Hello everyone,

Time for me to accept the truth that I have hardly ever used these pens and that they need a new home.

I'm offering a Pilot Vanishing Point 2011 Limited Edition Pink and a Sailor Professional Gear Imperial Black Special Edition.

The Sailor was one of my earliest grail pens. The matte black design is a sight to behold, and the nib is truly magnificent.
It is a H-M nib, which means Hard Medium. You can squeeze out some line variation but I wouldn't recommend pushing the
nib too far. Line width is more like a European Fine, which is to be expected. I have not filled this pen 10 times yet, I always
seem to reach for bigger pens when it's time for a refill. I always use Pelikan, Montblanc or Diamine inks in my nicer papers,
so you don't have to worry about clogs and the like.

All boxes and papers are included. A Sailor converter that I bought separately is also included. Asking $190 US for this very nice
pen, plus shipping. Please contact me for a shipping quote to your neck of the woods. PayPal charges are on me.

The Pilot VP is a very well known pen and I have been infatuated with them when I first got into fountain pens but I could never
find a color that truly made me go nuts. A while later I discovered the limited editions and the pink LE and the purple LE found their
ways to me. I have since gifted the purple one. It turns out that I don't like the Vanishing Point form factor. I have only filled this pen
3 times, and the last time was to prepare a writing sample for this ad. Sadly, I can't locate the box, it must have been misplaced while
moving. The price is adjusted accordingly of course.

As you may know, the pink VP is hard to find now, 5 years after its release. There were only 2011 of these pens made and that was it.
The one I'm offering is number 0078/2011. The converter, two cartridges and a cartridge sleeve will be sent with the pen. These were
sent with the pen. The nib is a very, very smooth B nib, which of course is more like a European Medium. The nib is very springy and
it gives a very nice cushioning effect while writing. The body itself is amazing, it is very hard to capture the depth of the material, it simply
isn't a pink body, there is a depth to the pink. Apparently it is hard for me to describe it as well.

Asking $200 US + shipping. Please contact me for a shipping quote to your neck of the woods. PayPal charges are on me.

I have bought these pens new and I am their first owner. If you have any questions or want me to clarify something please let me know.

Cheers!

I have been drooling over that Pro gear for some time now, I'd need to sell a few pens tho to warrant a new purchase! Good Luck with the sale!
