Ordering Items From China On Ebay...part Two

[mikey4444]

Well, the fountain pen I ordered for £9:29 on Ebay has arrived today. I ordered it on the 29th of January.

Its a Pilot 78G, with a super broad nib, and writes superbly. It came with a vacuum ink filler, as well as a packet of Pilot Namiki ink cartridges. These cartridges alone are about £1:50, and the postage was 8:40 Hong Kong dollars, according to the jiffy bag. Considering how quickly it took to arrive and the quality of the pen, I am amazed that the Chinese vendor is making much in the way of a profit at these prices !

All in all, a good shopping experience. I am now awaiting on another fountain pen to arrive from China. This time its only £2:99 including p+p !

Hmmm I think

Therefore I am.

Well I'm not typing all that out again simply because of a less than sign.

OG...are you OK today ?

Mikey, don't forget: with Chinese pen, write right to left, right?

[mikey4444]

Haha Stuey !

I am just so impressed with this Chinese Ebay order. One hears so many things these days but it couldn't have been easier !

If it's a low value item it's worth taking a punt. It's not a lot to lose and as in your case could be a good value bargain

Exactly my thoughts hc. But I still have my doubts about how good the deal is for Mr Wong Kwai Lin, of Hong Kong !
