Chuck Swisher put up more than six (yes, six) Crystal Sensa Meridians and thus far I've bid on four and lost each time in the final few minutes. This pen was of three as I I love the carbon black I picked up from a FPn member.

Sense or Sensa Meridian
One never knows, or at least I don't know, why a pen doesn't sell well. The Sensa Meridian is one of those pens. Is it too heavy? Is it too metal? What is it that makes this pen a sale item?
I find this pen beautiful, and although one journalist said he didn't have the time to open and close the cap, it has conversely helped me to make those natural pauses--just a few seconds to open the pen--and collect my thoughts in an interview.
The Fountain Pen Hospital has both the black and the crystal on sale for $34.95!
Three years ago I could have walked over to the Hospital, touched the pen, laughed with the sales staff and even had a good look-see-touch at hundreds of other fountain pens.
It is this back of the head notion that appears rarely, but does occur--missing the Apple.

Trading Places: Buying and Selling
I've finished my Reporter article, and posted it to the editor. I just have to either drive to the paper or post the photographs tomorrow. I feel a huge sense of relief, and need a breather before I launch into Farmer's Daughter.
However, it doesn't seem as if I've put to bed the issue of fountain pens. I have three wish-list pens left:
The Pelikan M215 Lozenge -- which it appears I can get for under $80.00 plus shipping from overseas.
I saw one on the 'bay for $75.00 but shipping is very high. I also saw one in Asia, but again the shipping was expensive. Isellpens has one for $90.00 and all the other retailers online are getting more than a hundred for it.
A Sensa Meridian in Crystal -- which I won't buy new as I have the black one and should be satisfied with him alone. I did however send an email to a fellow FPner who may be getting tired of his.
And, last and not least of all, a vintage flex, eye dropper. Some of the Waterman 12s on this site would suite me.
