Ink Giveaway in New Jersey

[Maurizio]

I am giving away several bottles of ink including:

2 bottles of Sailor Jentle Blue

1 bottle Sailor Jentle Red

1 bottle Diamine Majestic Blue

1 bottle of Noodler’s Bay State Blue

1 bottle Pelikan Brilliant Green 

1 bottle Pelikan Violet 

1 bottle Roher & Klinger Salix

1 bottle of JHerbin Orange Indien

 

and maybe a few others. 

 

Nothing wrong with any of the ink. I just have too many bottles and would rather share than let it evaporate before I can use the ink. 

 

Now that these miserable Covid restrictions are starting to be lifted in NJ, this exchange will take place in person at a Starbucks or other cafe in Closter NJ (not my hometown). I am fully vaccinated but will still wear a mask indoors unless we can find a seat outdoors. 

 

Preference will be given to students first. 

 

Trying to gauge interest and will arrange a date when replies start coming in.

Thank you for being so generous, unfortunately based in NYC, good luck!

[Maurizio]

Happy to share the love.

I guess there aren’t many folks near me in NJ who want some ink? Or it may be that people are still wary of in-person meet ups because of Covid.

 

For what it’s worth I’m fully vaccinated. 

 

I would be happy to ship any of this ink if the recipients would be willing to pay costs of shipping, but that defeats the freebie aspect of the giveaway and you might as well just buy a bottle from a retailer especially if you have free shipping with a vendor.

This ink will be going down the drain in a few weeks if no one wants it. 

I have to downsize my accumulation.

Sorry, but I'm not in NJ.  Plus, they're either ones I'm not interested in or ones I already have.

You could try doing what some people do, and paint with yours, just to use them up.

Hi Maurizio,
If nobody in NJ are interested, perhaps you would consider shipping to another member of FPN, a bit farther away?
Perhaps even shipping abroad, if the recipient pays for shipping?
Personally, I would love to have just half of those bottles you are mentioning, my current collection is very meager.
5 Pelikan 4001 plus 7 Diamine, none of which are the same as what you are offering.
Hope you can find somebody to make use of this nice ink collection, here & or there. No matter what, it's very nice of you to try and enrich the FPN community.

Stay safe,
Daneaxe

Due to no response from anyone in NJ I decided to give the inks, along with a Rotring Artpen EF, and a unused Wing Sung 398, to the 17 yr old daughter of a friend who likes to draw with pencil and markers. These will be her first fountain pens.
