I would have taken him up on his offer immediately, but my PayPal has run dry, so I am unable to at the moment. Hopefully by the time I can gather another $25.00 and put it into my PayPal, I won't be too late!
Happy New Year!

Thanks! And I'd love to get a few jobs, but I'm concentrating on school right now. During the summer, though, I certainly do a lot of work and will be able to grow my collection!

Say Hello!
That pen is absolutely gorgeous. But I'll never be able to afford that, haha. If I did have a bank account, it'd be draining pretty quickly. I'm saving up to get my 3rd (should be 4th) fountain pen, and at less than half the price of that P45, I'm only 1/10th of the way there! haha. Like ac12 said..."drooooooool...."

Say Hello!
Thank you, Carlos! From what I've heard, Parker Penman Sapphire is legendary. I really do like my Lamy Joy 1.5mm a lot, as well as my Safari (the one I have left). They are great pens...well, what I consider a great pen as a newbie. Thank you for the knowledge on the P45, I'll look into them further once I can afford one (after I get the mini!).
Well said. As long as the pen is fun to write with, it's a good pen.
Thank you!
John

I may have been looking at some new ones, ac12. The flighter finish fine points were pretty pricey. (For me anyway.)
And david i, I'll keep that in mind once I save up enough again after getting a TWSBI mini. Thanks!
Happy New Year,
John

Say Hello!
After reading reviews of the Parker 45, it truly does seem like a great pen! The flighter finish with a fine nib is still around $100.00, out of my range for now. Anyway, I've added it to my want list...although it will probably be a while till I can get one!
Thank you all!

Say Hello!
Thank you all for the advice! I'll certainly look into the Parker 45's and some other cheaper pens. I am looking to buy a few Jinhao pens like the x750 once i buy my TWSBI mini or Prera. If only money weren't the limiting factor on my pen "collection!" I can't wait till i hit my mark and can buy some more pens and ink.

Say Hello!
I forgot to mention: one of my Safari's was actually stolen. My EF Umbra Safari was pocketed by someone else. I left it in my pencil pouch, and someone "had to have it." I learned quickly that FPs STAY WITH ME. So now I'm down to just one.
Also, David i: You might be able to bring me over to the dark side once I can afford those pens! (I can't even afford a mini right now, or a replacement Safari! Hah)

Hello!
I'm a 17 year old guy from Michigan who has recently become enamored with fountain pens. I recently mustered up enough cash to buy two LAMY Safari's, a Joy, and a bottle of PR Avacado. Since I picked up the first pen, I couldn't stop writing. I actually enjoy taking notes now, and my handwriting has improved significantly.
I really like saturated inks from what I've seen and love colors that are strong but subtle. If anyone had any suggestions of inks please let me know! (And if anyone would be willing to send me a few samples or anything, I would be ecstatic...if not I won't be disappointed.)
I've been eyeing the TWSBI mini and Pilot Prera, and am currently saving up enough to buy them. (I'm 1/10th of the way there..wooo).
Merry Christmas!
Kind regards,
JDP
