FS/FT Acme "Quote", Waterman Hemisphere, Waterman Phileas

**bbarton713** · 08-01-2011, 07:30 AM

Ok, ok!!! I changed my mind!!! I will do one more price reduction because...

As I've settled into this hobby my tastes have evolved over time and these pens just don't do it for me. Both the Acme and the Hemisphere will sometimes be slow in terms of ink flow. I don't know if it is me or the ink but the pens are in great shape.

The Acme pen is the "Quote" and comes as a fountain pen but also has the attachment to make it a ball point pen instead. It has an ink converter and one ball point ink cartridge. I'll also throw in a bottle of Everflo "True Blue" ink. I'd like $100 $90 $80 and that includes Conus shipping.

The Waterman Hemisphere was a recent trade (traded my Chubby 2 in Best). It is a beautiful pen but I don't like the feel of it. The original sale included an extra converter and a bottle of Private Reserve Ultra Black. His original asking price was $80 $72 $65 and that's what I'd like to get.

SOLD!!!The Waterman Phileas was the first fountain pen I ever purchased and I'm not really sure how long I've owned it. It doesn't have a converter but I have 21 black ink cartridges that I'll include. I'd like to get $25 and it would be nice if this went to a newbie in terms of fountain pens.

All purchases include USPS Priority Mail shipping with delivery confirmation in CONUS. Payment is via PayPal.

Trades would include vintage fountain pens, specifically a Parker 51 would be awesome!

PM sent on Phileas. If purchased it would be my first FP. Thx for the opportunity!

The Waterman Phileas is good pen for someone just starting to use fountain pens - and this is a very good price for one!

I keep telling myself that I won't get started with fountain pens, but...

That Acme pen strangely reminds me of Sean Connery ;) .

I would have to agree, great prices on all the pens and all really nice quality pens.

Man, that ACME Pen is very slick...I think if I start buying pens, I am going to be in big trouble.

That's what has kept me on the sidelines as well.

Will the Pen keep me company on the couch? Because that's where I would end up...

You're a damned enabler, Bob! COMNAVHOMEPAC has been very understanding about my straight razor obsession, err...hobby. If pens started showing up in the mail as well, methinks I'd be in some doo-doo.

Get a nice notebook and then journal about your time on the couch.

Do what I did...write some love letters with the new pen. I folded each letter into a heart and not only are the pens forgiven but I have one happy wife too.

Smooth. Have you considered running for public office?

That might get one through the door, though...

Now, if you happen to have another Phileas in Green/black marble to match my Expert II rollerball, we can talk! Got one laying around, Bob?

Sorry to derail your BST thread! Over and out.
