wow, thats quite informative Octo

 

 

I ran across a FP with a glass nib when sorting through some inherited family things. It was very interesting.

I have a bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku Ink in Yama Budo. I filled my pen once, and found I simply didn't care for the color.

 

So, a blitz just for the people who are online tonight. I will pick from those who reply by 9AM Eastern Standard Time tomorrow morning (about 11 hours from now).

 

Threw you a PM, but replying as well! Love that color, looks very similar to Cactus Fruit Eel, yet is much much smoother!

I'd like to try this ink. Put me down for it too.

 

Have to say that this PIF 2013 thread is off to a great start! My hat's off to all the contributors, and congrats to all the winners!

Count me in! I will also be putting up a PiF in the coming weeks.

Darn, a goal pen lost to difference in timezones. Was hoping to get a glass-nibbed fountain pen, but I was sleeping when that PIF went up. Guess it's back to lurking in the Bay. :bonk:

If you're talking about my PiF, I may be able to send you a glass nib if you really want it. PM me and i'll let you know how many I have once I receive my shipment I actually PiF'd them before even receiving my shipment lol! I only need a couple, so I decided to PiF the rest to those who want them.

 

But yeah, pm me your info and title the PM "Glass Nib PiF", and I'll see what I can do.

PM sent. But as mentioned, I'd rather purchase it from you, and not take advantage of your generosity. People like you are the reason the FPN community is so tight knit, and despite the fact that your budgets for FPs might be a lot larger than most of us, it isn't a bottomless money pit.

Actually, I'm just a college student. Smallest budget you can think of! But I do love being generous, so I tend to give a lot. I would enjoy having made someone else happy much more than I would enjoy having a few extra pens or a few extra nibs.

Better take this conversation to a more private area. The admins might not like it that I'm posting non-related stuff on the PIF thread.

Is anyone else noticing background colors screwed up on this thread? The background is now dark green making the text difficult to read. This is the only thread which is like this for me. Other topics are fine.

For people interested in repairs:

 

I would like to give these three pens to anyone who would like to take a shot at repairing them!

 

The first is a brown lever-filler. The clip reads Majestic and the nib reads Super-Pei Iridium. It appears that the nib may need some help (the tines do not seem to align properly or perhaps one is broken).

 

The second is a red and gray lever-filler. The clip reads Traveller's and the nib reads "Vis-A-Vac Velvet Touch 3760 USA." Bits of the cracked sack have escaped when the level fill moves, so it obviously need a sac replacement.

 

The last is a gray and black lever-filler. There is no brand name on the pen, but the lever and nib appear to be fine. The nib reads "Fifth Venue. "

 

 

 

 

 

Please PM me if you are interested! I will randomly pick a winner at the end of this week.

Just to inform, i will give a pen this weekend, it is for those who are new in fps, i will give infos on Friday Morning and it will run until the end of Sunday, i will pick a name (a "randomizer" will do this bad job for me) next Monday.

I chose a winner for the Yama Budo ink -- so congrats to invisiblehats. Thank you to everyone who responded. I really wish I had enough to give a bottle to everyone!

 

This one went local, so it didn't turn out to be an issue. Last time I shipped to the UK, which was not as expensive as I thought it would be. Has anyone heard anything about new postage rates in the US? I was told international postal rates were increasing a good deal, and this makes me sad. I want to be able to continue to offer PiF's to everyone, regardless of location.

Ah what a great winner, she absolutely loves purples!

 

I shipped internationally to Canada and to the UK last week and it put a $6 chunk on my wallet for each pen. Definitely expensive, which is why I hate doing international shipping. Let me know how much it comes out to once you ship out. I'm interested as to how much i'd be spending if I PiF an ink.
