If I buy a dozen pencils, will I also get an original box?<\/strong> <\/meta>Just one pencil? I thought I was buying a dozen!?!<\/strong> What kinds of payment do you accept? <\/strong> Do you ship overseas? <\/strong> <\/meta>How much does shipping cost? <\/strong> All prices shown here are in US$. Please see above regarding international insurance for some countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is your return policy?<\/strong> Do you buy rare and vintage pencils? What is your favorite pencil of all time?<\/strong>
Most likely, no. I primarily sell singles here at Brand Name Pencils, and you can buy as many single pencils as I have in stock. Sometimes a photo of a vintage box will be shown, but that does not mean you will get the box if you purchase a dozen. There is a small chance that I have extra boxes, so if you wish to buy a dozen you can contact me<\/strong><\/a> (before placing an order) to ask if I have a box to include with your purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brand Name Pencils is the world\u2019s number one source for buying single<\/em> hard-to-find collectible pencils. Unless the product description says otherwise you are buying just one pencil. Please read the description carefully before placing an order. The last thing I want is for you to email me unhappy about receiving only one pencil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prices listed are in US$, and I accept all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Sorry no Venmo, Paypal, or Bitcoin at this time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, I ship to countries all over the world. In some cases, depending on your location, I may require international shipping insurance. If so, after you place your order I will contact you to confirm the additional insurance cost (if any). Some of my international customers will use a U.S. shipping agent, in order to avoid extra insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For customers shipping to a U.S. address, you have two options: USPS First Class for $5.95 or Priority Mail for $10.65 For international customers the pricing is as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
All items are sold “as-is” meaning I do not accept returns. If you have questions about an item please ask<\/strong><\/a> prior to purchasing! I want you to feel good about your purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTrading and Selling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Yes, I love to buy and trade pencils. That\u2019s exactly how I’ve built this massive collection! If you have something to sell, please contact me<\/a><\/strong>. I try to respond quickly to requests, but if you don\u2019t hear back from me within a few days feel free to reach out again. Perhaps your email got buried in my inbox. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPersonal Stuff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is a tough question, because I have many favorites! I am personally a big fan of vintage Japanese pencils<\/strong><\/a>, probably in part because my wife and I visited Japan 20+ years ago and we have fond memories. There is a particular pencil<\/a> <\/strong>in my collection that is extremely rare, so that would have to be high on my list. One of the first pencils to ever catch my eye as a middle schooler in the 1980s was the Eagle Black Warrior<\/strong><\/a>, so that one is definitely on the list. As for others, let me give it some more thought and get back to you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
