  • The author canceled their Amazon Prime subscription on a whim and realized they didn't really need it.
  • Leaving Prime meant slower shipping but the author was happy to wait and still found the selection and delivery speed satisfactory.
  • Many people love Prime for its fast shipping and convenience, but some readers expressed ambivalence and considered canceling.

I've wanted to get a nice pen for a while. Checked out JetPens. $800 for a fountain pen 💀. I'll stick to Amazon for now

Edit: So I went back and looked through more of their stuff and third party pens found a starter pen, the LAMY Safari for $37. Now we're talking haha.

Bruh. I make pens as a hobby. Happy to make and ship you one.

I still have the three on the right and the third from the left on hand. Can also make whatever.

The stripey one, second from the right is recycled skateboard deck. Those have been really popular. I've got a big ol' stack of skateboard decks ready to go to make more of them :D

How much for the ol bolt action?

[–] LrdThndr 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The bolt action is wenge with a oil/wax blend friction polished finish. I'm asking $100 for it with free shipping to anywhere in the continental US. It comes with a free black faux-velvet sleeve for safekeeping.

I will ship internationally, but that's not included, sadly.
