If that's true, we'd best pick one up now while they're still available at the very affordable full-retail price :-\Originally Posted by peterpen53

A friend of mine picked his Hitchcock up last week, I tried it out, it really is lovely! The nib is wonderful but even better is the finish I thought, the way they have captured the vertigo wave is incredible, as you twist the pen it makes your eyes go funny! He got his from worldlux and managed to get it for just over $3200 all in!

My Double jewel vac is coming back from danny fudge repair tommarow! I can't wait!
I am ALMOST through with my money raising for the Pelikan m400 white torty. Remeber how my blue m400 came back brand new after pelikan repaired it? Well, I sold it because I planned to buy a white tortoise with the money. But then my dad said that I only really made $157 off of it because of the high shipping costs to australiaso I've been waiting for one of my pens to sell to make the $50 bucks I need. Then, I'll have my dream pen!
I'm currently waiting on two, a Conklin Stylograph Mosaic (modern), and a blue Parker Vacumatic. I'm kind of gambling with the Conklin, as I don't have any experience with the modern brand. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow so I can start putting it through the paces.
The only conklin I dream of is one of those gorgeous vintage nozacs.....someday!
The Pens Under $30 thread got the best of me.
I went looking for a cheap Hero 616. And I found one on isellpens.com. But it seemed silly to pay more for shipping than the pen, so ...
I added a Lamy Safari, lime green, fine nib. There is a free converter promo, so I figured that saving $5 justified my purchase.
Last year's limited edition fushcia would have been my color of choice (I love pinks and purples), but this year's green is pretty too. At least it should be easy to find on my desk. I think 2013's Safari should be made with a GLOW IN THE DARK material!!
While browsing the isellpens site, I saw a pretty, lavender Hero calligraphy set for $10. So I decided to treat myself to an early birthday present. I've thought about getting a dip pen so I can try learning calligraphy but was scared off by the following formula:
Melissa + open ink bottle = MESSY DISASTER!
Along with my current Noodler's Konrad, these pens should keep me busy for awhile. Now I just need to decided on five or six ink samples. Hard. I've been moving samples in and out of my cart for the past four days!

After my secon GEHA Schulfüller and the two Dixi 250 Ebay made me shop again: WENDE IDEAL from the early 70's...ebay is evil...
...in that wonderfully sinful way =)
Still the best way to get older German school/student pens...and now I only have to get them shipped from Germany to Japan. What a hassle ~_~
Just ordered a pair of Delta piston fillers from PenTime.com. My pen budget is shot (and then some), but I'll be excited to get them.
Two arrived today: Shaeffer Admiral Snorkel 5.sk 1954 blue gold nib x6 and Duke 209. How's that for variety? Haven't inked either yet.
I'm waiting for 4 Sheaffers. Ok I overdid it this month.
what kind, jor412?
A Konrad in demo blue (my first Noodler's pen) and a Platinum Preppy in blue with eye dropper conversion in its future.
