Writing letters with my favorite pen makes my day.
I am not picky at all for most things, but for pens, paper for particular cases, and tooth brushes.
I was happy to find my favorite Japanese pens sold in the USA, though... It cost $2.50 - $3.00, additionally they are not sold at local stores :( So, got to go online, which means shipping is added to the product price.
Using ebay is not my favorite since so many sellers don't do proper job. But because of the price, I thought I would take a chance...
Including shipping the cost per a pen was brought down to $1.25 :D I had to buy a bulk, though, I am so very happy that I don't have to worry about looking for pens for a while :D
