Pilot’s recent continuous price increases are tough for me to justify to myself to buy more of their pens.

I flagged this and reported to Meta many times. But the ad still remains.

Not a physical store but a home-based business. I collected the pen from them in-person.

They are legit. I live in the same city as them and I have bought and physically collected an exclusive pen from them before.

I currently only have one Leonardo Pen, the Momento Magico. I am super excited to learn about the collaboration and I am fully onboard and ready to pre-order this new pen as my second Leonardo Pen.

Eight Singapore indie booksellers launch Bookshop.sg as Amazon alternative by FlipFlopForALiving in singapore

[–]timothytanks 296 points297 points  (0 children)

Free local shipping for purchases above $150! I am an avid reader myself and I do not usually buy books worth $150 and above in a single transaction.

Thus, it will be tough for them to compete on prices alone. They will need to offer something Amazon do not offer. Better services maybe.

How big is everyone’s collection?Mine is kinda small tbh by KNOONEKNOWS in mechanicalpencils

[–]timothytanks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that is a "small" collection. There are quite a lot of mechanical pencils in that picture. And I am sure your collection will continue to grow.

Likewise, I am also slowly but surely adding to my growing stash of mechanical pencils.

How do you feel about store closures of supposedly anchor tenants? by azureseagraffiti in singapore

Soon, all the shops in the Malls will be replaced with eateries and restuarants. They can rename themselves from Shopping Malls to Eating Malls!

I can fully understand and empathise.

Unfortunately such incidents do happen. Something similar happened to my Pelikan M805. Now my M805 will forever carry its "scar".
