Aaaand I’m back, with this important update.
Wanted list to be updated next.
ETA: For clarity, I’ve added black, blue and red to the PD359 set in the bottom row and the black and blue to the PD345 clear clic ii set - although they’re custom mods. That’s pretty much what Pentel did anyway.
I’ve also added in my customised PD505 with the metal cap from Lindsey and the cone/tip from a Tradio and I’ve taken out the capless PD325 QC Jr. Capless QCs trigger my OCD.
The layout was slightly adjusted to accommodate the new additions.

Recently a Person’s Collection PQ12 popped up on Mercari (based on the PD205). Not sure if you collect this style, but I figured I would throw it out there.

That is such a beautiful collection!
Love all the colors!
How long has it taken you to amass all this?

Thank you!
I started on eBay in early 2017. Haven’t been actively searching the whole time though so missed a few ‘wanted’ items along the way.
Knockology and reddit have helped significantly. Plus a few very kind collectors who have traded or given me a couple of pencils along the way. It’s also been fruitful to ask eBay sellers if they have anything else stashed away.
Speaking of which, I have a few duplicates. If you’re interested, DM me.

Thank you @nimrodd. I’m not collecting the techni-clicks. There’s something about them that puts me off. That, and the fact they wouldn’t fit in my primary case. Appreciate your suggestion though.

Yes, that extra high click is kind of annoying.
But that was the first time I have seen the PQ12, so I figured I would share it here. It is going in the next version of the Pentel Book.

Yes. Is there a story here?

Maybe you don’t want to bid at the last minute, a week ago the auction ended with zero bids and it was immediately republished, I don’t think anyone else will bid besides you.

Well, I placed a bid and then contacted the seller, offering a quick sale at a much higher price. I didn’t realise that the fact I’d made a bid meant they couldn’t accept my higher bid.
Ultimately, the auction ended with my bid of £3.50 winning.
I set my address to my UK freight forwarder. I’ve just received a picture of what was sent to the forwarder and they’ve sent me a yellow corgi bus toy. Either they’re a scammer or they’re pissed they missed out on more money for the Pentel.
Not sure how to proceed now. I’ve asked the forwarder to recheck the package and I’ve contacted the seller. I guess there’s a remote chance of an honest mistake. Wait and see.

The seller has 100% positive feedback. I’d like to assume that the seller understands the implications of intentionally sending a wrong item. I’d also be surprised if he thought that random pencil was way more valuable than a corgi bus, especially since there was only one bidder.
If I had to guess, it was an honest mistake and it’ll just take a little time to clear up.
Make sure you work directly with the seller, and then eBay if necessary, before you hit with a negative feedback regarding the seller being a scammer.

I’ve sent a message to them through ebay. Very polite. Just asking if they did it in error. I’ll keep you updated.
It’s reassuring that they have 100% positive feedback.

Not sure what’s happening here.
The eBay seller has sent me a pic of the package they sent and it looks nothing like the item received by MyUK (with my address on it).
I had already received and cleared a grreen corgi bus from a different seller and the postage label appears identical. I think they’ve sent me a 2nd one in error.
Either way, the birdseye pd335 has not arrived and was expected on Monday 25th.

Corgi bus ebay dude replied. Looks like he sent me the 2nd bus accidentally.
Seems the pentel is just held up for some reason.
I hope everyone is enjoying this saga.
