From a Jinhao to a Sailor.... man I am proud of you Lou !!!!!

 

[DunEdinRanger]

This is all your fault. I never should have tried that Sailor with the music nib...

 

[Sullybob]

Did you pick up a Sailor Lou?

Did you pick up a Sailor Lou?

I have not acquired a Sailor Fountain Pen, but am very tempted by the event tomorrow at FPH.

 

[MissJames]

This sounds interesting. I might go just to oogle the Sailors.

 

[LouieGrandie]

You should run, not walk to any event where there is a Nagahara working on nibs. Once in a lifetime opportunity.

 

[Bayamontate]

I'll be there.

 

[JPDyson]

I dig the 1911's, and it seems like there are a lot of really wild nibs for the Sailors. Gee, thanks - another pen outside of my budget that I want.

You can score Sailors on Ebay for much, much less then the retail price.

Are these auctions or "Buy It Now"?

 

[Sullybob]

Are these auctions or "Buy It Now"?

Auctions. You just have to put in your bid and walk away until the auction is over. I bid on many Sailors before I finally won an auction.

I believe that the seller Kendokarate has buy it now sales on Sailors from time to time for pretty good prices.

 

[Jim]

I wish I had not read this.

 

[Sullybob]

Which part Jim?

 

[DunEdinRanger]

Maybe all of them? I do know that now I will not bother to bid on any Sailor Pens. Jim will be cornering the market.

 

[DunEdinRanger]

Is anyone going to this??

 

[Jim]

Is anyone going to this??

I am going to call and see if they will do this over the phone. If not, I may go.

 

[brianw]

Youse guys are making it hard not to go !!! Did you check Lou, if he would tweak a Jinhao nib??

 

[DunEdinRanger]

I was told he would tweak Hero nibs no charge, but that I would then have a hard time writing with it, as it would be stuck in a certain place where the sun doesn't shine...

If you guys are going, let me know when, and I will try to make it at that time also...

Can it be done over the phone?
