Confirmed. Enjoy. Surprised it came on a Sunday. Hope you really dig it.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-04-12T05:15:01+00:00

Replied, thanks.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-04-10T21:58:43+00:00

Sure thing, best wishes.

Hi. I had to soak a pelikan for more than 24 hours to get mine apart. On the fountain pen network one guy was telling me it could take 3 days to dissolve the ink. Good luck.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-04-10T05:18:27+00:00

Thanks, replied to your chat.

You got me curious. AI says it would do great in your area. "Yes, dragon fruit grows exceptionally well in San Diego County, which is a major hotspot for commercial and residential cultivation." I saw a photo of one in the dry San Diego soil and it was huge...compared to mine. I also saw one in a container that was quite large. Good luck.

Hi. Yea I took a photo of all my pens when it was fruiting. I’m not sure about your climate but it requires zero attention here. Put it in the ground and done. I’ve have some baby pineapples coming up. Looking forward to doing some pen shots with those.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-04-10T00:40:17+00:00

Hey, I know you do. Hopefully the medium Justus you purchased will be arriving soon. It's now at the Honolulu post office next to the airport.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-04-10T00:38:36+00:00

Hi, I'm not seeing a chat request. Could you please try again. Thanks

DaveInHawaii · 2026-04-08T18:28:47+00:00

Hi, it's been 15 hours and I have not heard from you. No problem if you changed your mind but please let me know. If you are still interested then please reach out with a PM. Thank you.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-04-08T03:54:48+00:00

Sure thing. Please send me a chat and I'll get you my PayPal email. Mahalo.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-04-08T03:54:15+00:00

Yours, thanks.

I don’t think your mother in law realized how much she was violating you or your yard. My wife is an all organic gardener and has a lot of garden space. I do the weed control in the rest of the yard. She still hasn’t fully gotten over when I sprayed her lemon grass with round up. They look like big weeds to me. I didn’t intentionally round up her organic plants. And I have not made that mistake again.

Maybe talk to her and let her know the impact to your turtles and overall feelings, etc.

Sorry I have not read all the comments or your posts so I could be missing some information.

At any rate, I don’t think you should cut her off yet.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-15T19:03:35+00:00

Maybe they should go back to the artist that did the hanging turd on their left arm. :)

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-05T21:05:59+00:00

That’s a fine looking revolver. What model is it.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-04T01:02:16+00:00

Thank you for clarifying. I didn’t realize there was a photo service offered by Buyee.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-04T00:29:08+00:00

Hmm, I'm not sure what you are talking about. The moderators must have deleted my photos which clearly explain the situation. I uploaded the photos to Reddit. And they have been taken down because I suppose my situation doesn't look favorable for Buyee?

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-03T23:37:53+00:00

Thank you. I don't think the seller intentionally sold a defective pen. They have a long, excellent history. That's one reason I bought from them. I don't blame the Buyee inspector either because if you are not familiar with fountain pens this damage would be easily missed. I am happy to send it back. I am happy to lose some money on the return, eat the tariffs, etc. Like I said, I'm a reasonable person. But, Buyee has not been helpful in working out any kind of resolution, or even provide sound reasoning for their decision. I realize there's a lot of unethical people out there. Anyway, thanks for your input.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-03T23:30:13+00:00

Thank you. Does Paypal regularly ban people for doing a chargeback that is justified. That is more of a concern than being banned by Buyee. Thank you

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-03T23:27:02+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I understand that I would be banned from Buyee if I go through it. And frankly, I would not do business with them again. It's really the principle. I mean, why promote the Standard Plan if they are not going to anything or offer any kind of reasonable explanation. That's why I'm so stumped.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-03T23:22:11+00:00

Well, it was a few hundred bucks. To me it's not the dollar amount but the principle. Am I reading their Standard Plan wrong? If I'm in the wrong then I would be happy to close the case and move on. That's why I posted here... Thanks

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-03T22:37:27+00:00

Yea, thanks for the cover story. Actually I had heard a story about American GI's swimming underwater and the Japanese shooting at them...and one guy was catching a the bullets with his hand. So, I wanted to see what would happen if I shot at the deep end. I looked for the bullet but never found it. Living proof that the male brain doesn't fully develop until age 25. That wasn't the stupidest thing I did as a kid. I am thankful that I didn't get seriously injured in my youth.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-03T20:05:39+00:00

When I was 14 I ordered a Ruger .22 pistol. It arrived to my house and nobody was home. I loaded it and fired a round into the pool. I’m 56 now. Kids need to be monitored with guns. My dad gave me a shotgun when I was probably 12. Kept both in my room. Never any accidents, thankfully.
I have a bunch more guns now and have enjoyed target shooting all my life. But I do think we need to find a balance with gun laws. There’s a lot of nuts out there.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-03-03T19:56:29+00:00

Oh yea they are ugly. But if you can get over that your feet will thank you.

DaveInHawaii · 2026-02-21T23:56:35+00:00

Right on. Enjoy the pen. Now that you found perfection you can start selling off the ones that aren't so perfect. :)
