WTT: Watermans Florida Blue; Private Reserve Burgundy Mist

[finalidid]

First, forgive me if this post seems redundant. I posted a similar request on January 28, though the particulars were mildly different. Two different people responded to that initial thread with polite helpful comments -- one post, one PM -- and I'd like to apologize for failing to take either of you up on your offers. I let it slip because other concerns were pressing at the time, and then somehow the matter passed from my consciousness into nether mental voids, so I hope you will forgive me. This time 'round, I've got the topic "tracked" and I'm not studying for the LSAT!

 

Wanted to trade, ink for ink:

 

I have, to deliver to you, a 95% full (seems to be 50 ml) bottle of Private Reserve Burgundy Mist (a red wine-stain color); and a 100%+ full 50 ml bottle of Watermans Florida Blue. The PR bottle has had one fill taken from it; the Florida Blue (a.k.a. "bleu effaçable" or "plain blue") is brand new unopened. Both are "standard" size. Here is a Private Reserve color chart.

 

I want, from you, one or or two 90%+ full bottles of some interesting mainly "conservative" or "traditional" ink (even a black, as long as it's not some nuclear frozen Antarctica black that I can't use in a vintage pen unless I genuflect to the full moon), or a pair of different colors, or a nice big fat wad (ten? fifteen?) of these particular Parker refills in black, blue-black, dark blue ...

 

 

... or a similar combination of equal value.

 

I'd acquiesce to a smaller number of those refills than what I request, but I'm really hoping that someone who has an "inside track" can get some on the cheap, and pass the savings on to me. So, it would be nice if I could get a buncha refills, but it would not bother me if I shipped out two bottles of ink and you shipped to me two other bottles of ink. My collection is currently low on greens and reds.

 

I am in the Continental USA. I'd suggest we each ship by USPS First Class or similar postage. And use ziplocks!

 

Thanks to Colorado Pen for the unapproved plagiarization of their image.
