'''Myke:''' Did you hear me? I did hear you. I was surprised. I was surprised when I hit the page. The first thing that pops on the page is the Cross Townsend Fountain Pen. The price is crazy good. That was like a huge surprise. I bought the Cross ATX that's listed below it. If you buy the Cross Townsend, make sure it ships with a Cross Converter. My Cross ATX did not, and I keep forgetting to order one. I might be able to solve that as I scroll down the list because there's something in here for me, and it's going to be a problem, and you'll know why when we do the rest of this show. But before I even get to that, the SDOS Sparkle, two of the colors are for sale, the Garnet and the Tanzanite, which those don't normally go on sale like this.

'''Brad:''' That red one, the good Garnet. Is Garnet the red one? Yes. That's a beautiful color with the gold. Oh, it's great. Oh, my God. That's so good.

'''Myke:''' And then, Myke, we have the Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava in white with an extra fine nib.

'''Brad:''' Oh, that looks nice.

'''Myke:''' And they also have the Visconti Homo Sapiens Demo Stones.

'''Brad:''' Okay, look, I know we talk about this a lot, right? And you might think, oh, come on, they're just being nice. I don't understand how Ron is selling these pens at these prices. We won't say the prices. You've got to go see them yourself. I don't understand how this price is kind of incredible for these pens, I think.

'''Myke:''' Yeah. I am. I mean, I'm on my cart page. Of course you are. But I just bought a pen, Myke. I just bought a pen. And like, I'm a little bit.

'''Myke:''' That's the one I've been wanting. It's on sale. The lava one. And it's my nib size. Yeah, yeah. The white.

'''Brad:''' Look, I'm not the biggest fan, right? People know that. Sure. I think this is a beautiful pen.

'''Brad:''' All right, hang on a second. It's very Stormtrooper-y. Yeah. It's got that kind of vibe to it. How about you do what you're doing? And I will tell our listeners to go to penshella.com. Click the podcast link on the top of the website. There's even more on the page. Enter the password, Pen Addict, and you can see these incredible deals, the kinds of deals that make Brad cry. Thank you so much to Penshella for their support of this show and Relay FM. And submit. Oh, did you get it? Oh. Well, how about-

'''Myke:''' I'm about to do a pen sale. I'm about to do a pen sale because I bought a very expensive pen, and I can't afford all these pens without selling other pens. What does a pen sale look like for you? We're going to talk about the pen you need. That's an entire show. We should do that next week. All right, great. Like, it's literally an entire show.

'''Brad:''' I'm intrigued to know. So next week, we can talk about that then, what it takes for Brad to sell some pens. Because I think we're in a similar boat with this kind of stuff of like, I definitely never want to just do one at a time.

'''Myke:''' Right. That's exactly right. That's very much at the top of the list of the topics that we would discuss for selling pens. So let's- I'll do that next week. I will- All right. Because I'm going to have to get- Since I just bought this, I'm really in the hole now. I need to recoup quickly. So I will get this done sooner than later.

'''Brad:''' Well, we might be able to get you out of that hole a little bit, Brad Dowdy. Or something else. What's that? I received a package a couple of days ago from our friends at Ajoto.

'''Brad:''' Ajoto, they made the- like, the Ajoto pen. It was one of the first pens many years ago. I think it was a Kickstarter that used the Schmidt refill that's found in the Retro 51. So, you know, like, before the Mark I, before the Squire, you know, before all of those pens, Ajoto was on the scene. And I believe they're based in Scotland. Is that right?

'''Myke:''' Uh, no, Manchester.

'''Brad:''' Manchester. Sorry. It's all up north to me. I really apologize to everybody.

'''Myke:''' That's pretty much like South Scotland, right? That's like Southern Scotland. You know who I'm-
