Pens for Aid: Pelikan M805 Blue Stripe with fine nib.

Another bird joins Pens for Aid, this time thanks to Thomas Hall. (He's @trhall on Twitter, where he tweets about pens, ink, and more.) The Pelikan M8xx series is one of the larger modern pens. It is well-balanced in the hand. The "5" at the end of the model number means it has rhodium trium, which is a cool accent to the blue stripe. The nib is a fine. This is mint, having been purchased new two years ago but never used. It will come in its original box. Here's more about the Pelikan Souveran Blue-Black-Silver series on the official site.

The pen will ship from the US, and your secret goodies will ship from Manila.

Please bid generously! I want to encourage you to bid by setting the starting price low. You're not just buying a pen, you're donating to the relief efforts of the Philippine Red Cross for Typhoon Haiyan survivors. IMPORTANT: I’ve been using a personal PayPal account to handle the donations and PayPal has just sent me an email asking if I’m a nonprofit.  We’ll need to adjust the payment mechanics while I’m resolving this with them. Winning bidders will need to send the payment to the Red Cross (ushare.redcross.org.ph) directly, then email me their receipt. Thank you for understanding!

(Please note: I am not a professional seller, this is the first time I am using this Wordpress auction plugin, I've tested it and so far it works. But if you have any concerns at all, email me stat: leighpod at good ol' gmail.)
