Those cute and cheap shark pens by Jinhao. Orderdc on eBay to get a gray one. 99¢ each except the green, and free shipping. Lots of folks getting them at pen club. Ana from Well Appointed Desk blog brought them first filled with Colorverse inks. Fun to try out.

 

Heres the thing: 99¢ pens that come with converters. Hello Lamy?

I have 823 B as well and it's one of my top pens. It writes as nice as pens I have that cost twice as much. I did expect it to write a little wider but it makes me happy every time I use it.

It is simply a pleasure to use. I await a Nakaya desk pen with a Mottishaw CI. Tracking indicates it is not moving in my direction. I don't believe that. On the other hand, I will believe it is coming when it comes.

 

When it comes, I will have an Omas 1990s Paragon that write

Ive done something a little crazy. I put in for a Michaels Fatboy Civil war bronze cannon ballpoint with the carriage wheeled stand. Ive had this on my radar for a long time now and it seems like theyre becoming a bit rare. I also have a thing for cannons so, lit the fuse. Ended up with the Union version since I liked the flared cannon barrel a little better. Im sure it will be a nice conversation piece on my desk at work.

Pelikan MK21, if the seller has been truthful. If all goes well, this would be my 2nd gold-nibbed pen.

Thank goodness Pelikan sold so many pens in Italy until the arrival of ballpoints!

My Aurora 88 Marte was feeling lonely, so I'm waiting for a Urano to keep him company. I also have a two-pen leather case with sterling fittings from Bespoke British Pens that appears to be stuck in Chicago. What a surprise.

Mottishaw posted my Nakaya desk pen, with a broad cursive italic nib, Wednesday morning. Then for four days, UPS showed no progress. Now suddenly, it shows up in Chicago! I may receive a Nakaya after all!

I just noticed I didn’t finish my earlier post. I believe I meant to say, I will have a great writing OMAS and then a Nakaya, both with Mottishaw cursive italics. My OMAS writes beautifully, though very wet. I expect the Nakaya to write at least as well, though maybe not quite as wet.

Hi,

 

I'm waiting for a about 100 years old Mabie Todd Swan eye dropper from Ireland.

I found the nib fascinating... Will it be fine, much flex???

My Nakaya desk pen in Aka-tamenuri, with a broad Mottishaw CI, is circling my town looking for me. I feel like a kid at Christmas.

[biancitwo]

My first effort to post the arrival of my Nakaya failed to appear, so I tried again. Then they both showed up.

Tarumi Apricot arrived in record time (thanks, Atsu ) & Sailor QC just can't score a victory for me. First the Promenade MF, then a 1911S/M music, & finally the Sapporo F all arrived with ootb misalignment to varying degree. It's something I anticipate having to correct on any new pen, but it stills comes as a disappointment when I do. Lovely pens all, but come on, Sailor, step it up.

Platinum Kumpoo and Iroshizuku Yama Guri from Goulet Pens.

 

Ordered it on Friday and still not shipped.

Also, somewhat disappointed with Goulet's customer service as I wnated to add one item to my order and they just simply refused!

 

Probably my last time ordering from them

Just a Plaisir for me. I balked on the $100 pen idea I was toying with.

That's really strange, I've never experienced anything like that from them!

Impatiently waiting for a Bexley Imperial, Diplomat Aero, a FPR Darjeeling and a Pelikan M200. I ordered these pens at different times over the last month or so, and per the tracking, they will all show up tomorrow or Thursday! Wish I'd planned it that way!

I’m still waiting on the Cafe Creme Pelikan I ordered. I had an orange notice about a missed delivery on the 28th even though I was at home. I never heard the doorbell ring, and I have good hearing. So I figured crud, now I have to wait till Monday. I was watching and saw the letter carrier. No package (last time this happened the package came the next (delivery) day), but he figured tomorrow and took the orange notice.

 

Tomorrow came (today), and no pen delivery. Now I’m getting anxious about this order. If it doesn’t come tomorrow, I might have to go to the Post Office. Trouble is, delivery is around 4:30. Oh I want my Pelikan Cafe Creme!
