Which On-Line Retailers

[inkypete]

I have had plenty of orders with Pendemonium and find them to be first class - excellent service, well priced, great range and their advice is spot on. I have also had limited experience with James at Pear Tree and that experience was excellent too. Recommend them both highly.

has anbody gotten a pen from pensandwatches.com? they seem to have a good selection of vintage stuff, and i like how detailed the descriptions are. some feedback would be appreciated.

 

He's been around since forever. I bought a BCHR Waterman 52 from his in the late 1990s. More recently (around 2005?) I bought a Cedar Blue Parker "51" with a flexible nib. Good prices, good pens, but always user grade, at least the ones I've seen. Doesn't bother me since I buy pens to write with.

 

thanks for the info! that pretty much confirms the good impression i got from the site.

 

i shall now have a long, serious talk with my bank account....

I can recommend Norman Hasse at HisNibs.com and Todd Nussbaum at ISellPens.com. Both gentlemen are terrific to work with. I have a nib out for Binderizing with Richard and Barbara, and they've been great too.

For new pens, no vintage here, I can highly recommend the following:

 

Daly's Pen Shop

Pen City

The Inkflow

PenCity.com without question. Massive, efficient e-commerce company, and our founder's relatives own the site.

 

And though we have but a few exclusive products: Franklin-Christoph.com

 

Kiernan

[Strang]

Swisherpens.com

 

I have worked with them on a couple of small orders and also a couple of times on large, complicated orders, and I recommend them highly in all situations.

What about www.montgomerypens.com? Their prices are very competitive and often tops; I have done LOTS of looking. Haven't purchased from them but am planning on doing so soon. Has anyone used them?

Pam Braun!!!!

 

Oscar Braun Pens

 

I found out about her through this board and now she is the only US store I will buy fountain pens from (as longs as she stocks them) as her service is excellent, communications polite and her prices unbeatable.

 

No affiliation, no connection, nothing - just a very very happy customer.

I'll echo this. Pam Braun is a great seller and my preferred seller, too.

I like Jetpens, too - I think they offer free shipping over $25 or something, which is really great. Now if they only carried Platinum Preppy converters...

 

Also I just had a great buying experience from Temecula Pens on eBay last week.
