Then check out CultPens where you can get one under $300 (thats not a typo) w free shipping to US and no VAT. However, the price from my iPhone was higher so it seems to make a difference if you have a PC.

You may be able to challenge them on the price difference, lepoqeju. That sounds a bit slimy if you ask me.

I think you were looking at the m400 Stressman for under $300. The m805 version works out to be $337.50 at current exchange rates and no VAT. But that is still a great price and I think the free leather pelikan case deal is still on.

Massdrop isn't always a great deal. Sometimes it's a storming deal (lamy 2000's for $100) but sometimes it isn't.

 

I have noticed that massdrop seems to screw up nib selections almost constantly. About half of my pen orders from them have received the wrong nib size. And then they can't fix it, because they only have a fixed amount to sell. I only lucked out that the lamy 2000 I bought was an F (I already had an F) but I convinced a coworker to pick one up too, he ordered an F and got an EF. EF was the size I wanted, so I traded him and we got lucky. But I wanted an italix parson's essentials in an oblique medium stub, and I only got a medium stub, which i don't love. I just swapped the nib out of that pen and quite like it, but I'm not the biggest fan of ordering pens on massdrop anymore.

 

I do like other stuff, they can sometimes have awesome deals on inks and pen cases.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

      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

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
