I have seen a number of threads talking about Pilot G2 Gel rollerball refills. These will work the SPW Caballero and probably all the other rollerballs I carry. I am wondering if there is enough interest for me to start offering carded 2 packs in blue and black ink. What do you think?

I personally am not a fan, but have been asked for them many times. Bought a bunch off of ebay a while back... I'd buy them from you as well.

The price point may be an issue for you...

Off of Amazon:

I can get one 2 pack for $2.99.

I can get 6 2-pks for $11.xx.

Shipped free with Amazon Prime.

But it would be a nice upgrade option or an option to have at a one stop shop.

I do not compete with Amazon or try to match their prices. That being said, I would probably match or beat their price on a single 2 pack.

I would be aiming at people who are buying kits and want perhaps a couple of gel refills and would buy at the same time. Since adding them to an order wouldn't change the shipping one could say they ship free from me also.

I couldn't say that I am a fan either (never used them) but that really doesn't figure in to whether I will carry them or not.

A question, when has anyone called Amazon, and got the owner of the company to answer your question or take your order?

I have added a test supply of the Pilot G2 Rollerball refills in blue and black, not intended to try to fill large orders but if you feel like giving them a try, add a two-pack or so to your order. BTW at $2,20 per two-pack I am selling them cheaper than the price stated above for Amazon but I have to admit I did not check that Amazon price out myself.
