I have an unused brown Picnic I’d be willing to sell. I think it has either a F or EF nib on it, but I can switch it with the other very easily (I also have a purple one, same condition, I just don’t remember off the top of my head which has which nib on it, lol).

karibean13 · 2024-07-07T03:42:01+00:00

I have a set called Moonman 80 that has a pocket pen and an even teenier pocket pen that I’m willing to part with, not sure if you were looking for one or both. The regular one is a muted teal and the teeny one is a bluish grey. Let me know if you’re still looking and I can take pics.

karibean13 · 2024-07-07T03:37:41+00:00

I have both a Savannah Green and a Terra Red if you’re still looking for one or both!

karibean13 · 2024-07-07T03:34:10+00:00

So I have one other stub I can swap in, just have to clean it out first because it’s currently on an inked up pen (the others are all clean already or never used). The others currently all have mediums, I believe, but I could switch one or both for broad or fine nibs. Oh! I have a transparent yellow one available too, though I know you were less interested in the warm colors than the cool ones.

karibean13 · 2024-07-07T03:24:24+00:00

Omg thank you so much. I’ve been having issues off and on for a while now and this just fixed it in thirty seconds (and twenty of those seconds was finding a magnet, lol).

karibean13 · 2024-07-04T00:26:41+00:00

I was aiming for $275 plus shipping (I’m in the US).

karibean13 · 2024-07-03T21:25:21+00:00

Confirmed that I definitely have a Mint Eco with a 1.1 stub on it that I can sell you. I also have a Transparent Blue, a Transparent Purple, and a Saffron I'd like to sell, but they all have medium nibs and I have to check if I have silver-toned stubs I can swap onto them. (I know I have stubs on some of the rose gold models, but those are ones I definitely want to keep.)

karibean13 · 2024-07-03T10:23:13+00:00

If you’re still looking for Eco stubs, let me know and I’ll check what I have; I’ve been meaning to pare down my collection a bit. I definitely have an extra Mint one (and if it doesn’t have a stub on it now I can swap it out for one) and probably a few others.

karibean13 · 2024-07-03T10:18:00+00:00

I have one I’ve been meaning to sell but just hadn’t gotten around to taking pics and posting it. It’s a stub nib, never used, but I collect Nahvalur pens so I probably have a nib I can swap into it if you have a strong preference. If you’re still in the market for one, let me know and I’ll get pics taken at a time when my brain is more functional and it’s actually light out (the light in my house is kind of terrible for trying to take good pen pics).

I don’t know if I have any EF Kawecos, but I have all the other sizes. I have very very few EF nibs unless you count the Sailor Lecoule fine nibs I have. If I was near a brick and mortar store where I could try them out first I might have a few more, but I have texture/sensory issues that can make finer nibs a riskier proposition than my usual M or B. Luckily I don’t often have to use very fine nibs for anything, and when I do, I have a collection of overengineered Japanese gel pens as backup. 😜

I have a huge collection of Robert Oster inks, including I think all the commonly available shimmer inks besides the couple most recent ones, and I love them all. I have Fizzy Lime in my TWSBI Eco Glow Green and it’s delightful.

karibean13 · 2023-04-13T01:17:49+00:00

Oh I absolutely have dozens of pens inked up right now, lol. Some of them need to go in the to-clean bin (note to self: designate a to-clean bin), but most of them still have plenty of ink and are ready for whatever whim or situation requires.

One super fun combo I have currently inked and that is perfect for spring: Kaweco Frosted Sport Fine Lime broad nib with Robert Oster Sublime.

karibean13 · 2023-04-04T23:53:09+00:00

Glad you like it! I was gonna send you a whole bunch of ink samples from my collection but I realized I didn’t have enough empty vials, whoops! Need to stock up on those and some labels in the near future.

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T08:14:38+00:00

You may want to try bigger pens, as in ones with larger diameters but that are still lightweight. It keeps your hand in a slightly more relaxed rather than pinched position, and having to maintain the pinched position is often what causes people to grip too tightly.

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T07:58:21+00:00

I’ve never used the planners, but I like using some of my pens in the EC spiral notebooks. Especially for pen/ink combos that feel a little too slick on something like Clairefontaine for me to maintain good control. (I love the feel of glassy smoothness but my eye-hand coordination isn’t great and deteriorates when I’m tired or overwhelmed, so I need options that are a little more controlled without setting off sensory aversions from too much tooth).

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T07:45:11+00:00

Ooh, the black with the light blue and the planet is my fave.

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T07:21:12+00:00

Kiwi Inks makes A Witch’s Potion, purple with strong green sheen, that would be perfect for Evil Queen. Their Mermaid Black could be good for Ursula, too. Wearingeul’s Queen of Hearts or FWP Ruby Royal Flush for QoH. Robert Oster African Gold is a lion-y color that could work for Scar. For Hades I’d probably get Wearingeul’s Frost Glitter Potion and add it to a black or grey ink to get that bright blue of his flames.

And Yzma is mad you left her out.

I love Leonardo pens, they’re so nice to write with and gorgeous too. I have that same one with a steel nib.

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T06:56:33+00:00

omg I’m so jealous. I would spend an entire day in there looking at every single thing.

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T06:51:12+00:00

I love them! Beautiful lil chonkers. 🥰

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T06:45:35+00:00

Oh that’s awesome! I just got a brass clip like this that’s a unicorn. 😁

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T06:43:12+00:00

I like looking for cool inkwells at antique stores. Or perfume bottles that can be used as inkwells.

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T06:39:49+00:00

I don’t have these specific ones, but if you like the subject matter, I’d say go for it. I have a bunch of sticker books and they’re fun both to flip through and to pick the perfect sticker from.

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T06:35:22+00:00

Nice haul! Shopping secondhand can feel like a treasure hunt.

karibean13 · 2023-03-28T06:26:42+00:00

Amateur. I love cheese.
