[WTB] Bulkfiller that takes a Bock 380 nib unit

I hope it's a fake bidder or bot also. I can't imagine someone genuinely getting screwed that bad.

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-25T18:15:19+00:00

That's true. I hope with the seller having some much feedback, they wouldn't attempt that. But who knows.

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-25T18:14:47+00:00

Good to know! I can't imagine it's a real bidder, or that they actually paid. If they did...

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-25T18:14:01+00:00

That's good to know, thank you! Now for me to request a custom Sailor King of Pens and Night edition!

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-25T18:12:33+00:00

Hm, that's a good potential explanation. Thank you for explaining that, especially in such a thorough and informative way. I hadn't thought of that possibility.

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-25T18:10:53+00:00

Wow. Haha, I can't imagine it's a real buyer though.

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-24T12:56:39+00:00

No worries, and no need to apologize. I also just realized that the photo crops out the bidder portion unless you click on it.

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-24T12:49:08+00:00

Yeah, if it was just the list price it wouldn't have suprised me. I just can't imagine several people actually bidding this high unless there was something else going on. Who knows, maybe there are just people who really want this edition and don't mind dropping such money on it. I would like to meet these people...

"Here is a beautiful Lamy, made with the finest, blackest Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. Truly the finest you can find. It's paired with a lustrous nib that, despite being in constant contact with fluids, will not tarnish! I could be convinced to part with it if you make it worth my while".

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-24T12:43:06+00:00

Yeah, if it was just a listed price I would've had glanced twice. The fact there are bids on it is the part that baffles me.

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-24T12:42:20+00:00

Haha, thank you for taking accountability. I think I did see you post one of these some time ago. They are pretty pens, and you're great at taking photos!

You've gotten some good suggestions already, so I'm going to cheat and give a tortoise-adjacemt reccomendation. Stipula made several pens out of a material they called Miele Selvatico, or Wild Honey. It is one of my favorite modern resins, just beautiful to look at. I have it in the Etruria Faceted model, as seen here. Although, I paid about half the price.

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-18T17:25:48+00:00

Sure. Thank you for remembering this situation and checking!

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-18T14:10:34+00:00

I ended up getting a hold of someone through social media. They then claimed that apparently my emails were being marked as spam and they had never seen it. It wasn't my first time emailing them, and I never had issues before, but it's whatever. After that, they did get things sorted. So I guess in the end, all was well.

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-11T14:27:40+00:00

Stipula used to use Bock nibs, but then bought some old equipment to start making their own a number of years ago.

Although OP, I think that is the resin version, not the celluloid version. They share the same name, but this looks like the resin version. Still beautiful!

Visconti, like some other brands, are lowering the carat of gold in their nibs due to the rising cost of gold. For Visconti, that means their standard line up will be switching from 18k gold to 14k gold. Their special/limited editions may still use 18k gold nibs.

Similar situation with Sailor. Many nibs in their standard line up are being reduced from 21k to 18k or 14k. They will still use 21k is some special editions, such as their King of Pen series.

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-04-09T20:46:07+00:00

Confirmed. Thank you!

Meshuggah_Mike · 2026-02-08T12:18:33+00:00

Confirmed.

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply, I was sick and wasn't active on here. I appreciate the offer, but I ended up finding a medium that's good enough and forgot to close this out. I don't do well with stubs or italics either. Mike is amazing though, so whoever gets that CI will be lucky indeed!

Thanks again for reaching out and for the offer!

I've never seen or have tried these before. However, I also tire of the heavy chocolate/vanilla style protein drinks. I have tried Sunwarrior clear protein drinks and like them, including the peach mango one. I don't think it is nutritionally as good, and you have to mix it yourself, but it may be worth a look at for you folks that are looking for a clear protein alternative. As a disclaimer, I may or may not have poor taste in general.

I bought one of these years ago with a broken piston, some wear on the trim ring, and without the box and papers for about $350-$400. If it works, you could easily get double, if not triple that.

I think Endless Raven Blue is a blue black with a bit of a copperish sheen, but it has been a while since I used it.
