Actually I think Paypal take a 2.5% commission on currency exchange anyway, so that may have been the rate we got it at after all.

Hi Russell,

Quick question for you. I'm interested in getting Schmidt and PR rollerball refills, and both have a qty discount if you go above 10 (or 20 for the schmidt). Do you know if this is per colour, or will apply to our order if enough other people buy them? I'd like to order some, but I don't think I'd need enough that I'd make the qty discount in each colour...

Cheers,
Dave

Not sure Dave. I was certainly looking at the black & blue Easyflow 9000 Ballpoint refills, as I'm always after a good flowing parker refill replacement, and if these flow smooth but aren't as messy or use up as quickly as the gel refills, then they're worth it. So I'd be happy to split a set of 10 of each of these with you, if that's what you're after. I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure 5 of each colour would be considered buying 10 for the bulk discount anyway.

I haven't looked at the Schmidt, as I think we have plenty of local suppliers for those which offer reasonable prices.

Anyone else interested in refills, whether 1 or 100?

I'll happily grab 5 of each colour of the Easyflow 9000's.

I'll look into the Schmidt ones. $1.75US seemed reasonable, but I'll hunt around a bit more before blowing my budget on something so mundane!

Cheers,
Dave

Just saw this at timberbits. $1 for black and $2 for blue. Excellent news! More budget for other goodies!!!

For those who are interested, here's the list of what I'm consider. Not necessarily getting, but considering

1. 10 Easyflow ballpoint refills - Blue & Black
2. Pack of PR Ink cartridges - Blue, Black & maybe red
3. Pack of piston converters
4. Pack of figured Ancient Kauri
5. Autism puzzle pen kit - Sierra
6. Delrin bushes - various kits
7. Acrylic pen stands - 3-5
8. 1 Dip kit pack
9. 1 pack of pen tags
10. 1 - 2 Irish Bog Oak blanks
11. 1 - 2 English Bog Oak Blanks
12. 1 - 2 Sandringham Mulberry blanks
13. 2 - 3 Corn Cob blanks
14. 1 - 2 Snakeskin blanks, if available

and I better stop looking now, before I just get 1 of everything!!!

Yep, seems to be a hard to get both fine & medium in the one place though.

Answer from Dawn is that yes, any colours of the same type refill constitutes a bulk quantity. Being from Private Reserve, I think the Easy Flows should be nice to write with.

Russell.

Putting my list together now. Like Russell, I'll have to stop soon!

You'll like them. I'm writing with one now. The only problem I've found has nothing to do
with the refills, rather the way I often use them. Writing through triple carbonless copies
I tend to really bear down .. and these refills are meant to flow easily. It just took me
a while to adjust to it. No fault of the refills, just my writing style. When writing on the
order forms, I just need to hold the pen a little more vertical.

They really do write nice and lay down the ink. No smudge. But I have no idea how
long they last, I've only had mine a few weeks. But I write with it all day..

Funny, I use my Keyboard to write on my computer...

I wouldn't use any good pen for writing on carbon copies. The scratchier the better. Heck, they might as well maek a blank front page with carbon back, and then we could use a screwdriver and wouldn't need any ink at all

Thanks for the review.

Russell.

I'll get a couple of blanks of some description
will post tomorrow - probably
