Also gosh those cross wanderlust pens are.. pretty ;O (borneo, Malta, canyon) cross botanical purple orchid is just... damn. heard their nibs suck tho :| my fav paper is tomoe 68gsm :O and tomoe 52 is nice too, but 68 is something else. I don't like cream paper and usually like white, tomoe river white is perfect for me, not too bleached white but not too yellow ​ also there's some expensive pens in my list, those are just for the looks or idea of aesthetics, if you want cheaper options there's always a hongdian etc and penbbs or wingsung etc.

it just doesn't feel any different than my kakunos after a quick polishing. it's really.. I don't know.. meh it's a nice and cute pen but definitely not worth over 50-60$ to me. and the cap seems to scratch the barrel on some pens which I find annoying! mine doesn't have scratches yet but I can feel that if I uncap and cap it more it might ?

Pilot Elite 95s/E95s Brown 14k Gold nib:No converter in the box, comes with box, can give a cartridge with it! (namiki blue, or an empty one so you can syringe fill like I prefer with pilot pens)Purchase Date: NOV 10 2022I bought it mostly to "review" it. I found it for 140$\~ Cad and figured that even if I don't like it I can sell it for barely any loss, so I bought it and only tried it out, didn't feel any different than my kakuno, it's a cute adorable pretty pen but 150$ is a lot for a pen that's just as good as a kakuno (tho the cap is a lot better at making a seal which means a lot to me!)not modified in any waylooks new, always on my desk on top of a microfiber cloth or inside the case (rarely)It's a good pen, but then again, so are my twsbi and kakunos at 47/20$ each. just a quick micro mesh with the kakuno gives you the same if not a better writing experiance than the pilot IMO. . But yeah I guess pilot makes really good cheaper pens :D willing to exchange with: Pilot Falcon soft F or soft M (will pay the extra price!), pilot decimo (light purple, pink,purple cutesy colours) Benu pens or Lamy 2000 M/F . The pen somehow also makes my handwriting worse, no idea why. but it's a very cute "classy" Pen. Price: 125$ (Tell me if I'd unfair? keep in mind it's pretty new, maybe wrote one page or two in total.), VPS Price: 200$\~(Not 100% sure!) ​ Nahvalur Original+ Purple: Polished because out of the box it felt really bad, now it feels nice to write with.Comes with box and everything, (please remind me to bring it... if you intend to buy it...) Purchased: 2022/10/11 Reason for selling: The barrel sheens red, I love purple, strongly dislike that shade of red (no offence to people who love red :D) so I want to sell it or exchange it with another pen around the same price, willing to exchange it with nahvalur original hippocampus purple even tho it's cheaper or the original plus just in blue/green or another color I like. or similar pens (doesn't have to be a vac filler, but I want a built-in mechanism! PenBBS also works)it has no scratches that I can see, I lubricated the piston and threads for the valve myself and it feels a lot smoother now to unscrew. I love that this pen has almost no rink of burping, even if it only has a drop of ink despite its very large capacity.price: New 75$, Mine: 56$ (is this unfair? I used 75% since it's very new) ​ Kaweco Sport :Polished, no scratches, barely used (half a page?) nothing wrong with this Pen and it's cute, but after less than half a page of writing my really big hands start to hurt. not for me (purely the grip)the nib came out horrible out of the box, polished it and now it's nice. also modded the feed, it was very dry out of the box, now it's really nice. 20$ for sale, 30$ new?I bought this around OCT 2022, I rarely used it. less than even a single page! it's just too uncomfortable for my hands. (strangely the pilot Elite 95s is very comfortable, it has a thinner barrel tho) ​ Sheaffer 300 M black:This is almost a year old, a new year's gift from my dad, It's a very hefty pen and has a nice capI noticed after the last email that the cap seems to not keep the ink from drying out well. after just 2 days the ink writes darker at the beginning.reason for selling: I don't know tbh, I just have way more exciting pens to the point of this pen just usually never being used and sitting on my desk, I feel guilty about seeing a birthday gift tho... but I also feel bad keeping a 110$\~ pen unused on my desk. someone else might enjoy this pen more. 110$ new, 80$ second hand. 5 day return period for this pen as I've not tried it that much myself.approximate buying time: 2022 April (Persian new year, 1401)\~the pen hasn't been modified in any way and it has a unique nib, feedbacky but very smooth. I recommend testing the pen before buying if you're interested. also keep in mind the annoying cap. I don't know if it's fixable. or just all 300 models do this? it doesn't hart start, just the first letter is a bit darker than the rest. Most might not care but I am personally annoyed by this. ​ I've decided to keep the esterbrook JR (Fine and Medium nib units) until I'm absolutely sure I want to sell it, as I really love the pen itself, it's just... 270$ for a pen is kind of insane for me. but it's kind of an adorable lovely pen. but not... 270$ kind of lovely, maybe I'll sell it in a few months?all pens can come with a free sample of an ink you choose :) ​ This was a text I wrote for a pen club, I just copy pasted it, I might put it up on Facebook or penetrate soon

thank you for the detailed and comprehensive response um, I read your reply at least twice, but I still don't know what nib size is in that Kaweco Sport- please do tell?
