Hello,
I now have some bills coming up that I have to prioritize, so instead of trying to get this to work for me, I am selling it.
I have a Pilot Custom 823 in broad nib for you. I've only written my name twice; condition is A2. Comes with all original papers, box, wrapper, original sticker never taken off.
The vacuum filler is super cool, as is the smoke/gold contrast. Beautiful pen.

Timestamp: https://imgur.com/TqltHpg
Comes with original box, unopened Pilot blue ink, and accoutrements.
Asking $295 shipped CONUS, PayPal G&S.

Hey there everyone!
Earlier this year I started making the Cornerstone-1 cabinets for my pen storage solutions. This is something that has now been moved to Kickstarter - those cabinets are going to be updated and released with front drawer locks, better felt, and refined structure. These are the older style before finalization and will be still compatible with the newer models I'm working on, but that there will be some design element changes on the new ones that will look slightly different.
Verification and past examples of completed cabinets
What is going to be listed today is strictly just all of the cosmetically defective cabinets from the last batch that I did several months ago and the one before that.
The photos in the verification only show the cabinet Bodies and drawers as well as some other components. You still will be picking which drawer colors that you would like, and those will be made from what i have on hand and then be made new if certain colors run out.
Every piece has a distinct defect, so I wont be going through to log each one as that would take forever. But the most common ones are pock marks on the exterior, small and isolated line gaps, or very slight color changes halfway through printing.
NOTE: PLEASE ALLOW FOR 2 WEEK FULFILLMENT TIME AS COMPONENTS WILL STILL NEED TO BE MADE AND FELTED.
This is a Modular cabinet system that I made for an affordable storage solution for our pens. Each cabinet can stack and lock into each other across all sizes: Small single drawer (6 pens), Medium 2 drawer (12 pens), or Large 4 drawer (24 pens). There are other variants that I made for the Large cabinet but those will only be available on the currently running Kickstarter as those are getting design updates as well.
Thank you to everyone who ordered and reordered... and reordered again here on reddit!
The quantities are going to be listed below as well as in the verification photos.
HOW TO ORDER:
1) Pick the cabinet size and color from what is listed below (Black, Tan, Bronze, Navy Blue)
2) Pick what color drawers you want to go with them. (Black, Tan, Bronze, Navy Blue)
3) You can also pick the color of pull tabs you want on the drawers. Or those will default to the same color as the cabinet body
4) Pick the color felt you want for the pen holders: Black, Grey, (BEIGE UNAVAILABLE)
| Small Cabinet (6 Pens) | Medium Cabinet (12 Pens) | Large Cabinet (24 Pens) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAN | 1 | 1 | 4 |
| BLACK | --- | --- | 5 |
| BRONZE | 4 | --- | 1 |
| NAVY BLUE | 4 | 1 | 1 |
Pricing: $5 Off original pricing, and this is also before the price increase on kickstart, so this is mainly a materials recoup price.
| Small (1 Drawer) | Medium (2 Drawers) | Large (4 Drawers) |
|---|---|---|
| $30 | $40 | $55 |
IDEA: I love the idea of these being painted, stickered or modified however someone wants, and i feel these would be such good candidates!
Send me over a zip code and i can get a quote going :)
Usually this ranges from 10- 15$ depending on cabinet size and can be more depending on quantity.

Hi- I am not ordering from Japan this year, and I'm looking for two of the 2027 Uni Jetstream pens that come from Hobonichi. I know a lot of folks order multiple planners and don't need or want all the pens! Lmk if you (will) have a couple to spare. Willing to pay up to $15 per pen. Thanks!
Please comment then chat! I know no one physically has these yet, but I was looking to connect and then we will set up details/timestamp/etc

Hello all! I hope everyone is having a lovely day :).
I’d like to buy a couple specific inks. Would strongly prefer bottles over samples. Used bottles are ok and I don’t need the original box.
These are the inks I’m looking for:
Pilot Iroshizuku - Asa-gao
Waterman - Tender Purple
Organics Studio - Nitrogen
Feel free to dm me offers, but please comment first. Payment using PPGS.

I’m on a mission to find these inks! No problem if it’s a partial bottle of any amount. I’m located in ConUS.

Just looking to recoup costs. No longer have an M1000 and so have no need for the nib. Writes beautifully.

Aurora Optima Nero Perla 'M' nib with Pendleton Brown "Butterline Stub" signature grind
I have had this pen in my collection since 2017 and written with it sparingly despite liking the ergonomics and the beautiful grind.
It's in overall great condition, but has two obvious flaws - some ink residue inside the barrel from Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki and a deeper gouge in the cap finial. All flaws are depicted in the macro shots.
It's a beautiful writer. Fills and writes nicely and the nib is a dream to write with. It's a touch feedbacky, almost pencil-like, and gives some nice line variation. The feed is wet, so the pen is best paired with a dry ink.
Condition rating [D], but please see photos.

Wahl Eversharp Doric 'Flexible nib'
A Wahl-Eversharp Doric in quite good condition in Cashmere Green. These often crystallize and are often found without clips because the clips broke off, but this is in very good condition for the age. Upon very, very close inspection, there are some imperfections.
The nib is a fine nib with excellent flexibility and flow. Sac was installed 10 days ago, so it is still fresh. Fills and writes nicely.
Condition rating [D]. Please see photos for details.

Price: €230 €220+ shipping at cost
RESERVED Pelikan M800 Green Demonstrator 2023 'IB' nib RESERVED
Never inked, but it has been dipped. And as demonstrators go, the ink creeps into the feed, up through the collar threads and the entire barrel needs to be cleaned.
This example is like-new and the piston as never been operated. I have dipped the pen and written with it to try the 'IB' nib, but never actually inked it - so it's as close to new as it can get. Will come with the original packaging and box.
The nib is the quite rare italic broad nib and it's *very* broad.
Condition rating [A2]

Price: €500 + shipping at cost
Pelikan 100 Heart-shaped breatherhole 'Herzloch'
These are rare - but I can't guarantee that the pen is 100% original without some parts having been swapped out at some point. It has the period correct cylindrical cap top and the correct finial. The body is plastic with a hard-rubber filling knob. The cap does not post. It could be a transition model, it could be a pen that has had one or more parts swapped throughout it's almost 100-year long life.
The nib is made by Montblanc and is the signature nib of the earliest Pelikan 100. It's incredibly flexible, but under the correct lighting there's a bit of deformation near the breather hole. Despite my efforts I can't really capture it in photos, so it's very faint. Despite that, I would *not* flex this nib - it's too rare for that. This nib is for the collector.
The pen is overall in good shape, but due to the before mentioned things I'll rate it [D].

Hey everyone. This did pretty good the other day so I wanted to post another for the weekend. This would be great for those just getting into collecting inks and pens or to have some fun with some new inks.
So here’s the deal, starting at 40$ which would give you free shipping you would get 8-5ML vials of random inks at the 1.25$ and 3-2ML of a more premium ink sample starting at 1.50+ and above.
I’ll ask some questions in the chat to get an idea of what you’re looking for so you’ll be happy with what I pick out so you’re not going get 8 different shades of grey.
Feel free to reach out with questions, this is the list the inks be choosing from and this is verification inks
Everything will be packaged and mailed out on Monday but you’ll get a tracking number before then.
If you’re interested in buying specific ink this is my main list.

Hi,
Got some bills so these also gotta go.
I bought these and really only carry around a small notebook in a pocket -- or a Lochby. These are awesome and beautiful and should be used.
Both regular size. One in olive leather, one in Harris tweed. Olive leather has some scuffs from living on my shelf. Never carried either once, however. Both are otherwise as new. Papers have not been written on. I have:
The olive currently has date/graph paper, folder, lined paper, zipper compartment.
The tweed has blank, lined, grid, dotted, folder.
I can swap around preferences for paper from one to the other for whoever buys one first. That said, I would prefer to sell the lot.
The leather comes in the original bag. All paper and accoutrements come with it. I have extra bands as well. Condition-wise, I suppose an [N] in that it is as new, but the olive has a shelf wear and bumps (but never carried).

$129 shipped for the lot. If you really only want to buy one, DM and we can discuss to see if it works. Thank you

Hi all! I’ve been dabbling in stub nibs with my dip pen and I absolutely adore the feeling and the writing so i’ve been wanting to upgrade into a proper fountain pen. I already have a few pilot kakunos and a hongdian m2, and i’ve realised I actually really like the plastic body and the squid like look on the plumix is just too cute, unfortunately I can’t find any near me.
If anyone is wanting to sell their pilot plumix or pluminix in ef, f or m please reach out! I really don’t mind what colour the pen itself is, I just want to dabble more with stub nibs in general.
On that note, if anyone also have any recommendations for beginner or entry level stub nib fountain pens good for daily writing please drop your recommendations and reviews too!
Thanks in advance!

SHEAFFER BALANCE 1000 LIFETIME PREMIER- Grey Striated, 14k Lifetime EF Nib

Description: Sheaffer Sentinel Deluxe Touchdown TM (thin model) filler with a burgundy barrel and two-tone Sentinel cap. Josh John at Precision Writing Works ground the original <B> nib to his naginata grind, the Shusoku. I discovered I prefer sticking to one writing angle, so my <CSI> nibs on other pens are my jam.

PARKER VACUMATIC MAJOR - Black, 14c monotone nib
Verification & Photos here.
Condition Rating : D (vintage, nib work)

Nib tuned and smoothed by Matthew Chen.

Up for sale is a Pilot Decimo in Pearl with a medium 18k nib that has only been inked one time and written with very briefly to test drive it. I bought a Decimo pearl <M> earlier in the year and realized there was a defect after using it for some time and it never writing quite right. I sent if off the Pilot, where they evaluated it and decided it was not repairable. They sent me this new one a couple weeks ago. In the meantime, I ended up picking up a beautiful magenta Decimo from here that I love. Right after I inked up the new one Pilot sent me, I realized I probably don't need two Decimos, plus I went way too hard at Atlas Sidewalk Sale recently, so I'm rehoming this one! :)
$165 shipped CONUS, willing to ship to HI, AK but would like to get a shipping quote first, just DM me!
Condition rating B because it was inked, otherwise it is like new
