Monthly Confirmation October 2026 Confirmed Trade Thread

7 Upvotes

Submit your trade confirmations below

How Does This Process Work?

Note: Trade confirmations may take a few minutes as the bot processes the confirmation.

After completing a trade, adhering to the rules listed above, either party involved should make a top-level comment (i.e., comment on the post, not on someone else's comment) declaring the trade. In this comment, tag the other Redditor by typing their username, including the leading u/. This action serves a dual purpose: it notifies the other Redditor to confirm the trade, and it alerts u/swap-bot to monitor for the confirmation. The other Redditor should then reply to this comment (i.e., do not create another top-level comment; instead, reply to the initial comment) to indicate that the trade was successful.

Important: It's advisable to WAIT until the trade is successfully completed—meaning all money/items have been properly exchanged—before posting your confirmation.

Example: 1. u/NitroFish44 comments: Sold a Sailor S-Broad nib to u/thisisreallytricky 2. u/thisisreallytricky replies: Confirmed! Placed the nib in a more modern Sailor pen and LOVE the way it writes!! 3. u/swap-bot replies to u/thisisreallytricky's comment indicating that their trade counts have been updated.

FAQ

  1. The bot mentioned that additional information is required. What should I do?

    If this occurs, it suggests that the bot couldn't find enough information to confirm the trade. Please message the moderators, who can review and approve the trade by replying Approved to your trade comment.

  2. The bot didn't respond to my comment. What's wrong?

    Did you comment Confirmed? If not, add a NEW comment reply stating Confirmed. Avoid editing the existing comment. If you did reply Confirmed but received no response, please message the moderators. The bot might be experiencing issues!

WTB-OPEN [WTB] Wearingeul Anubis Ink (30 mL) – Discontinued

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m desperately searching for a bottle of Wearingeul Anubis!

I’ve completely fallen in love with it, but unfortunately it’s been discontinued. I’ve searched several retailers without any luck, so I’m hoping someone here might have a bottle they’d be willing to part with!

Ideally, I’m looking for a full 30 mL bottle, but I’m also open to a partially used bottle in good condition.

I’m located in the USA and am happy to consider international sellers if shipping is available. I’m willing to discuss a fair price, including shipping, and will pay through PayPal Goods & Services.

If you have a bottle you’re willing to sell, please comment below before sending me a message. I’d really appreciate photos showing the bottle and remaining ink!

Thank you so much! Fingers crossed someone can help me find this beautiful ink! 🤎✨

WTS-OPEN WTS -- the continuing saga of the great destash. Japanese pens, non-Japanese pens, and a MB Ramses II!

24 Upvotes

Images: https://imgur.com/a/JwZnvKi

I sold my pen case and purchased an almost as beautiful case from Italy via Etsy.  It has spaces for 39 pens. My previous case held 121 pens, and I have pens stuffed in coffee cups and a variety of cases, in pen sleeves stacked in containers in my closet, etc.  I’m committed to owning 39 pens, so I still have an incredible number to destash.

To take the easy route, I’m posting a picture of the tray of pens in this sale, capped and uncapped.  I am very happy to send additional pictures and answer any question for anyone interested in a specific pen or pens. All sales are final, so please ask for more pictures if you have any concerns about the condition.  I will entertain offers and will offer a small discount for bundling.  Shipping is USPS or UPS (your choice) with insurance and signature service, unless you request otherwise.  Standard shipping cost is $20 (I don’t want to calculate individual shipping prices).  With packing materials, I usually eat a few dollars on a shipment, sometimes I make a buck or two.

The pens in the current lineup are:

SeY Pens Quail, (Chinkin, Maki-e and Raden), kimono and box, M nib, A2, $500 SOLD

Bungbox x Easterbrook Kingfisher Edition Estie, box, papers and original decorated converter, papers, F nib, A1, $225 SOLD

Chateau Proto Raden, w box and papers, 18k M nib, B, $650

Mont Blanc 146 Ramses II, box and papers, 18k M nib, A2 (inked once), $2000  (AI will tell you this is above the average price for a used Ramses II, but they are almost impossible to find at this price these days, and this in the pen that is on the fence in my keep or not keep decision process.  The sells/doesn’t sell makes the decision for me!) Price is firm on this one.

Sailor 1911L Maki-e Samurai Warrior, 21k M-F  nib, A2, $400 SOLD

Sailor Pro Gear Pen of the Year 2024, Celestial Gray, 21K F nib, box and papers, A2, $250 SOLD

Mr Cypress Black Diamond Raden, B nib, box and kimono,  A2, $400

Benu Draco Darling #182/250, M nib, box and papers, A2, $145 SOLD

Platinum 3776, 14K F nib, no box, B, $100 SOLD

Red Pilot Deluxe, 14K nib, (dated 1/85), original velvet box, no papers, B, $50 SOLD

Platinum 3776 Century Kaga Maki-e, 18k M nib, no box, B, $350

And, if you’re a collector who appreciates the beauty of a hand crafted pen, and are not concerned with brand or model, I offer a urushi and raden pen hand-crafted in the Qinyu style.  It has a Pilot Custom 74, 14K broad nib.  It comes with a leather pen case. I purchased the pen body sans nib and bought a 74 to cannibalize for the nib. I’ll also send the 74 body.  Since this is an unusual pen, I’ll offer a money back guarantee (you pay for return shipping). $300.

All other sales are final.

DM first and Paypal G&S of course.

  • Opus 88 - C [ Fine ]. This pen also is in otherwise excellent condition, it just has some very mild staining on the rear of the pen from a time I somewhat accidentally put carbon black in it. Under normal operation with any ink in it, you really won't ever notice. I don't really even notice it when it's empty. 85 + Shipping
  • [sold] Nahvalur Nautilus Original Really sorry, I had the model wrong- B [ Excellent ] I've used this pen literally twice and it's my first ink fill with it still. I just personally hate how it feels. Iunno, $30 + shipping, I just want this pen gone and I don't want to throw it away.
  • TWSBI Vac 700R - C [ Fine ] This pens is also in really good overall condition it's just the most used of these four, and has some mild scratching on the iridium metal bits. $65 + shipping

Hey all!

Up for sale today:

Pilot Custom K 600SS “White Stripe” 18k <M>

Timestamp/Photos

I purchased this a little while back from another user on pen swap, and have since inked and used it through a full ink cartridge. This is the more difficult to find “White Stripe” version. This workhorse performs flawlessly and is in excellent condition for its age (although it does have some scratches on the clip, pictured). As such I’m rating it a [C] condition. I paid $175 for it, my asking is $130 shipped. I will also include a few cartridges of Yama-Budo to get you started.

There are two ways to survive a 45 min status meeting that should've been an email:

  1. Pour tap water directly into your laptop’s motherboard, or
  2. Dissociate into the crystal-clear barrel of this Pilot Custom Heritage 92 while 1.2 ml of the ink of your choice sloshes around in uncut, glorious 4K. Your action items never looked so good. 

This built-in piston-filler rocks Pilot’s legendary Fine 14k gold nib, which feels like hydroplaning across a freshly zamboni'd frozen lake in a luxury sedan with the traction control turned completely off, because your parents are in Cabo and you're a teen with a driver's license out with your buds building core memories.

No original boxes included unless otherwise noted. Will clean all pens to the best of my ability before shipping.

GIOIA - BELLAVISTA “Terra di Napoli”, numbered 471

Steel <XF> nib, piston filler. First owner. A nicely made and designed pen imo, Gioia doesn’t get the attention other Italian brands too, and they lost their American distributor last year or earlier this…not sure if anyone else has picked them up on these shores. The Bellavista model doesn't seem to be made anymore from what I can see. (B) condition, used but barely. $145.00
https://imgur.com/a/qd9qI3z

RADIUS 1934 - SETTIMO “Bohemian Twilight”. 100 pieces were made in this Jonathon Brooks material. Rose gold trim. Steel <F>, with converter. (B) condition, used but with minimal use since it was purchased (first owner).
Radius 1934 is a sister brand of Leonardo Officina Italiana, under the leadership of Salvator Matrone. $200.00

https://imgur.com/a/oKdgM80

(SOLD) ESTERBROOK ESTIE - BACK TO THE LAND “Funky Lake”. Jowo steel (yellow) <F>, with branded converter.
(B) condition, first owner, purchased from Fahrney’s when Drew Brown was hired as a show of my support. Used, but minimally. This one comes with the original box, and includes a sample of the ink which was included (a turquoise color if I recall, but I only glass pen dip tested upon receiving it), and a little ruler (please refer to photos) $250.00

https://imgur.com/a/VIa73bO

MONTEGRAPPA - FORTUNA “Navy Blue” colorway which I no longer see as a current color. Rose gold colored trim and nib (which is steel, but beautifully engraved). Nice wide threads for the cap, and it’s an attractive if fairly simply designed pen in general. Steel <F> nib, branded converter. (B) condition. Inked once or twice. $85.00

https://imgur.com/a/0dFbW8o

HINZE PEN CO. - model B24 “Flames of the Abyss”. This pen was made with Jonathon Brooks material, and was a limited edition which is no longer available. Cap has a clip.

WTS-OPEN [WTS][EU/INT] The great destash now cheaper, plus Pilot Custom Urushi Blue <M>; Pilot, Sailor, OPUS88

13 Upvotes

Many of you may have seen my last posts trimming my collection and selling off some of my weak-minded impulse purchases. I've since been talking to people around me as well as done some self-reflecting, and I did come to the conclusion that my collection has outgrown its purpose. Now when I look at my pens, I don't only see the tools I use but also unnecessary overconsumption. So with difficulty and help of friends I've decided to heavily trim even the remainder of the collection to only keep pens with sentimental value or handmade items, hence the number of additions to this post.

Shipping: All items ship from Czechia. Prices are without shipping, shipping will depend on where you are located and which method you wish to use for shipment. I'm willing to accommodate shipping anywhere, as long as it's reasonably accessible. I'll ship the items as soon as possible after receiving payment, I'll aim for the next business day, but expect it to be between 1-4 business days.

Shipping costs: Depends on the country, intra-EU it should be €6-20 in most cases, depending on the amount of insurance and distance from Czechia. The buyer is responsible for all possible import duties, taxes, and other fees where applicable. Shipping to the US depends on the destination but appears to be €40 to 80 on average. (It does really vary widely based on box size, and destination)

Payment: PayPal G&S as per subreddit rules.

Private sale: Sold as is. All sales final. No warranty or returns.

Each pen has their own imgur album in their description.

Verification images (categorized Proton Drive link): https://drive.proton.me/urls/SMKJXARG2C#5po7LJwBdsZB

Note: I did delete sold listings from reposts as to not pollute search results on Reddit, hence the numbering of items is a little inconsistent.

  • 8. [A2] Sailor King of Pens ProGear GT 21kt <B> — €810 €770

    • https://imgur.com/a/gJ2j0S4
    • Another impulse buy for a grail pen I have not ended up using because the Pilot Custom Urushi is the one that stole my heart. I bought most of the grail pens at once, only ended up using one of them. I have inked this with a cartridge of Sailor Shikiori Rikyucha and only used 2/3rds of the cartridge journaling. The pen hasn't been used at all since I have bought it, apart from a few pages of journaling.
    • The pen is in a perfect state, I've been extremely gentle with it, and it shows, in the pen having no marks or signs of use and is basically pristine.
    • Comes with the original box and everything which was included in it. Additionally, comes with a box of Sailor Souboku cartridges (12pcs).
  • 15. [B] Pilot Custom 743 Black 14kt <SF> — €290 €275

    • https://imgur.com/a/YYzn3Cn
    • If I am being honest with myself, and the opening to this post I have to let go of this one as well. I've used this one quite a bit more than the rest, about 4 fills, but I have two SF Pilot pens, and rationally I have to let go of one of them. There's no real signs of use I can find, but it's been used for indoor journaling and creative writing.
    • I don't have a box for this one, so I'll instead toss two packs of Pilot cartridges as a freebie, unused Pilot CON70 converter and a box of Majohn A1, Pilot compatible refillable cartridges.
  • 34.[B] Pilot Custom Urushi Prussian Blue 18kt #30 <M> — €1000

    • https://imgur.com/a/34-pilot-custom-urushi-prussian-blue-m-p8qWWXU
    • The pen is in great condition, I'd say there are not even signs of use, urushi is really a resilient material. I used the pen for a few months journaling and for creative writing. The pen is wonderful, one of the best nibs I did ever use. I found it extremely difficult to put this one for sale, but ultimately it was bought as a bad decision when I heard these are getting harder to find due to the general slow down in urushi manufacturing. I have another blue one in FM and that fits my writing style better, so in the spirit of being reasonable and preventing myself from becoming a hoarded I decided to let this beauty go into the world.
    • Comes with the original box, unused Pilot CON70 converter, and a box of Pilot cartridges.

The following pens are rated as B because they have seen a lot of use for indoor journaling and creative writing. They have been well cared for, and I don't see anything wrong with them. I am selling these because my collection has grown out of my hand and is more resembling a curse of consumerism than curation. As with all pens, if you have any questions feel free to ask, I'll be happy to answer, provide any details, or additional photos.

    • Same as pen 30, just barely under the line due to me having a direct replacement in an urushi finish. Comes outfitted with a red ebonite feed from Flexible Nib Factory, tuned for wet flow, awesome writers that put down a ton of ink, bringing the best properties to light.
    • No box for this one, but a Pilot CON70 converter included. Original feed will come included with the pen.

    • This is a little insane, but I forgot I have this, I got it when I wanted a wine red 743 and then never ended up even using it.
    • I can't find a box for this one, but it's still in the protective sleeve, from my memory the 74s come with a CON40, I'll add a box of cartridges, both Majohn refillable ones and original Pilot ones in Blue, Blue Black, or Black.

WTS-OPEN [WTS] - Vermilion lacquered ebonite - a small gem!

5 Upvotes

Ban-Ei vermilion with semi-flex 14k nib from Kabutogi Ginjiro in B condition. Pen has no serious defects, save shallow marks including fade lines above threads caused by cap rubbing onto the body. The nib and feed are in perfect condition. Overall build quality is remarkable. Threads are tight and precise. Hard to believe it was hand made, nevertheless here we go. Vintage ebonite pen lacquered in vermilion Urushi with ebonite feed. The colour of vermilion is tad darker than what you would find on modern Pilot CUs.

The nib is 14K, semi-flex, with a line width ranging from F to B. Please note that this degree of flex is standard for GK nibs - the nib has not been modified in any way. The nib and feed were heat-set by the pen maker. To preserve the original assembly, I strongly advise against removing the nib.

Gallery and more detailed description is here in my post

Asking 490 USD plus $31 shipping from Australia. The price is firm, sorry. Please follow rules of this subreddit. In case several people be interested, the pen will go to buyer who paid the invoice first.

P.S.

When you receive this pen threads and inner rod will have some wet shine to it, as I added a silicon grease there.
