Akkerman Ink Group Buy - Delivered At Dc Pen Supershow

[Jared]

I am organizing an “Akkerman Ink Group Buy,” to be delivered in person at the upcoming DC Pen Supershow (Tyson’s Corner Sheraton Premiere). If I get “pre-orders” for 30 total bottles, the price would be $20 per 60ml bottle in an Akkerman ink color of your choice, delivered on Friday afternoon and/or late Saturday morning of the show, August 8-9. “Pre-orders” are being accepted within nine days from today or when we reach a total of 30 bottles, whichever comes first. I would like to place the ink order to Akkerman by June 14^th to ensure I receive these in time for the show, and hopefully to prevent a significant change in exchange rates between this estimate and the order.

 

Please let me know via PM if you are interested and I will reply with additional details.

 

Thanks,

Jared

So far we've got one bottle of #8 Diep-Duinwaterblauw pre-ordered.

I sure wish that it could be "delivered" by mail...DC is just a little too far from little ol' Meridian, Idaho for me to pop in (but I'd really, really, really like to!)

Such a nice offer - and can't resist!. . .

I'm adding more time for this group buy as I understand that Akkerman ships quickly and I want to give folks more time to see this opportunity and decide. I now plan to place an order on June 21st, so folks have until then to decide.

Akkerman inks are available in the US through Vanness Pen Shop in Arkansas. I do believe that they'll ship you ink, but it won't be the $20 per bottle deal that's offered here.

Yes, I know. That's what I was kind of lamenting. I don't begrudge them the need to make a profit, though. I shall just grit my teeth and place my order.

If you are thinking of buying a couple of bottles, just buy directly. If you will be in DC for the pen show, join the group buy.

You should try to reach 14 bottles by June 14. The shipping charges jump from 5 bottles to 6 and then again from 14 bottles to 15 bottles. Right now you are in a higher bracket with the minimum amount of bottles = not cost efficient. With 14 bottles you will remain at the same shipping bracket = much better.

I'm going to see if Mags could do a pick up for me. I really want one of the smaller bottles.

[RonLyke]

Sure wish I could go to the show, if only to get a cool bottle.

[evil laugh] he.. he .. he... he [/evil laugh] .. I got two bottles hand delivered straight from Netherlands...

[inkstainedruth]

Well, I just had the "talk" with my husband. And *he* said, "I thought you *were* planning to go to DCSS this year...."

So WHEEEEEE!! Looks like I'm in! Of course I still have to make hotel reservations.

Now I just have to figure out which inks I absolutely HAVE to have... I *had* narrowed it down to two specific ones, and then was going to choose from a small subset for a third. But I just looked at the color chart more carefully

Rats. Now I have to go search through the Ink Review Forum all over again. Because I really can't afford to get *all* the ones I want.... And still have *some* spending money for pans and to maybe have some of the repair people look over a couple of ones I already have. So I have to figure out what goes into that coveted third slot.

Obviously I need to win the lottery. Soon. Or stop reading this forum -- I get too easily distracted by the "ooh, shiny". There's just too many enablers around here.
Now I'm starting to feel like a judge at a beauty pageant; wonder which ink gets to be Mr/Ms Congeniality (or would that be "Congenialinkty")?

Sigh.

Well, even though he teases you about the quantity of pens and ink, you have a keeper (enabler). If you love blues - #5 Shocking blue is the best seller.

I'm giving folks more time to submit orders, but it seems like the more bottles ordered (up to 30), the bigger the discount. I'm hoping to keep the cost at $20/bottle, which is a great deal for such a unique bottle & ink.

PM sent... I was on the fence re. whether to take a day trip down to D.C., but this one definitely tips the scale!!!

[Jared]

For those who have wondered about payment, it's $20 cash upon delivery Friday afternoon or late Saturday morning of the show. I'm taking a bit of a chance in pre-ordering before receiving payment, but you're a trustworthy bunch.
