hello all!
a little disclaimer first: for a while i was just writing with my pens and inks rather than geeking out over them, and i also did not follow what was going on on "the market" (or on this still amazing forum, for that matter!). so i don't know if there is already a thread concerning this - maybe someone could point me in that direction if so.
recently i wanted to replenish my sailor "yama-dori" ink and found that it is obviously discontinued. while i've found a source by now, i noticed that sailor is apparently changing their entire line of inks from the 50ml bottles (18$/bottle) to 20(!)ml bottles at $15 which makes not only for a more than 100% price increase, but also a rather ridiculously small amout of ink per unit. in addition to this, i found aggravating that the names have obviously changed (once again), and it is anybodies guess to what degree the inks have changed. i find this a rather strange marketing strategy... any thoughts?
