My family holds a prime membership and recently I've been seeing how long I could go for without needing to use it. Most things I was able to purchase on eBay. Most recently, I decided to buy pen stuff and JetPens was a good option. However they needed like $50 or something for free shipping so I splurged a little. The one pen ink refill I needed (Jetstream Prime SXR 600 0.5) was way too expensive on both jetpens and ebay so I had to purchase it on Amazon. Nonetheless, I think you can still buy on amazon without a membership so maybe deal with the longer shipping times but that's no biggie.
I've wanted to get a nice pen for a while. Checked out JetPens. $800 for a fountain pen 💀. I'll stick to Amazon for now
Edit: So I went back and looked through more of their stuff and third party pens found a starter pen, the LAMY Safari for $37. Now we're talking haha.
Bruh. I make pens as a hobby. Happy to make and ship you one.
I still have the three on the right and the third from the left on hand. Can also make whatever.
The stripey one, second from the right is recycled skateboard deck. Those have been really popular. I've got a big ol' stack of skateboard decks ready to go to make more of them :D
Off topic, but as a pen lover - those are lovely! Especially enjoyed the second two from the left.
I still have the third one available. I'm asking $50 for it, with free shipping to the continental US. It's padauk, canarywood, katalox, and leopardwood with an aluminum inlay and a cyanoacrylate finish..
How much for the ol bolt action?
The bolt action is wenge with a oil/wax blend friction polished finish. I'm asking $100 for it with free shipping to anywhere in the continental US. It comes with a free black faux-velvet sleeve for safekeeping.
I will ship internationally, but that's not included, sadly.
Man you must post these in the pen subs please. One of these days I'll buy one from you.
There’s a pen sub? I was on r/penturning on that other place.

Those are fantastic, thank you for sharing!! I just bought my first cheapo fountain pen and I find it really intriguing. If I stick with it, I'd definitely consider buying one from you. Do you have an online store somewhere, or could I just DM you in the future to see about buying one?
No online store. I just do it as a hobby. Feel free to dm me whenever.
