[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 531351, member: 1365"] Order of three 78G in B (stub) nib arrived yesterday. Got a red, a green and a black. All in perfect new condition. Even better (in a way) was that the pens arrived in 10 days shipped via EMS from Hong Kong. Ten days is a good ship time from Asia. The above vendo is “cumber9090” on eBay. Compare that to my experience with Peyton Street Pens where I ordered a 78G with BB (wide stub) in teal and one in green. The teal one came fast (the vendor is in California) and was fine. The green one arrived and would NOT unscrew...except with EXTREME difficulty. I contacted the vendor right away and they got back to me fast. They said they really wanted to inspect the pen. They said they literally open each pen to make sure is has the needed converter in place. I’ve never had any Pilot pen of any kind have any problem. So I’m guessing if someone opened the pen, when they screwed it back together they did so with the threads mis-aligned and they froze things up pretty much. So I had to pay for return shipping to them. Without any further contact I got a second emailed delivery notice that a pen had been shipped my way. I assume it’s a replacement pen. We’ll see.
