WTB: Well-Loved TWSBI Eco <B> nib Ready for a Shimmery Second Life
I'm looking to buy a very used TWSBI Eco (C/D condition or frankenpen) with a <B> nib shipped to CONUS for $20ish, all in. If broad nibs are scarce, I may also consider a <1.1> stub or <M> that came out of the box a little too broad.
I know the price point is pretty low, so keep reading for more info about what I have in mind.
Do you have an old, beat-up TWSBI Eco just taking up drawer space, but you can't bring yourself to throw it away? I'd love to give it a few more glittery golden years.
Are you hanging on to an Eco that desperately needs to be cleaned bc the feed is gunked with shimmer? Body or nib scratched and stained? Non-original parts? Two models frankensteined together? Perfect! I'll take it!
The only thing I really care about is that your pen writes with good ink flow and a broad line on the page (when it's clean, obvs). I love to play with shimmer inks, but they're hard on pens so I'm looking for pen that's already led a wild life that I won't feel bad going bonkers with.
I'd also consider TWSBI Eco-T and any of the 580 models (including the Diamond Mini), but I know A/B condition pens of those models tend to be double or triple my ideal price point. If you have one you don't use anymore and/or isn't in good enough condition to bother with posting for sale, I'd gladly take it off your hands for a few bucks.
Drop a comment here so I know to keep an eye out for your DM.
I've been watching WTS posts closely for a few weeks, but these pens seem really popular here and I haven't been quick enough with my DMs to sellers...so I thought this might be a better approach! 🤞
If you have another pen model hanging around that you know would be a great for sparkly fun, please DM me! I'm aiming for TWSBI Eco bc I know it will work well for my purpose, but I'm open to other offers in my price range.
