This Blog Is Not Dead!!

I'll just like to make a quick post that this blog is by no means dead; I've just been busy accustoming myself back to my home country, looking for a job, catching up with old friends, and setting up a new blog (If you are an audiophile, I will likely encourage you to check it out: http://myaudioaddiction.blogspot.sg/). Hopefully, I will soon be posting up a review of a budget pen that is available in Singapore and in the States, though only in New York. Keep an eye out for it!

Back after a long while away!

It has been a busy semester so with projects, lab reports and midterms coming from all directions. Well, I manage to find some time to post up more pens for sale. New pen reviews are unlikely to appear until I graduate in Dec and it sucks that I can predict that I won't have time till then.

I've lowered all my pen prices on the blog. I have some Parker Penman Sapphire Blue ink cartridges coming in the next few weeks so if you've always wanted to try out this legendary ink, just keep an eye out for it.

Lastly, I'll be looking to buy Sheaffer Snorkels. I am willing to consider all offers but I'll be looking out more for the following pens:

Any Sheaffer Snorkel models in rare colors

Sheaffer Snorkels Special, Saratoga, Sovereign, Clipper, Sentinel, Autograph and Triumph.

The price that I'm willing to pay will depend on the condition of the pen, the pen color, the nib, the model, and the Snorkel tube. Just because the pen does not fill does not mean I'm not interested in the pen.

So if you have a Sheaffer Snorkel that you're looking to sell, or if you've a whole collection of Snorkels that you're looking to turn into cash, just send me an email with photos of the pen, tube, and nib, and a brief description on the condition of the pen. Thanks for reading!

Brand new Pilot Capless LE 2010 in Ice Green

I'm selling a brand new Pilot Capless 2010 LE in Ice Green, with serial number 323/2010. It has a M nib. The pen has never been taken out of the plastic cover, i've just opened the green box to check for the pen and to take the photo.

I'm looking for $180 shipped for the pen. I do shipped internationally but it will cost $10 more. If you're interested, you can either pm me here, or send me an email at twistedmetal16@gmail.com.

MontBlanc 149 with 18K F nib.

I have a MontBlanc 149 for sale. This pen just came back from the Mont Blanc customer service. The following parts on the pen was replaced: The current nib is the current bi-color nib that you see on modern 149, the ink feeder was replaced, as was the pen section and pen body. The piston mechanism was replaced too. I believe the piston mechanism is made from brass, as can be seen from the last photo. The only part of the pen that was not replaced was the pen cap. The gold band on the cap is in very good condition and using Masterbrand's MB polish, I've polished up all the microscratches on the pen cap. The pen has not been inked since it was shipped back from customer service so you'll be getting a pen that is 90% new, and have been polished to look 98% new.

I'm asking $500 for it. If you're interested, or have any questions, please email me at twistedmetal16@gmail.com.

Price lowered

I've lowevered the prices on the Sheaffer Snorkels and the Parker 51 that I'm selling. If you're interested in more than one pen, I'll be happy to lower the prices even more for you. In addition, I may be putting up a Sheaffer Balance for sale tonight. Look out for it!

New pens for sale

So you noticed that I just post about 4 sheaffer snorkels for sale. I personally am a huge fan of Sheaffer Snorkels. The cheapest source of Snorkels is eBay but there's a huge RISK buying Snorkels there because most of the sellers do not know anything about Snorkels. Most of the time, the sellers will not mention if their pens can take in ink. 95% of the time, the pen will not take in ink, and the other 5% of the time, the pen interior will be in terrible conditions. Unless you can restore a Snorkel yourself, you'll have to send it to a professional. It can cost up to $40 including shipping.

So I'll like to be able to provide professionally restored Snorkels to the FP community at NO RISK to them. If you have any question or query, you can direct them to me.

Restored Burgundy Sheaffer Snorkel Sentinel with Fine-EF 14K gold nib (#4)

I have a Burgundy Sheaffer Snorkel Clipper with Fine-EF 14K gold nib for sale that has been professionally restored by Jim Baer of Nashua Pen Spa. He replaced all the seals and bladder and dip-tested the nib to make sure the entire pen is working properly. The nib, the pen body and cap have microscratches on them that came from normal daily use. No deep scratches or ding that I can see.

Asking for $75 shipped conus. If you’re interested in the original Sheaffer Snorkel box and mechanical pencil in matching color, just add $5 to the total cost. I do ship to overseas customers but there will be additional shipping and buyer assumes all responsibility. If you’re interested, contact me at twistedmetal16@gmail.com and mentioned that you want to purchase “Sheaffer Snorkel #4”.
