What Pen Are You Waiting For In The Mail 2017

[Lexus77]

So, it's payday and I went on a budget shopping spree, ordering some pens I had had my eyes on for a few days now.

- Jinhao X750
- Waterman unknown model. Hard to tell on the photograph.
- Parker 51-like model, again hard to tell on the photograph.
- Duke uranus M08
- Hero 7009

Also, I bought two 30ml bottles of Diamine ink (autumn oak and Emerald-my first bottled inks), 2 pelikan international converters, and parker quink cartridges.

As for the Waterman and Parker... I can tell they're the advertised brand by the photographs, and they seem to be in good condition, but the reason I got them dirt cheap is the seller doesn't really know what he's selling.

Edit: This way I have some things to look forward too. I've had a rough time, and wanted to have some things coming to be excited about. I like the idea of 'gifts' trickling in through snail mail.

Dang it. I forgot that I ordered a Waterman Kultur in clear, with an F nib. It will be another knockabout pen for my collection.

Pilot Custom 823.... fine and medium have been essentially sold out in North America for over a month. Still are.

So, the Platinum 3776 hits Tokyo on the 15th, NY on the 16th, then on to New Jersey, Philadelphia, Wilmington then BACK to Philadelphia! Is the USPS crazy or what?!? I'm starting to wish I never looked the first time! Any bets on where it lands next?

Platinum #3776 from Amazon.co.uk. The offered a £10 discount today, and I have a gift voucher too. So, I just broke my resolution not to buy anymore pens till the London Pens Show. Oops.

I am awaiting the return of my Caran D'ache Madison. Bought from e-bay, but cracked. Sent to C'dA's UK representatives and hoping for a cheap and speedy return.

NOS Sheaffer Imperial III. I lost one of my two last year and really enjoy writing with it, so i purchased a replacement to serve as a backup. It is strange that i tend to like thicker pens, but the Imperial III is one of my daily users.

Just ordered a Parker Sonnet Dark Grey (Rhodium with f/nib.) It isn't gonna come for a while due to international shipping, but I can wait . It's the most expensive pen I ever bought (Costing 267$) but I bought it for about 170,000 won (146$ in USD.) Huge steal

A little humor on the side; I think we can all relate to this...
