    Default Conid Sales about to be restarted

    According to member fountainbel, Conid's site is being reconfigured and Penworld in Antwerp Belgium will be the sole seller of Conid pens.

    "Penworld in Antwerp will become the sole source to buy Conid pens.

    And as you rightfully remarked their website install under construction, so stay tuned !

    Best regards,

    Francis. "

    No date yet when orders can start to be placed or what nibs will be available.

    Lifted from the Conidpen.com website:

    "Conid and Penworld decided to join hands. Our ‘Conid Bulkfillers’ will be manufactured in batches with the known high quality by our Conid Team. Penworld will be your contact for worldwide sales and support.

    To avoid the long lead times of the past, it will also only be possible to order pens that are in stock."

    No unique grinds on nibs, and no customization. So what you see available when they release is what you get, I guess.

Conid will continue producing the Bulkfillers and Penworld will do sales en support for these amazing pens. The first batch of Conidpens will be the AntwerPPen that will be available again starting October 25th. And before the end of the year another model will be in stock!"

    Please note that these batches of pens will sell out in nanoseconds.

    Are we to be treated with images of brawls at the Covid display counter?

    Tune in to the website at the appointed time. Tune in two seconds later and it'll be all over.

    Has anyone been able to score a Conid since the restart? I cannot imagine it's gonna be easy to get a foot in the door before they sell out.

    Agreed. The lack of options/choices will make me much less inclined to go for another. Maybe things will get better once they're back into the swing.

    One of the joys of Conid was the ability to customize. I am sad those options will no longer exist. I have been checking the "sale site" and have not seen any in stock, yet. I would really like to get a couple more while they are still being made.

    I see one listed on Ebay at a not outrageous price.

    I have been wondering whether Conid will keep making batches as they have said and done twice, or if they were simply moving parts inventory and are in reality done.

    According to Francis (fpn) there are new proprietary feeds which differ for gold and titanium nibs. The steel rod that was attached to the previous feeds is now attached to the piston rod. There are also changes to some clips and finials. So perhaps not done.

    But then, the direction in which the collective West is going doesn't look encouraging. I suspect we'll soon have other pressing concerns as the cookie continues to crumble.

    This is pretty much me now too. At the Dallas Pen Show this past Sept. I saw a Conid table and about knocked people over to get to it, but alas they weren't selling anything...it was just to "demo" their pens. What is the point? Why drum up interest in something no one can get? Huge letdown. A long time ago, there was a point I would have sold half of my pen collection to fund one, but now I just don't care anymore. There are SO many good pens that are readily available to choose from - and for less money...
