I want to trade my Visconti Homo Sapiens for your...

[heraclitus682]

...?

[Annie]

You can have my right arm, a Parker 17 in green (which isn't very nice) a Duofold with a nice broad nib (shame it's missing the cap) a packet of chocolate biscuits of undetermined age, 3 quid I found down the back of the sofa and my left kidney. Will that do? Please?

[heraclitus682]

Hmm...VERY tempting. Let me think about it.

Oh you drive a hard bargain. Okay, I'll throw in my spleen, my ex mother in law and my neighbour's 4 year old cat.

[heraclitus682]

Sorry, already have a mother in law. I don't need another.

[Jon Szanto]

Five Platinum Preppies. Used.

[heraclitus682]

Wow! Five pens for just one! I don't know thought, I already have one offer that includes 3 squids. I do love seafood.

[Jon Szanto]

Well, you didn't give any clue as to what you'd like in return, and it does have that ugly clip. I've got some halibut in the fridge...

Why is everyone being so troll??

Oh, *please*. Just having fun! When the OP asks totally open-ended, no clue as to what they are looking for, all we can do it poke around a bit in a good-natured manner and see about responses.

I don't think the OP is offended, and it is obvious that these (at least mine) aren't serious offers. What are YOU willing to trade for it?

[heraclitus682]

Wait! So you aren't willing to trade the preppies and the halibut for my pen!? Why are you wasting my time? (no offense taken here, having fun)

[Annie]

Apologies. Poor attempt at funny because I would love the pen and have nothing to offer of similar value. Thread jack mode now set to off.

No, he's just fishing. Sorry, I really will STFU now. It is a lovely pen though.

[heraclitus682]

Okay, to help everyone out I like Montblanc, Pelikan, shrimp, Nakaya, Delta...um...Platinum, Pilot, or if anyone has any Saddleback leather products.

[Annie]

Enough now. I'm going down the pub. I'll take a brio with me...

Oh... im sorry :P
Just curious

[hari317]

what is the nib on the pen? filling system: plunger or piston?

[heraclitus682]

Fine nib, plunger system. It's the full sized bronze pen not the midi. It has a personalized magnetic cap top with the initial "TH". To me it stands for "The Homosapiens"

[hari317]

Thanks B! hope all is well at your end.

Hari

[heraclitus682]

I will sell this pen for $300 shipped to conus.
