1. To receive Email Only Specials, make sure that you subscribe to my blog. This is done by putting your email into the "Subscribe" field in the upper-right corner of my website….
2. These specials will go to your Inbox only. They will not be advertised on my website.
3. Email Only Specials will be prototypes, pens that have been returned, pens that have been refurbished, pens of a special material where I only have enough to make one, and whatever else I can be creative with to offer my most loyal customers. Everything offered as an Email Only Special will be completely rebuilt where needed to make sure that the product is "like-new" or "factory refurbished" (you won’t be able to tell the difference between Email Only Special pens, and any other pen that I offer).
4. There will be a discount from typical retail.
5. Merchandise that is an Email Only Special will be fully supported in the same manner as all "brand new" Edison products. If you have a problem, I’ll take care of you.
6. You will not get Email Only Specials from an RSS or Blog reader. You need to be subscribed and receive my website content through email.
7. After subscribing, make sure to check your Inbox (and Spam folder, just in case) to click the link confirming your email.
8. I won’t share your email, spam you, etc…and you can unsubscribe at anytime.
9. Expect the first Email Only Special within two weeks (I already have a pretty cool pen in mind). And from then on, once or twice a month.
In the spirit of the Holidays, I am going begin an annual raffle of a free pen.
Here’s how this will work.
I am going to donate a free Herald Pen in Black Ebonite with a Steel nib, retail value of $250. Cartridge/Converter. This pen is shown with gold trim, but if the winner prefers rhodium trim, no problem. The winner can have the nib size of their choice F, M, or B, and I will tune the nib to the winner’s preferences.
I will randomly generate a winner from my blog subscribers between Christmas and New Years.
To sign up for the raffle, go to the upper right-hand corner of this page, and you will see a window that says…
SUBSCRIBE – Enter Your Email Address to Subscribe to This Blog
Enter your email address. Once you have done this, you will receive an email confirming your subscription. You will need to click on a link within this email to verify your email. If you do not verify your email, you will not be eligible for the raffle.
Be sure to check your spam folder for this email, just in case.
If you are a current blog subscriber, and already receive my blog entries via email, then you are already and automatically entered into the raffle.
The pen will be shipped free within the US. International friends can certainly enter the raffle, but shipping charges will apply.
If the customer wants a custom grind on the nib, I can do that at the cost of the grind.
By subscribing, you will receive my blog entries. Just so you know, I do not saturate my blog subscribers.
I only do about one entry a month. So I will not be spamming you or flooding your Inbox! And you can certainly unsubscribe if you wish.
It is with pleasure that I’d like to announce the Charity Auction of two Edison Pens to benefit Cherished Creations. Cherished Creations is a charity that benefits seriously ill and underprivelaged children.
The kind folks over at The Fountain Pen Network have agreed to allow me to host the acution on their website.
Rather then repeat a rather long and lengthy thread that already exists at the FPN, I will simply include some pictures here and post a link to a thread announcing the auction.
Here are pictures of the pens that are going up for auction.
Please click the link above to learn more about the auction, about Cherished Creations, and how a donation or bid can help seriously ill and underprivelaged children.
