▲ 206 r/fountainpens
Pilot is increasing the prices again for a few fountain pens, pencils and inks; effective from the 1st of july
Unfortunate that both sailor and pilot are correcting prices, they have gotten a bit too costly for me and it’s very unlikely i will be able to buy a new pen at these prices; i’ve wanted a nice soft fine 912 for some time, should’ve bought one sooner
If anyone is on the fence about buying a pilot, now is the best time to get one
TIL, custom 74 has a higher price for the music and coarse variants, their code is fkkn-14sr
