I only have one bottle of MB ink. (Irish Green) So price does matter to me. I don't do fleabay. I have never tried Krishna, but some of it looks good. KWZ ink used to be cheaper, and I loved that. When they increased the price it was a bummer. I got the Walk Over Vistula as a gift a while back. I do want the Baltic Memories, I did get to fill one of my pens with that ink though. I really like highly water resistant inks, and I heard they are going to make some of this in the future. They may already have some out now. I haven't looked at any pen related items, since I can't get anything new these days. I am in no danger of running out of ink though, that is for sure.

Pen Chalet apparently still has some 50ml Sailor Jentle bottles left, including Rikyu-Cha for about $11. No Yama-Dori, though.
NEXT DAY: False alarm. Sorry. See second post below. Dang!

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Their swatches page (https://www.penchalet.com/ink_refill...ottle_ink.html) is acting quirky -- you click on a swab and it shows you a price. Today it's showing either $11.11 or $16 or $22.22 for the Rikyu-Cha, if you click around the swatches randomly. Weird. Oh, blast it. There's a dropdown menu that shows remaining stock, and Rikyu-Cha isn't listed there. I think I saw it there yesterday. Must have just sold the last one. #£@$%^&****!!
SORRY.

Different prices for different colors. The Jentle Blue lists at $11.11...Kin Mouseki was $16.something. Still not bad for soon-to-be-unobtainium inks.
If I hadn't just landed nine new inks....

They aren't going to be completely unobtainium, but will cost more as they will only be available in smaller bottles. Rikyucha and Kinmokusei are both still available in the new 20ml Shikiori version at Cult Pens. Also check out the newer colours like Yodaki and Yonaga.

Got an email today from Anderson Pens on the new Bungubox ink bottles. (Bungubox ink is made by Sailor). They look just like the very old style Montblanc shoe bottles and have shrunk to a 30 ml size instead of the older 50 ml bottle. Price has increased from $43 to a new price of $49 for the smaller size. They still have the 50 ml size for some of the other Bungubox inks but I don't know if they will be replaced by the new bottles as they sell out. (Not that I could afford them at the old price. ) Are these "NEW and IMPROVED" colors or what??

The price of samples went from $3.75/3ml to $7.75/3ml.

... and Sei Boku is now Sou Boku, darker than before and in a cube bottle, still at $24.- for 50ml. the standard inks (blue, black and blue-black) seem unaffected so far and are a real bargain at $12.50/50ml?!? ...or will they be replaced as well???
