Harry Potter GoF pen

[chupie]

Oo. Now THAT is very fun. I wonder who made the ink? That would be worth collecting if I was into spending big bucks. What a cool Media item. THey usually aren't that fun.

[chupie]

I want these pens! Got to figure out how to get them.

Elaine, are you the Elaine who won one of these?

[Elaine]

Yup, and paid way way too much. I meant to snipe it but somehow got confused as to which buttons I was pushing. My head was kind of muddled when I did it and I didn't estimate the pounds/dollar conversion well. I also didn't think enough about how much the shipping would be. Before I knew it I had entered a large amount on the eBay site itself. I suppose I could have retracted. On the other hand, I did win the pen

I think this is great move by the company and a large step for the breath of fountain pens.

 

 

 

It is my hopes that some die hard Harry Potter fans(both young and old) discovered the niche of fountain pens.

 

 

If only we could promote fountain pens in the way that the cheese or milk industry advertises.

 

"Got Ink?"

 

"Behold the power of fountain pens!"

Heh. That would be a great commercial! Elaine, I think you will enjoy it enough to make it worth your while. I actually use this pen more than my others (putting in J. Herbin cartridges). Unfortunatley, I found yet ANOTHER one. *sigh* which I am now bidding on. It's really too bad they don't sell them over here at least a bit. I know they would sell. I did get an email from the defunct Stypen website that said they will have their site up soon. They have NBA and Superman models. That kind of fun pen could really be a boon.

It's really nothing new in Europe. You can find a huge quantity of school fountain pens with all children themes you can imagine. There are even NFL and NBA themed school fountain pen. Most anime, comics or kid movie characters have their line. Fountain pens are big business over there.

[chupie]

BTW, Elaine, I paid more than that a bit. That should make you feel better!

[Guest Denis Richard]

I really should have bought a load of these back in November. I think I saw them for 9 Euros at the Supermarket.

[chupie]

That's what I mean! I've seen people on other boards looking for them too. You should have!

And I was thinking about it when I saw them, but that was before you guys got crazy about it. Had it not been such a busy vacation, I would have posted about it. :bonk:

 

Well... next time I'll take a pic of the FP aisle, post it and ask if anyone sees something they want.

[Guest Denis Richard]

FYI, you paid more because of those people

[grasshopper]

Denis, do you have a backache or are you just too tall for the camera? :ph34r:

Apart from the bay, do you know of any online shops that might sell these?

Nope. And believe me I SEARCHED and searched. That's the reason I've been using eBay!

placing camera on the shelf... timer... running... fitting in...

I really like that photo. It's such a "slice of life" capture.

[Elaine]

It shouldn't. But it does

[chupie]

I'm not at all sorry for what I paid either. With the box and badges it's a true collectible. It's also my favorite writer of the four pens so far. They all make my workday brighter, so I figure it was a good buy no matter what! I was just putting them away last night and feeling "happy" about them and I thought, you know, this was just the BEST idea.

I don't know if you saw it or not but on the greenboard at pentrace there is a fellow that is going to work with a pen shop to get some of the three single pens (see "my new pen and inks" thread in this section) and sell them at cost as a set. You'll end up with a better deal that way!

[Elaine]

Yup I saw it and put in my order
