Tombow

My Tombow collection is pretty elite, except I don't own any of the following:

• Woodgrain EXTA models • Variable models (3, 4, 5)

With that said, there is one pencil I'm dying to get—it's this double-knock in 0.5 (https://ameblo.jp/staedler-rotring/image-11663310455-12735518130.html)

Does anyone know the proper model number?

Also, one of these just sold on ebay (by mtwritingco), but it appeared to be in poor condition, and the double-knock centering action looked suspect in the photos

Absolutely gutted—my sniper bid was outbid on an auction for 19 Tombow W-knocks 😔

Sucks when auctions close while I'm taking the kids to school

That stinks. Love the Buy Now when available

Do you have the link?

Well, I know you have the link - could you share it?

I closed the tab, let's see if I can find it again

First time I've ever seen these available, and I thought I went ham on my bid

obviously, it wasn't enough

So bummed—Tombow double-knocks are badass

And this auction included both variants—black and navy

And I could have sold 17 for at least $65 apiece

I should have just bid 40,000¥

But I'm a dumbass, so I didn't

Oh man those blue ones. 🤤

Both Pilot and Tombow made this style and size of double-knock, and Colleen and Pentel had similar entries as well

Of the ones I've used, I find these Tombows to be the very best

Although Colleen is extremely strong in this arena

But I suspect the Pentel 5 hairline double knock is the best of them all

Had a chance to buy one of those for $132 and didn't pull the trigger

Then again, I am the world's biggest double knock fan

Never saw a gold Dimple before last week, but now they're popping up everywhere:

https://jp.mercari.com/item/m84142290929

Too bad Tombow used a cheap plastic clutch; they ruined a lot of their best models with cheap internals

(all 4 in that listing above are junk, though they could be rehabbed if you were able to find a lot of 10 black Dimples)

I mostly leave that stuff to Money-Mechanic or Progstu 😂

There's a gold dimple on YJP I'm watching.

Me too, so I'll need you to stop watching

Hah

You can have it

🙏:skintone6:

My red dimple spits out 1cm of lead with each push

Even so, I really like the Dimples

you'll learn what I like and hook me up at some pernt

especially the Dimple pros, which are really top tier

What are your favorites?

I focus on the Quicker Clicker family. I have most but there are a few I dont have

No current interests outside of that? I've got about 200 worthy listings I think other enthusiasts would enjoy

oh yea I collect others but I'm not dying over them

eBay has been kinda good for Quicker Clickers the past few months

yes

yea I've had all of those for years if not decades

That gold Dimple went for like 6400¥...resin clutch and all 😳

Yea when I was watching it early on I was hopeful then you said you needed it so I unfollowed.

I checked on it earlier today and gawwee

Prices are silly right now. If I had any sense at all, I wouldn't bid.

But tomorrow is a BIG day 😖

Yeah I have a big day starting at like 5 am I believe.

I better look

Well fug...

I only do snipes now because of the time change, but tomorrow is my last buying day for a long time

Buyee has pissed me off to the point I don't want to use them anymore

and I want to free up time to build out this new business

Because of the restraining order?

Surprisingly, that hasn't put a dent in my activity yet

Hah

Aight let's have it out, what are your must-haves for tomorrow?

One sec

<prepares to add a zero to each sniper bid>

I have 8 auctions for tomorrow that I've bid pretty aggressively on

We only have 2 overlaps

The blue p555 and the crew id really like

the P1075 and the FFF

I can pass on the others

I have a green crew and maybe a black one I would be happy to sell ya

I definitely eyeballed each one of these you are watching, tho

impeccable taste

I think an all-black FFF went for ~6500¥ recently

(which I think is ridiculous, but I could say that about a lot of pencils these days)

That orange Kokuyo mistral you picked up was a solid deal

there's a blue one for ~2500 on Mercari

Yeah I lol forward to packing up in a week or so

I think my D-day is the 24th

but I have learned to stop 7-8 days early after getting hosed a couple times by late shippers

and I have 21 items that hit the 30-day expiry on the 24th

Looks like this one is gonna go nuts:

Getting into the longtail of collecting is brutal—I paid 20,000¥ last week for a lot so I could get one pencil 😔

Hope that works out.

Oh I'm not bidding on that Colleen—I know a trap when I see one, lol

The 20K lot is fine bc it included M3-1052, M4-1052, and M5-1052 in mint condition

I'll be able to recover pretty much all the cost right there

Middle one here is an M5-1052:

Welp, didn't win the FFF 😔. (4411¥)

Didn't win the fucking P1075 either

I figured you won the FFF

(I thought I had bid a wildly high amount for that one)

Didn't win the red Kerry with "5" notation

*Thread Reply:* What's the deal with this?

*Thread Reply:* Are the ones with the 5 older?

*Thread Reply:* Yes

*Thread Reply:* So there were 6 original Kerry models with the 5 designation

*Thread Reply:* and Pentel trotted out lots of limited edition colors with "5" through the years

I was watching that one and the blue and the brown but bowed out

Failed on the green Sharplet 501

Didn't even bid

This is wild—my bids would have won easily September–November

JFC missed the H-1094, the only one I wanted

Things are different now

my sniper bid was not placed because it was not higher ENOUGH than the current bid

Even though my bid was higher than the final price! GYAHHH

Not sure when it'll cool off. And probably by the time it does nothing will be available anymore

I did get these two ancient Pilots

I got my Crew and P555. Time to stop watching for a bit and let things get delivered.

nicely done!

It looks like I was the last person to be outbid on pretty much everything I bid on

(which is common now)

At least you did well in 2021

I'm guessing 7 people are watching this to see if it actually sells for that price.

This dude keeps making his prices higher

Turkish Tombow 0.6 guy

Super cool pencils though

I have a friend in Turkey who can get his hands on the Non-Stop 0.6 + leads. But the trick is the clear barrels tend to have small cracks in them.

I have four of the 0.6s and a TON of lead 💅:skintone6:

All the Turkish stuff comes with 2B, which is awesome

They like the dark lead in Turkey

0.6mm lead? I assume that's just Serve rounding up standard 0.5mm lead and calling it 0.6mm?

It's actually 0.6mm and doesn't fall within the range of 0.5 or 0.7

Tombow’s “0.6 mm” mechanical pencil

数カ月前、Instagramでトルコの筆記具マニアの方がシェアした画像を見ていたら、見慣れないトンボ鉛筆のシャープペンを見つけました。見慣れない といっても、軸自体はよく知っているトンボ製品だったのですが、軸に「0.6」という表記があったのです。最初は海外の0.35mmや1.0mmのシャー プペン同様、日本と呼び寸法が違うだけで実際は0.5mmや0.7mmと同じ芯なんじゃないかと思ったのですが、その画像では同じモデルで別の芯径の シャ...

Just noticed that two Tombow Monotech 1000 0.4s have gone for cheap on Mercari recently

*Thread Reply:* Ah! Was embroiled in real life matters… they'll come around again :-)

*Thread Reply:* I feel like the price may be going down for a little while, which is nice!

One in a set for ¥6800 (3, 4, 5), and another standalone for ¥4600

(immediately thought of @Kelvin Pang (drifand) here)

Giving the ol’ Monotech 1000 0.4 a go… not the mintiest but… alright.

Agree. Quite reasonable! I'm just thinking whether to get the 0.3… with the plasticky silver lead hardness window.

I've got to get the SH-700W 0.5 before I can focus on these higher-end drafting pencils

I also want the blue and black versions of the Tombow W-knock with that lightning-style silkscreen

Never seen one before; absolutely LOVE that tip; reminds me of the water droplet tips on Pilot executives from the 1970s

I've actually got a bid on that

Interested to see how high it will go for

Good thing you mentioned that.

My guess is 13,299

I saw one of those sold in a Tombow lot and it didn't go for that much. Probably around $100-$200

But when this was first posted, the owner had it for like $700

13,299 is like $105 at the current exchange rate

*Thread Reply:* Might have been the listing of the year so far. 3 super rare Tombows plus the MONO executives...for less than the price of one of these pencils (the body knock with black tip that sold recently)

Here's that set I was talking about

Oh man, those three MONO colored ones!

In-variably expensive…

I see the caps. That is very cool! The markings in the middle seem to indicate that twisting does something. Is this right? What does it do?

It's a lead regulator function, like on the Staedtler REG or the OHTO Super Promecha. You twist it to set the amount of lead advanced per click. The amount varies for each model:

0.3mm model: 0.2–0.6mm 0.4mm model: 0.3–0.7mm 0.5mm model: 0.4–0.8mm
