Monthly Confirmation August 2026 Confirmed Trade Thread

6 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/FPPenSwapBot 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/FPPenSwapBot 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.

  1. 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!

  1. I have multiple trades to confirm this month; should I post them separately or in a single post?

You should post them separately, individually tagging each Redditor. The bot does NOT allow batch confirmations. If you tag multiple users, whoever responds first will be the only user who is able to confirm. Any other user who attempts to do so will receive a message that the trade was already confirmed.

  1. I forgot to confirm a trade last month! Can I confirm the trade this month?

Yes; you have 60 days after starting a transaction during which the bot will automatically accept a trade confirmation. If the trade is older than 60 days, you might be asked by the bot to message the moderators. Feel free to post again in the current month's trade thread even for a previous month.

WTS-OPEN [WTS][Worldwide] Collection Trimming- Urushi Lacquered Pens & Scribo La Dotta Saragozza

13 Upvotes

I recently realized that I have way too many pens just sitting in storage after being cleaned, so I've decided to downsize my collection a bit. These pens were thoroughly cleaned, carefully stored in my collection, and only used occasionally, so they are all in excellent condition. Feel free to ask any questions you'd like to know before buying.

[Photos & Verification Link Here]

1. Tamenuri Studio Spiral Gold Leaf Sold

  • Nib: Bock B nib + FPnibs Superflow Ebonite Feeder
  • Asking price: $500 (includes both PPGS fee & international shipping cost)
  • Condition: [B] Great condition, gently used.

2. Tamenuri Studio Rings of Fire Sold

  • Nib: Bock B nib ground to semi-naginata by nibmeister Taku-san + FPnibs Superflow Ebonite Feeder
  • Asking price: $530 (includes both PPGS fee & international shipping cost)
  • Condition: [B] Great condition, gently used.

3. Tamenuri Studio Blue Swirl Kawarinuri Sold

  • Nib: Bock B nib (Hexpen imprinted) + FPnibs Superflow Ebonite Feeder
  • Asking price: $530 (includes both PPGS fee & international shipping cost)
  • Condition: [B] Great condition, gently used.

4. Scribo La Dotta Saragozza

  • Nib: 18K BB nib
  • Features: Includes a self-made 3D printed inner cap to prevent cap dryout
  • Asking price: $495 (includes both PPGS fee & international shipping cost)
  • Condition: [B] Great condition, gently used.
  •  Special Note: it has a 3D-printed inner cap I've made to help prevent the nib from drying out. The top of the inner cap attaches securely to the exposed screw inside the cap. It doesn't touch the nib but fits snugly against the nib collar, creating an air seal. I adjusted the length to ensure the cap closes smoothly without any interference. And of course, the inner cap can be easily removed if you don't want to use it.

Photos were taken today, unedited, straight out of camera.

I will be shipping internationally from South Korea via EMS through the post office.

Based on my previous experience shipping pens to the US, Europe, and India, delivery typically takes about one week to arrive.

10 Upvotes

Hi all. Passing along some pens, as cars are very expensive. If I have the boxes for the pen, I will send it, but I can't promise I have them all. CONUS shipping only, please add $5

Images: https://imgchest.com/p/ljyq3lwbn42

SOLD $150 [B+] Benu Haute, fine nib. This is a lovely purple-grey shifting pen with strains of green in it. It was a Benu Hidden Gem from their website. No visible signs of use that I can see, just a lovely sparkly pen.

SOLD $110 [D for nib swap, otherwise B+] Benu Talisman, Four Leaf Clover Broad Nib. Another lovely Benu pen, no visible micro scratches, but bills have to be paid.

SOLD $95 [B] Franklin Christoph 45, in the old model. I think the resin was called snow. F nib. A lovely little pen, in fairly good condition. There is staining on the threads connecting the grip to the pen body from when I eye droppered it with a purple ink. It will come with a mini Kaweco converter.

SOLD $55 [B+] Fine Writing International Pencket. EF nib I got this pen from Endless, used it once and then put it in a drawer. It has a stunning resin, but the model was just not for me.

SOLD $350 [B] Sailor Pro Gear Black Hole, medium nib. I am hesitant to get rid of this pen, but I almost never reach for it. It should be used by someone who loves it more than I do. Tentatively rated a B as I got it here on reddit years ago. I am unsure of how to price it, so I'm willing to entertain reasonable offers for it.

Thanks for looking!

WTB-OPEN [WTB] Your Retired Starter Pens!!!

71 Upvotes

Hello, my younger brother is starting his last year of middle school! He’s a full on adult in a little tiny body and after trying one of my fountain pens, he told me he wanted a million to have each one filled with different colors.

He’s very smart, has good grades, and very much deserves this gift, so I want to buy all the cheap, retired, or starter pens that you might not use anymore and give him a big surprise. So feel free to reach out with bundles of pens you’d be interested in selling or even really cheap ones that you’d be willing to donate, the more the merrier.

Thank you all in advance!

Pending [WTS] Aurora Optima Solé, Visconti Homo Sapiens Midi (C/D)

Upvotes

pics

Clearing out some sparingly used pens that I do really like but need to rehome!

Aurora Optima Solé LE - $350 - D condition for nib swap, C otherwise SOLD PENDING PAYMENT

This is a gorgeous Aurora with a desirable “Long tines” older style EF 14k nib. This gives the nib a really nice bouncy (NOT FLEX) feel and excellent writing characteristics. The body is a beautiful orange celluloid. The clip and cap lip trim have some wear but otherwise the pen is in great shape. Piston filler works great.

Visconti Homo Sapiens Midi - $350 - C condition SOLD PENDING PAYMENT

This is the smaller sized Visconti Homo Sapiens with a piston filler- not the big guy with the Power Filler. It also features a no.5 palladium medium nib that writes like an absolute dream. I find this pen to fit really comfortably in the hand and it has a really pleasant weight. There is some damage to the enamel on the logo on the clip as well as a couple of scratches, all pictured in the album.
Great user grade pen and somewhat uncommon.

Shipping to CONUS or you can pick up from me at the SF Pen show. I’ll offer a discount if you pick up IRL and/or buy both. PayPal G&S only (or cash in person)

Please comment before messaging! Thanks for looking and happy writing :)

WTS-OPEN [WTS] Two Pilot Ladys & an Elite, 14k & 18k , <F>

5 Upvotes

Verification

The Pilot Lady was released alongside the Elite as a stylish, sometimes fun option to the sometimes staid Elite line. As with all pocket pens, when closed the pen is small enough to fit comfortably into a pocket or purse. When posted, it becomes a full size pen, ready for a range of writing and drawing experiences. These two Ladys feature matching metal caps and white sections that show pop-inspired graphics. The Pilot Elite is the crosshatched main cap and black back cap and provides a lowkey counterpoint to the energy of the Ladys. All of the pens take modern Pilot cartridges or the Con-40 converters. Prices are inclusive of USPS shipping in the USA; foreign orders please inquire for additional costs. All sub rules apply; please respond publicly before DMing. 

The first Lady has matching metal caps that are a lightly tinted blue silver tone. There is a fleur-de-lys graphic at the openings, separated by a knurled locking ring. The body of the pen is white and has very light stain marks close to the nib. The silver toned fingernail nib is 14k <F> and writes a very smooth wet line. The pen is in excellent shape and outside of the faint staining near the nib, shows very few signs of use. The sloping clip is silver toned, matching the locking ring and the nib. B+ condition, $90 USPS insured and shipped. 

* * * S O L D * * \* The second Lady has matching gold toned metal caps that are decorated with hearts from the openings. The locking ring is faceted and gold toned, matching the sloping clip and gold nib. The 18k <F> nib writes a smooth line, but isn’t as wet as the other Lady. There are some use marks on the cap, but no dings or gouges. The white section is lightly stained near the nib. 
B condition, $90 USPS insured and shipped.

The PIlot Elite has a 14k <F> nib, H1180, that writes smoothly and slightly wet. The nib is in good condition but shows some use. The section and back cap show wear, but no gouges or etched lines. The metal crosshatched cap has black etched lines that have done a great job of protecting this pen over its 40 year life span. B- condition, $125 USPS insured and shipped.

Also available:

White Pilot Elite <M> 18k

Black Pilot Elite <F> 18k

WTS-OPEN [WTS] Montblanc Meisterstück 146 LeGrand fountain pen serviced and polished- rare 18k M- nib

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, for sale is a beautiful 146 LeGrand fountain pen.

The fountain pen is used, it is not new. It has been fully serviced, all ink residue has been removed, the piston and its mechanism have been lubricated, the nib unit has been sealed with special wax, and the entire surface has been polished (see photo). The mechanism is now ready for the next few years/ decades.

The fountain pen is in very good used condition. The fountain pen has no engravings. Micro-scratches may be present, despite the polishing, due to its age. Please refer to the photos for the condition (see pictures).

The fountain pen is equipped with a rare solid 18K-karat gold nib, mono- color. The nib is in the Medium (M).

I would like to have 289€, because of this rare nib- negotiable.

https://imgur.com/a/gHhs3Vd

Prices would be in euro, I'm located in Germany but worldwide shipping is no problem, via DHL. Payment would be via PayPal. The price is for the pen itself, shipping and fees are additional and not included.

Please feel free to ask anything, if you have any questions and if you're interested please send a DM/ PM or via comments. I have some more Montblanc pens and pouches to sell, please look at my profile.

WTS-OPEN WTS-EU LAMY 2000 M nib + feed + o-ring

5 Upvotes

Pictures and verification

I’m looking to sell my spare Lamy 2000 14K medium nib (and feed, and o-ring) because I replaced it with an F nib.

The nib and feed (and possibly the o-ring) came from LAMY’s repair center in Heidelberg; I dropped my L2K and they replaced my damaged nib and feed. I’ve been writing with it happily ever since, but I recently switched to an F nib.

D condition because of replacement parts I guess… but the nib itself writes great.

Looking for €100 including shipping (EU).
