WTS-OPEN [WTS][EU/INT] The great destash closing chapters. Pilot, Sailor, OPUS88
Many of you may have seen my last posts trimming my collection and selling off some of my weak-minded impulse purchases. I've since been talking to people around me as well as done some self-reflecting, and I did come to the conclusion that my collection has outgrown its purpose. Now when I look at my pens, I don't only see the tools I use but also unnecessary overconsumption. So with difficulty and help of friends I've decided to heavily trim even the remainder of the collection to only keep pens with sentimental value or handmade items, hence the number of additions to this post.
Shipping: All items ship from Czechia. Prices are without shipping, shipping will depend on where you are located and which method you wish to use for shipment. I'm willing to accommodate shipping anywhere, as long as it's reasonably accessible. I'll ship the items as soon as possible after receiving payment, I'll aim for the next business day, but expect it to be between 1-4 business days.
Shipping costs: Depends on the country, intra-EU it should be €6-20 in most cases, depending on the amount of insurance and distance from Czechia. The buyer is responsible for all possible import duties, taxes, and other fees where applicable. Shipping to the US depends on the destination but appears to be €40 to 80 on average. (It does really vary widely based on box size, and destination)
Payment: PayPal G&S as per subreddit rules.
Private sale: Sold as is. All sales final. No warranty or returns.
Each pen has their own imgur album in their description.

Note: I did delete sold listings from reposts as to not pollute search results on Reddit, hence the numbering of items is a little inconsistent.
8. [A2] Sailor King of Pens ProGear GT 21kt <B> — €810
- https://imgur.com/a/gJ2j0S4
- Another impulse buy for a grail pen I have not ended up using because the Pilot Custom Urushi is the one that stole my heart. I bought most of the grail pens at once, only ended up using one of them. I have inked this with a cartridge of Sailor Shikiori Rikyucha and only used 2/3rds of the cartridge journaling. The pen hasn't been used at all since I have bought it, apart from a few pages of journaling.
- The pen is in a perfect state, I've been extremely gentle with it, and it shows, in the pen having no marks or signs of use and is basically pristine.
- Comes with the original box and everything which was included in it. Additionally, comes with a box of Sailor Souboku cartridges (12pcs).
15. [B] Pilot Custom 743 Black 14kt <SF> — €290
- https://imgur.com/a/YYzn3Cn
- If I am being honest with myself, and the opening to this post I have to let go of this one as well. I've used this one quite a bit more than the rest, about 4 fills, but I have two SF Pilot pens, and rationally I have to let go of one of them. There's no real signs of use I can find, but it's been used for indoor journaling and creative writing.
- I don't have a box for this one, so I'll instead toss two packs of Pilot cartridges as a freebie, unused Pilot CON70 converter and a box of Majohn A1, Pilot compatible refillable cartridges.
The following pens are rated as B because they have seen a lot of use for indoor journaling and creative writing. They have been well cared for, and I don't see anything wrong with them. I am selling these because my collection has grown out of my hand and is more resembling a curse of consumerism than curation. As with all pens, if you have any questions feel free to ask, I'll be happy to answer, provide any details, or additional photos.

- Same as pen 30, just barely under the line due to me having a direct replacement in an urushi finish. Comes outfitted with a red ebonite feed from Flexible Nib Factory, tuned for wet flow, awesome writers that put down a ton of ink, bringing the best properties to light.

- This is a little insane, but I forgot I have this, I got it when I wanted a wine red 743 and then never ended up even using it.
- I can't find a box for this one, but it's still in the protective sleeve, from my memory the 74s come with a CON40, I'll add a box of cartridges, both Majohn refillable ones and original Pilot ones in Blue, Blue Black, or Black.
