Well, I wish I read a bunch of other posts about this "seller".... But, maybe my experience will save someone from dealing with this person.

March 31, 2026 - Purchased a nib "Pilot Vanishing Point" (no work, just a nib unit)
April 8 - nothing from him, sent an email just to check the status of my order. He didn't reply but updated the status to "Sent"\
April 13 - received the nib, tested it and it was very scratchy.... Very scratchy. I mean, for an 18K nib it was HORRIBLE
April 13 - Immediately sent him an email asking for my next steps
crickets
April 15 - sent a follow up email
April 16 - he replied "Send it back at your convenience. Do you want to exchange it, return it, or have it tuned?"
April 16 - I chose a return, at his point I didn't want to deal with him He started gaslighting me, trying to tell me that I am the problem and in the last 10 years I am the first one who wants to return the purchase (Yeah, right....) He told me that the problem is me, and I don't care about his circumstances (his birthday, or other things)
April 17 - Sent the nib back. USPS priority. Recorded a video of packing, a bunch of photo
April 20 - Delivered
Crickets......
April 28 - Sent a follow up email
Crickets...

I gave up and opened a dispute with my credit card company. I know what to expect from him, he will dispute my dispute (just read the different posts and I will have to proof my CC company or involve FTC to help the Credit Card company do their job)

I am not sure what kind of problems he has: drugs, mental issues, but be aware before you buy anything from him

UPDATE
April 30 - He replied saying he was busy with some other 25 returns. He issued a refund.
Told him I will wait until the refund clears out and then will withdraw the dispute.
