Hello! I have a lamy safari with a medium nib but it is just too broad for my writing! I am in search of a fine/extra fine. I would be willing to trade! Can anyone help me out?!

So I just received my Pilot Custom Heritage 92 in medium size but it is too wide and wet for my liking since I use those cheap paper (although it writes beautifully). Just wondering if anyone has Fine nib that you want to trade for my Medium nib or anyone selling their fine nib at a reasonable price.

I just thought I would pose this question. Have any of you ever trade pens to someone for something non-pen related? If so, what was it? I have been into fountain pens for a couple years now and just made my first trade. I traded a few pens I don't really use to a friend for a couple of gorgeous custom tobacco pipes he was getting rid of. But there was a pen involved. There will also be a Parker Sonnet included with the pipes. I have one already and loved it. This one is a different finish, though.

Hi All, I hope to gain some feedback on this pen I have. I have the exact pen in the link below: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dunhill-Sterling-Silver-Ball-Point-Pen-Rare-Light-Usage-/181495933395?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a420029d3 Mine however does not come with the box or papers. I am wondering if I'd be able to trade it for a good FP or should I just keep it for my own usage? What do you guys think? Sorry mods it this is in the wrong section. T.I.A. Cheers, Alan

This thread is for GouletPens.com Ink Drop subscribers to exchange inks between themselves. I dip tested all 5 of the Chocolates from this month and ended up liking the Diamine Rustic Brown and have used most of it so I am keeping it but the other four are full since I only dipped a clean pen into each to try a few sentences. The four available are: Noodler's Polar Brown, Pilot Iroshizuko Ina-Ho, Pelikan Brown, and Pelican Absolute Brown. What I am interested in is: Blacks, Blues, Purples, Reds, and Diamine Rustic Brown. If you have a full bottle of Diamine Rustic Brown and could part with a couple sample size goulet vials worth or even the entire bottle if you bought it and don't like it and would be interested in trading that for the four samples that would be preferred.

I've messed up and need a new 78G M nib, and was wondering if anyone had some they want to get rid of? I'm perfectly happy to trade other pens (including other sizes of 78G nibs), ink samples or cartridges.

Well I must say I've been bit by the FP bug. I own a Waterman Opera with a M nib that I purchased some 15 years ago, used it a little while and put it away in favor of ball[points and roller balls Well about six months ago I pulled the pen out from storage, cleaned it, put a cartridge in it and BOOM......... magic. So I started looking for information on pens on the web, stumbled on this forum and since then: Sent the Opera to Letta at Pendemonium for a CI grind - Yummy. Bought a TWSBI Diamond 580, VAC700 and a Noodler's AHAB Flex. I've found out about Richard Binder, Pendleton, Tyler Dahl, Noodler's, Goulet, Franklin Christoph, etc. So my enthusiasm for fountain pens keeps growing. Now if you don't mind I'd appreciate some advice. I have a few more pens that I'd like to purchase, but to do that I'm trying to sell a few items and would like guidance as to the best place to go to do so: Waterman Legrand Roller ball Waterman Starwalker Ballpoint Pen I'm also considering sellins my Diamond580 to buy a second VAC700 only because I find the grip on the 700 way more comfortable than the 580 (I know... picky). This pen has a TWSBI B nib ground to CI by Tyler Dahl. Would EBay be my best option? Thanks you all.
