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
