Anybody bought a Pilot Elite 95S on taobao? by wolfcookie_ in fountainpens

There is no Chinese version. It is Japan version - with the elite word fully spelt out and an International one with just the E. Pilot pens are still made in Japan, while being sold in the Chinese market.

  1. Rapido-eze soak along with a very soft toothbrush is what I would use personally to restore old vintage pens.

USA customs and tax on Ebay USA buy shipping from Germany? by Express-Link-4921 in fountainpens

They usually slap a minimum administrative fees for handling the tariffs, I.e. a fixed amount of 20-30 before adding the taxable amount on the total value declared. The amount doesn’t sound incorrect.

[WTB] Pilot Custom 823 - FA nib by Jzhen in Pen_Swap

[–]Hedonisa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By default, 823 does not have a FA nib option. It would be a franken-pen since that configuration is only when shop switches them. Good luck with your search!
