Half-priced Platinum fountain pens I spotted in Dymocks's George Street store yesterday

[A Smug Dill]

I haven't seen too much worthwhile offered at half-price or better in Dymocks on George Street in Sydney CBD for the past three months (when I bothered to drop in to have a browse at its Pen Bar), but today I spotted these (most likely single unit only) offers:

Very pretty. You Sydneysiders have all the fun! I know, old news. Sigh.

@AmandaW If you want that Procyon with the cranes, I can see whether it's still there and (if so) pick it up on your behalf, on my way home from a run later this arvo. The other two pens have M nibs, which I don't think would be your thing.

Please do. Thankyou. I don’t have a Procyon, and don’t think I have even seen one in person, perhaps this is it... certainly is pretty.

More difficult if you live in Japan.

If you buy a pen for someone and get the money via Paypal, you most probably have to report it to the tax office. You have a tax-free amount of "income" which is so low that you are easily over it as your non-national pension, your interest on saved money all goes into this amount, etc.

It is a pain (you know where).
