Hey, I can't make any promises about the quality of the dealer - I have no experience with them, but I thought I'd share. Check out www.paradisepen.com - they have a 2 for 1 deal on the Rotring 600s! Only catch seems to be they have to be the same color.

I already had a pencil, a fountain, and a rollerball in this series, so I went ahead and picked up 2 ballpoints that I'll be using on my Fatboy pen loop. 2 Rotrings for $37.00 - woo! Shipping was a bit on the high side at $7.50.

I'll post once the pens arrive!

Wow, that is a great deal. I'd love a couple roller balls, but have spent WAY too much on toys lately (Dell 19" LCD arriving tomorrow!).

Bad timing for me but an awesome deal.

Hi All-

Paradise Pen does have retail locations in malls if you want to avoid shipping charges. If you live in a state where they have a location, you're going to get hit for taxes anyway...so it's worth a short drive.

Saw this Rotring deal that Rajiva mentioned the last time I was there. I have to admit it's pretty attractive.

I fell for it at the local shop. Got me a nice rollerball and pencil. If you'd been thinking about getting one of the Rotring 600 get them quick cause Rotring discontinuing them... :(
 
They had the same deal before last Christmas and I picked up a black 600 ballpoint and mechanical pencil. They are indistinguishable and several times I've picked up one thinking that it was the other. Oh well. :)

A side note. A while afte I bought the pen and pencil I dropped the pen on a tile floor and it (somehow, I'm not sure) bent hte mechanism up so the pen wouldn't open or close. I looked at hte fine print in the instruction booklet that came with them and it gave an email address and a snail mail address. I sent them (rotring/sanford corp.) and email askingthe mwhat I could do about the pen and they said to send it in. I mailed the pen and two other that had been rendered hors de combat and waited. A month later I got a package back from rotring/sanford corp., It contained three BRAND NEW 600 series ball point pens! I was amazed. I thought they would jsut fix the old ones and send them back to me. I certainly wasn't expecting 3 brand new pens.

Thanks to that they earned themselves a lifelong customer. :D :D :D
 
just picked up 2 ball points and 2 rollerballs. One of their retail store fronts wasn't too far away, so, like you said, I'm paying tax anyway, why get hit with shipping too. Very happy (=

Geez, thanks a lot Rajiva! :mad: ;)

Now I went ahead and ordered myself a set of rolerballs. Guess it is better than just using the cheap freebie pens I get from drug companies anyway. Even though I really have been trying to save up some money I just couldn't pass up on that deal. Thanks for the heads up. :D
 
Well, you are welcome EriK! It's just what you guys deserve, now that you've got me visiting here every day, carrying a Fatboy manpurse stuffed with blades, flashlights and and multiple firestarting options. :D :D

I'm actually impressed that I kept it to a single order...I love these pens, and I'd like to have a stockpile...for myself and for gifts!
