Jinhao 82 pen give away

[greencobra]

i think i needed permission to do a pen karma give away. i did send off a couple of pm's asking but no reply received. i'll post it, please remove if i'm out of line with this.

 

ok, i have a new, uninked jinhao 82 clear demonstrator i'd like to find a new home for. perhaps you know of a child who'd like it, or a friend who's wanting to start trying a fountain pen...or maybe yourself, wanting to try the 82 out. the beautiful pen has a fine nib and if it writes as well as the fine nib on my 9019, the new owner is in for a treat. the furniture is gold colored. a very pretty pen. run by convertor or cartridge. it did not come in any type of box but rather a cellophane sleeve and that was put into a little bubble envelope that made it from china to the u.s. unscathed. you get all that exotic chinese shipping ephemera also.

 

the pen is smaller than i anticipated. i knew nothing of jinhao pens, wanted a clear demonstrator and hit "buy now." come on, we've all been impulsive and jumped the gun so to speak. it was just so small for my giant mitt, i didn't even try to ink it and give it a go.

 

please read the rules. this is not an expensive pen so it's not worth it to fill out custom forms and pay postage fees to send outside the conus. so please, united states participants only. maybe another time i'll do something for everyone regardless of location. please understand.

 

simply post "IN" if you want a chance to win the pen, I WILL PAY SHIPPING TO THE WINNER.

 

at the end of 3 weeks, i'll assign every entry a post number since one isn't automatically generated by the forum software.

 

using an online random number generator app, i'll have the app pick the winner. (provided more than 2 people are in the drawing). if only one person enters, well, now it's easy. that one person wins the pen.

 

THIS GIVEAWAY ENDS IN 3 WEEKS FROM TONIGHT, NOVEMBER 3, 2023 AT 8 PM. A NUMBER WILL BE DRAWN AT THAT TIME.

 

thanks for the interest

It sounds like a perfect pen to let my students try. They always admire the pens I use (that I don't let them touch!).

In.  Been hoping for something a little shorter, to better fit into my shirt pockets.

 

If I like it, odds are I'll wind up with a passel of them, that I'll try to give away.  My X750s are by now all gone.

[pensuponpens]

IN.  I was about to order one of these.

[greencobra]

still 4 days until this goes. i was hoping for a few more participants but....still plenty of time to put your name in. i do apologize for limiting it to conus only. hopefully you all outside the states understand the reasoning for that. i promise to work on something to give away for next year so everyone can participate. 

[RedPie]

Nice. I am in and if I win, @thesnark should get the pen. 😁

I've been looking at the Jinhao 82 as a possible gift to a couple of friends who have shown interest in pens but aren't quite sure if fountain pens are for them.

I'm new to fountain pens and would love a chance to try as many as I can. And of course, once I upgrade, would definitely want to PIF.
