Staples Deal - Pilot Metropolitan

[andrew98]

Staples, as well as isellpens.com, are selling these for about $10 for Black Friday (no affiliation with either seller). Staples is offering free shipping and selling them for $5 if you buy a bottle of Iroshizuku ink with the pen and use their 5 digit coupon code.

Just thought someone might find this one useful (I did, anyway).

Thanks Andy!

Hmm. That Staples link sends me to a page for Kleenex products, with no mention of a coupon code. Still, it's interesting to read that they sell Iroshizuku ink. Just ordered some from another online seller last week.

Nice. I just grabbed a Metropolitan from Goulet. It's the first FP I've written with in a long time, but seemed awesome to me. Very smooth with the included cartridge ink. I have yet to try it with any other inks, but it's looking good so far. It seems well made and a bargain even at the 15 bucks I paid.

If only that offer was for fine nib as well.

Well, the ink is only about $10 but the bottle costs $20!

It's to bad the ink guys don't do what the shave soap guys do... offer the expensive cool looking bottle with ink then cheap replacement plastic bottled inks to refill with after

I dropped by a local Staples when I was coming home today -- no dice. Internet sales only.

The Canadian staples doesn't have the pilot ink or anything cool... and I think they just redirect you to the .ca if you try to order from .com

Lucky I have a buddy in Illinois but I don't like to ask him to get me stuff as he lives in University dorms.

wonder how closely vendors like the goulets deal with pilot or other inkers maybe we can get some word through get them to think about doig this,... maybe lead some of the guys who dont make fancy bottles to keep cost down think bout doing this maybe our little groupcan lead to something special
