Thanks! Now that I'm back home (and have been for a while) in Australia, when I look in local stationery stockists and even Daiso stores in my neighbourhood, I just can't stomach paying their asking prices for the same items I bought on the trip, which are loosely threefold what I paid while in Japan. -

What a haul! Life Noble Note blanks have been my go-to journals for about a decade. (I love Mnemosyne too but the spiral bindings on most of them don’t work anymore for the system I have in place.) Nobody is doing stationery like the Japanese nowadays, so I’m quite jealous. Congratulations! -

While removing tax … I used to make the same mistake. removing x% tax from the final amount ( be 10% for japan or 21% for europe). say base price of a pen is 10000 with tax 10% so retail is 10000+ 10000*{ 10/100} = 11000) so the tax component is only 1000 for 11000 retail price pen- which is 9.09% of retail price. For Europe it would come out to be 17.35% not 21off of retail). base price + base price * tax%= retail Base price( 1+ tax%) = retail -

lamarax 2 Mar 20:38Oh well. In case of failure you can always wring the paper to have a nice -albeit somewhat stale- cup of coffee back. - T.D. Rabbit 2 Mar 10:20@Astronymus I could use cornstarch... Or i could distill it and make it very concentrated.
- T.D. Rabbit 2 Mar 10:20@lamarax That's what I used! (In reply to black coffee).. But the milk might not be good at all for paper.

Gertrude F 20 Feb 17:58Sorry think I posted this in the wrong place. Used to be a user, just re-upped. Be kind. 😑 - Gertrude F 20 Feb 17:56Looking to sell huge lot of pretty much every Man 200 made - FP, BP, MP, one or two RBs. Does anyone have a suggestion for a bulk purhase house? Thanks - and hope this doesn't violate any rules.
- lamarax 17 Feb 18:05Cappuccino should work. Frothy milk also helps to lubricate the nib. But it has to be made by a barista.
-
Astronymus 17 Feb 16:19YOu might need to thicken the coffee with something. I admit I have no idea with what. But I'm pretty sure it would work. -

Just J 25 Dec 1:57@liauyat re editing profile: At forum page top, find the Search panel. Just above that you should see your user name with a tiny down arrow [🔽] alongside. Click that & scroll down to CONTENT, & under that, Profile. Click that, & edit 'til thy heart's content! -
liapuyat 12 Dec 12:20I can't seem to edit my profile, which is years out of date, because I've only returned to FPN again recently. How do you fix it? -
mattaw 5 Dec 14:25@lantanagal did you do anything to fix that? I get that page every time I try to go to edit my profile... - Penguincollector 30 Nov 19:14Super excited to go check out the PDX Pen Bazaar today. I volunteered to help set up tables. It should be super fun, followed by Xmas tree shopping. 😁

Misfit 9 Nov 2:38lantanagal, I’ve only seen that happen when you put someone on the ignore list. I doubt a friend would do that. -

carlos.q 29 Oct 15:19@FineFinerFinest: have you seen this thread? https://www.fountainpennetwor...nging-pelikan-nibs/#comments -
FineFinerFinest 24 Oct 8:52No replies required to my complaints about the Pelikan. A friend came to the rescue with some very magnification equipment - with the images thrown to a latge high res screen. Technology is a wonderful thing. Thanks to Mercian for the reply. I had been using the same paper & ink for sometime when the "singing" started. I have a theory but no proof that nibs get damaged when capping the pen. 👍 -
Mercian 22 Oct 22:28@FineFinerFinest: sometimes nib-'singing' can be lessened - or even cured - by changing the ink that one is putting through the pen, or the paper that one is using. N.b. *sometimes*. Good luck
-
- FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 5:23I'm not expecting any replies to my question about the singing Pelikan nib. It seems, from reading the background, that I am not alone. It's a nice pen. It's such a pity Pelikan can't make decent nibs. I have occasionally met users who tell me how wonderful their Pelikan nib is. I've spent enough money to know that not everyone has this experience. I've worked on nibs occasionally over forty years with great success. This one has me beaten. I won't be buying any more Pelikan pens. 👎
- FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 4:27I've had a Pelikan M805 for a couple of years now and cannot get the nib to write without singing. I've worked on dozens of nibs with great success. Ny suggestion about what's going wrong? 😑

Glens pens 8 Oct 15:08@jordierocks94 i happen to have platinum preppy that has wrote like (bleep) since i bought it my second pen....is that something you would wish to practice on? -
jordierocks94 4 Oct 6:26Hello all - New here. My Art studies have spilled me into the ft pen world where I am happily submerged and floating! I'm looking to repair some cheap pens that are starving for ink yet filled, and eventually get new nibs; and development of repair skills (an even longer learning curve than my art studies - lol). Every hobby needs a hobby, eh ... -

JungleJim 1 Sept 1:55Perhaps it's like saying Beetlejuice 3 times to get that person to appear, though with @Sailor Kenshin you only have to say it twice? -

- T.D. Rabbit 28 July 17:54Hello! Is there a thread anywhere 'round here where one can post self-composed poetry? If not, would it be alright if I made one? I searched on google, but to no avail...

OldFatDog 26 July 19:41I have several Parker Roller Ball & Fiber Tip refills in the original packaging. Where and how do I sell them? The couple that I've opened the ink still flowed when put to paper. Also if a pen would take the foller ball refill then it should take the fiber tip as well? Anyway it's been awhile and I'm want to take my message collection beyond the few pieces that I have... Meaning I don't have a Parker these refills will fit in 🙄 -
RegDiggins 23 July 12:40Recently was lucky enough to buy a pristine example of the CF crocodile ball with the gold plating. Then of course I faced the same problem we all have over the years ,of trying to find e refill. Fortunately I discovered one here in the U.K. I wonder if there are other sources which exist in other countries, by the way they were not cheap pen - The_Beginner 20 July 20:35Hows it going guys i have a code from pen chalet that i wont use for 10% off and it ends aug 31st RC10AUG its 10% off have at it fellas
- T.D. Rabbit 19 July 9:33Somewhat confusing and off-putting ones, as said to me by my very honest friends. I don't have an X account though :<

Mort639 17 July 1:03I have a Conway Stewart Trafalgar set. It was previously owned by actor Russell Crowe and includes a letter from him. Can anyone help me with assessing its value? -

Al-fresco 21 June 12:11@Eppie_Matts Shouldn't be a problem - I've just put a Bock #6 Titanium into a La Grande Bellezza section. Went straight in without any problem. -

penned in 16 June 17:33Hi, I'm new to this forum and was wondering where is the best place to sell a Montblanc ballpoint pen? Are ballpoints allowed here? It's a beautiful pen that deserves a great listing. Thanks. -
ChrisUrbane 9 June 3:16I havent logged in here for a while. I have moved and when I try to change my location on my profile, when I go to save it, it sais 'page not found' and that I do not have authority to change that. -
Dlj 6 June 20:19I am looking for someone who can repair a Waterman Preface ballpoint that won’t stay together - Penguincollector 30 May 14:59I just noticed that the oppsing team of the game I watched last night had a player named Biro in their lineup. He must be part of Marsell the oily magician’s cadre
