Purchases made between December 30th and January 3rd will be shipped on or after January 4th. I've kept this stored away since I bought it, so I'm not sure if the ink will flow. The outer packaging looks old, but the ballpoint pen itself is clean. It seems like replacement ink cartridges are available, so I think it should work fine. The price is 368 yen, but this includes shipping. You can buy it directly. I'm not offering any discounts. This is an unopened Evangelion design white ballpoint pen. - Model: Evangelion Ballpoint Pen - Color: White - Design: Evangelion Characters - Material: Plastic - Packaging: Unopened Thank you for looking.
