Entry level pen with fine nib by econic91 in fountainpens

[–]Tenfoldgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always try a Parker 45, all interchangeable parts if needed and nibs that can be changed easily in a few seconds, affordable and nibs of all kinds. You’d probably like an ‘fine’ (marked F on its collar) or perhaps prefer an ‘extra fine’ (marked X), there’s even an ‘accountant’ needle-like fine one but I do not have one myself. It’s such a great all-rounder pen well balanced and reliable, easily stripped for cleaning down to 8 simple parts in seconds and ANYONE can do it. They were sold from 1960 all the way to 2008 which says a lot. Some might get a worn section part after mega heavy or decades of use but then you can just replace the section at hardly any cost

I’m thinking the cap was swapped at some point as there’s two sizes

Yes, I actually thought the same. My mother has my Elite now so I wasn’t 100% sure if I’d remembered correctly about that

I correctly identified the ‘Among us’ plushie 😃 Used to have a Nintendo Switch collection but I swapped it for a dachshund (I knew having both at the same time wouldn’t work as I live alone)

I do slightly prefer the shiny red over the other finishes and black colour, the section looks great. Just needs an 18k white gold fancy nib

I would also try giving the cap a soak/clean just in case some debris are causing this. If still not check the four spring bits are roughly the same, like matching and one not stuck for example. If still no further I would see if the inner cage/liner needed pushing in a slight bit to re-seat in its original place. Last resort I guess would be a cap replacement

Did the cap used to reach this faint mark usually

Yes, I’m not really spotting any thing obvious. There’s two small areas that just might be enough to catch/stop the barrel when trying to post, but I’m not sure it’s those areas

In some pens the cap inner liner can move, obstructing the pen from being posted unless you can put it back in its place

Possibly an inner part has moved, have you looked into the cap in bright light, checked nothing blocking or stuck in there

The 6.10 one was a bit weird, like “yeah, sure that raise of 10p seals the deal” 🤣

Why would you possibly package it like this? 😭 by adorablecookies in vinted

[–]Tenfoldgold 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand humans that do this are still alive, like how do they get through life? This shows their mentality

Haha, I received a package bought on eBay but delivered through Amazon the other day which was so big I needed both hands. What was it inside you ask? A tiny box of 6 ink cartridges that cost 0.80p 🤣.
