Thanks for the tip and discount. I ordered your favorite pen just cuz I’m a pen freak too. It’s alright. My favorite is uniball signo 207. Most resembles fountain pens I grew up using and which aren’t very practical in my day job. Using one to write though helps the creative process immensely.

I didn’t make one cent off the “BERICH” code. I just posted it because I like JetPens and I wanted to hook my readers up.

To Helen — if he had huge traffic, he’d certainly take a good income from adds. There are bloggers out there living full time on their add revenue and claiming to make it solidly in five digits. Perhaps not in this case, but hey that pen store sure cut him some pie for the promotion – that’s how it’s normally done. Which is great and smart and a service to everyone and a way to go. I just wish that same for myself, too. Miko – I recently went ballistic and switched to Bics. Got mine for whopping 10c however, so will head to Walmart the next time. On the down side, my hand hurts already.

^^^ to miko: i highly doubt that ramit is getting rich from placing a few ads on his blog. unless you really think that a few cents for click-throughs really generates significant income…in which case you are sadly deluded.

Something as frivolous as pens, on a personal finance site?

The whole idea of special ordering pens online instead of buying Bic at Walmart for $0.05 a piece seems to be against the whole idea of this blog.

I agree with M&B–it looks like Ramit is getting pretty rich. Hawaii? I wonder if it’s all the ING Direct ads on this blog…damn. Interesting how he’d never tell us how much he’s making from this site but how he’s very open to discussing every other topic regarding personal finance.

Ramit, which pen is the one they got for you? I’m curious how special this discontinued pen could be…

They don’t carry Lamy pens. Boo.
And, they group architect and artist together. Boo, again.
