Monthly Confirmation July 2026 Confirmed Trade Thread

10 Upvotes

Submit your trade confirmations below

How Does This Process Work?

Note: Trade confirmations may take a few minutes as the bot processes the confirmation.

After completing a trade, adhering to the rules listed above, either party involved should make a top-level comment (i.e., comment on the post, not on someone else's comment) declaring the trade. In this comment, tag the other Redditor by typing their username, including the leading u/. This action serves a dual purpose: it notifies the other Redditor to confirm the trade, and it alerts u/FPPenSwapBot to monitor for the confirmation. The other Redditor should then reply to this comment (i.e., do not create another top-level comment; instead, reply to the initial comment) to indicate that the trade was successful.

Important: It's advisable to WAIT until the trade is successfully completed—meaning all money/items have been properly exchanged—before posting your confirmation.

Example:

  1. u/NitroFish44 comments: Sold a Sailor S-Broad nib to u/thisisreallytricky

  2. u/thisisreallytricky replies: Confirmed! Placed the nib in a more modern Sailor pen and LOVE the way it writes!!

  3. u/FPPenSwapBot replies to u/thisisreallytricky's comment indicating that their trade counts have been updated.

FAQ

  1. The bot mentioned that additional information is required. What should I do?

If this occurs, it suggests that the bot couldn't find enough information to confirm the trade. Please message the moderators, who can review and approve the trade by replying Approved to your trade comment.

  1. The bot didn't respond to my comment. What's wrong?

Did you comment Confirmed? If not, add a NEW comment reply stating Confirmed. Avoid editing the existing comment. If you did reply Confirmed but received no response, please message the moderators. The bot might be experiencing issues!

  1. I have multiple trades to confirm this month; should I post them separately or in a single post?

You should post them separately, individually tagging each Redditor. The bot does NOT allow batch confirmations. If you tag multiple users, whoever responds first will be the only user who is able to confirm. Any other user who attempts to do so will receive a message that the trade was already confirmed.

  1. I forgot to confirm a trade last month! Can I confirm the trade this month?

Yes; you have 60 days after starting a transaction during which the bot will automatically accept a trade confirmation. If the trade is older than 60 days, you might be asked by the bot to message the moderators. Feel free to post again in the current month's trade thread even for a previous month.

Verification: https://imgur.com/a/jp7289N

Hello! I purchased the Kachfugetsu in a <M> nib and while it’s GORGEOUS, it doesn’t fit my general vibe. So I’m looking to trade for something darker in a Journaler nib (I’ve been getting into custom grinds recently). I prefer colors like Evergreen, Honeycomb and Botanical Gardens. I’m also willing to sell for $220. In the writing sample provided I included a price but that one is incorrect. Rating is B because I really did try to love it so it was often in my pen case. Probably some micro-scratches but I can’t identify any with the naked eye. There is some pink discoloration right at the “collar” but I plan on giving it a good wash and flush before sending it off.

24 Upvotes

Verification

Hi all!

I recently lost my job and will also be losing my health insurance at the end of next month, so I’m doing a large destash to build up a little financial cushion while I search for a new position.

This post is for an assortment of beautiful pens from my personal collection. I’ve tried to price everything fairly, and I’m happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos.

Pricing:

Waterman Carène Deluxe BlackMatthew Chen Mini Stub on Stock Stub Nib
D (nib grind) [A2]$390
Purchased new at this year’s Chicago Pen Show with a factory stub nib. It has only been inked once before Matthew Chen transformed it into a wonderfully crisp mini stub.

Vintage Pelikan 400 Black Stripes RAREExtra Fine
Vintage B/C$500
A gorgeous and increasingly difficult-to-find vintage Pelikan. The soft 14k nib has a touch of flex, making it an expressive and incredibly enjoyable writer.

Pelikan M101N — Medium M400 Nib
D (nib swap) — $500
Despite being about 14 years old, this pen remains in excellent condition. It has been fitted with a newer M400 Medium nib and includes the complete presentation box along with a nearly full bottle of matching Pelikan ink.

Esterbrook Estie Amber Tortoise Mini Stub
B [D for swapped nib] $250
Who doesn’t love an Estie with a specialty grind? This mini stub nib has only been dip-tested and writes beautifully.

Esterbrook Estie Honeycomb Broad CSI by Matthew Chen
D (nib grind) $280
Purchased in NOS condition a few months ago, then fitted with a Broad CSI ground by Matthew Chen at the Atlas Holiday Expo. It’s an exceptional writer—I just prefer finer nibs for my small handwriting. Dip tested using Pilot Iroshizuku Take Sumi so the dip test was on the wetter side.

Franklin-Christoph Model 66 — Fine SIG Nib
B — $160
One of my favorite Franklin-Christoph models. I love this pen, but it simply doesn’t get the use it deserves anymore.

All prices include secure, tracked shipping within CONUS, two 3ml ink samples (three for purchases over $300), and an assortment of fun washi tape and sticker freebies.

Feel free to send bundled offers. Thanks so much for looking!
