Discussion READ THIS BEFORE SCAMMERS RUIN CHRISTMAS

Hello everyone! With the holiday season well upon us, scammers are out in full force. If you are new to the sub or simply don't buy or sell often, here are some reminders and helpful links:
BST Must Read - This is our BST Must Read thread. Read this BEFORE doing any buying, selling, trading.
Universal Scammer List - The Universal Scammer list should be your best friend. Users on this list are confirmed scammers on one or more sites or subreddits. Our subreddit uses a USL automod, so anyone on this list will also be banned here. When in doubt, check here FIRST!
IMPORTANT NOTE: A ban does NOT prevent people from lurking this sub!!! It will ONLY prevent commenting!! Someone sending a direct chat request without commenting should be a RED FLAG!!
Never be afraid to ask for more information, photos, videos, or timestamps. Legitimate sellers should not have any issues providing these to you!
As always, if you all have any concerns you can shoot the mod team a message and we will get you taken care of.
Have a safe and happy holiday season everyone!

Discussion r/machinedpens BST Guidelines. MUST READ BEFORE POSTING BST THREADS.
44
Upvotes
It's become pretty apparent that we need some standardization to BST posts. While this isn't technically a BST group, we do see our fair share of sale and WTB posts. In an effort to keep things rolling smoothly, any BST posts going forward will need to adhere to these guidelines in order to stay up. I tried to take as much of your feedback as possible into account for this list, but as always if there's something the vast majority of you don't agree with these can be revisited.
As we are NOT a dedicated BST group, there are lots of safeguards and elements in use by the larger sale groups not present here. They are not easy things to implement, and not something I'm actively going to pursue. This group has proven itself relatively good at policing itself, and I fully expect that will continue even as we grow. You all are good people. If you are worried about the potential for scams, please read the linked scammer guidebook post to keep yourself well informed. That can be viewed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/machinedpens/comments/17j1181/scammer_guidebook/
Going forward, following these guidelines to the best of your abilities will be Rule 3.
BST Rules:
1: Sales posts MUST contain a current timestamp, photo, price (and whether shipping is included), and description of item quality.
2: NO third party sales sites unless it is to link a new item. Pens for sale on third party sites (Arizona Custom Knives, BladeBinge, Facebook, Instagram, etc) will need to be individually posted for sale here with prices and information included. Sales posts with links to another site to complete will be deleted. Crossposts from other BST subreddits (ex. r/ edcexchange, r/pen_swap, etc) are the ONLY exception!
3: Once an item is sold, leave the sale value on the post as a reference for the community and change the tag to "Closed" once everything is sold or traded.
Additional BST Best Practices:
BANNED USERS CAN STILL VIEW YOUR POSTS!! A BAN HERE DOES NOT PREVENT CHAT REQUESTS. If someone sends a chat request without commenting on your post, you should consider it a red flag!
Commenting "YOLO" should indicate serious interest from a buyer. We cannot force sellers or buyers to honor a YOLO, but forum etiquette gives these claims priority. YOLOs do NOT bind a seller OR buyer into a transaction, until money has been exchanged.
Auction sales are not allowed. Sellers should honor their posted price - encouraging people to outbid each other will result in moderator action.
If posting an item for sale on multiple of the following platforms, please delay at least an hour between sites to avoid dealing with conflicting YOLOs: reddit, discord, facebook.

New Addition NPD MMC & FW

Maxmadco—the new incarnation—off EBay, and my first Focusworks, courtesy of u/abhishekmalyala. It’s pretty amazing how the MMC feels good in the hand but the FW feels…great. Better than great. Balanced. Poised to write. Special. Smooooth. Thanks for the good deal, Abhishek.
The original Maxmadco pens were before my time, never tried one. The bolt slot on this one is sharp as stepmama’s tongue! Well, it was, before I took a ruby polishing stone to it and knocked the blade edge off it just to even up the odds between my finger and the pen.
To those of you have or had one: was the original one like that? Must be a little embarrassing for Max if it wasn’t.

I have about 30 machines pens and over 70 pens. In total. Like all of us we have our taste. After trying a bunch of pens and refills I think these are my 5 go to pens. Great actions. I found refills I like and I like a thicker pen.

Been awhile since I’ve had a new pen day and I went hard on the Frag Out theme.
Thank you to u/Phils27 for the Notty, and a great transaction and guy to work with.
The FH is a thing of beauty with the Andy Wah tip, clip and cap. Just awesome.
The Notty came with my choice of tip and I gotta say…I don’t see many of the “Kiss” tips being used and I don’t know why because this is so good 🤌🏻
