Pensive Pens is closing down, closing down, closing down

[A Smug Dill]

My wife surprised me this morning by being the one to break the news to me that Pensive Pens is having a closing down sale, when she's an avid fountain pen user but not really a hobbyist, and she never shops for pens and inks since I do all the shopping and handling in that regard.

 

So, following Pendamonium's closure only a couple of months ago, another Australian retailer known to the hobby scene bites the dust.

 

Not much appears to be left to buy except for Pilot Iroshizuku inks. If you're after any of the three more recently released colours, the 50ml bottles are A$19 each. There are also some boxed sets with four 30ml bottles each in different colours. More than ever, at this point I probably wouldn't even bother with the “random” multi-packs of KWZ Ink and Robert Oster inks; the average per-bottle price isn't that good, and the remaining stock from which the packs would be “randomly” picked would probably be the least popular colours that Pensive Pens just couldn't sell on their own.
