Dear Noodler's Konrad (http://www.gouletpens.com/Noodlers_Tahitian_Tortoise_Konrad_Flex_Pen_p/n14009.htm)--
It's not you, it's me. You came so highly recommended, but when push came to shove, I'm just not technically proficient enough for you. Your piston didn't work, so Goulet sent me a new one, which I lubricated generously with silicone grease. The new piston worked, but I never got the hang of your flex nib. A brand new Goulet #6 Two-Tone Steel Nib - 1.1mm Stub Italic (http://www.gouletpens.com/Goulet_1_1mm_Stub_Italic_6_Two_Tone_Steel_Nib_p/gpc-nib6-tt-11.htm) wrote beautifully, but then your end cap wouldn't come off. So I pulled out your nib and eyedroppered you, which worked great, but now after I write with you for more than a few minutes I get ink on my fingers.
I just don't have the right stuff to make you sing, lovely little pen. Hopefully someone else will give you a better home. I have your original packaging, original flex nib, Goulet 1.1 italic nib, and a tube of silicone grease. Hopefully someone will pay me, like $30 for you?
