@Integrity comssas aren't normally available in australia not sure if there is a kinokuniya in melb, you could buy cartoon comssas there, or maybe chinatown i'm from perth so i have no idea what they have on the east coast also, join AusClan, theres a whole bunch of aussie spinners, you can ask questions there

Thanks man. I did join the AusClan earilier in the morning. Just another question, is there any sub I can find? Is the Staedtler Noris Club Fibre Twin Tip Pen cap suitable? Or maybe Faber Castell Twin Tip Marker cap? I am not quite sure. -

those two wouldn't work as comssa subs the faver castell twin tip marker looks interesting, if you put signo tips on both caps, it looks like a really nice mod as for any subs for comssas, there are none in australia, unless you find cartoon comssas

castell twin tip marker already modded :D

have you posted it in show off ur pens thread yet? does the pen disconnect in the middle (kinda looks like it does), because that might interfere with spinning or, you could even use it to your advantage
-
Date: Fri, Dec 17 2010 13:14:58
No, the pen doesn't disconnect in the middle. but it doesn't look good, since im still a noob at modding

If anyone is interested in bic round stic grips and can't find them I found another pen today in woolworths, the bic ultimates they have the same end except with some glitter in it.
-

Bic round stics are found almost everywhere, you aren't looking hard enough. Also, all Australians join the group Ausclan so you can get more information.
-

i checked officework, BIC round stic GRIP is not available anymore. However, i still think you can get it in some other store. btw.. do u REALLY get information in Ausclan :P

Yeh i tend to go to officeworks! -

I haven't been to Officeworks for a long time (not necessarily pens for pen spinning) but do they also sell mod parts (grips, metal tips, etc)?
-
Date: Wed, Feb 1 2012 03:37:28
I know I am upearthing an old thread but I have found that Office National stocks those ellusive Dr Grips. Unfortunately, they cost $12 each, but at least they are local.

Where can i find Kinokuniya and Officeworks in Sydney? And besides the 2 mentioned above where else can i buy pens in Sydney and where can they be located?
-
Date: Fri, Jan 4 2013 01:07:25
you can use Officeworks' store finder http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/content/Stores Kinokuniya looks to only have 1 store in the Sydney. The only information I could find was "In the heart of the CBD"

Sorry for bump, but what are the best pens for modding in Sydney? Almost every newsagent stocks signos and supergrips (but no g3 ofc) Papermate Inkjoy 700 RT has a great metal tip Profiles/anyballs are everywhere Supertips are common Morning glory stocks these blue bear markers which are similar to supertip kinokuniya said they were out of airfit :L I have like 200 BRS Anyways, any common grips/tips/barrels used commonly for modding in Sydney? Anyballs seems to be the best, but...

Lol that post was from 3 years ago. Btw, coles and k mart sell tons of bics and anyballs. Any art supply shops in Adelaide? Cos woolsworth and coles and all the general stores stock only a few pens -

where can you find bic round stic grip pens? i tried looking for it a coles and woolworths but can't find any. by the way if you are looking for airfit and dr.grip pens, they're selling it in kinukoniya, here in sydney. but its really expensive airfit (mechanical pencil) $9 dr.grip (mechanical pencil and pen) $16 to $21

Hey Guys, I'm a new pen spinner, been spinning for about 1 week and I've been doing hours of research on different types of pens, heaviness of pens and pen tricks. I've already masters easy tricks such as thumbaround, fingerless thumbaround, sonic, infinity, double infinity and charge, plus a few more, and I'm now looking for a better pen. I've been learning all of these tricks with my friend's spinning pen, but now it's school holidays I don't have one. I recently went to Officeworks and spent $25 buying a pack of Bic Ultra Round Stic Grip pens, 2 Pentel Energel and a Pilot Dr Grip pen. I've just created a basic BICtory pen with the two Energel grips on the end and then cutting the Dr Grip grip in half and putting them over the Energel grips. I've then found a couple tips lying around which I put in the end. I like the weight and length of it, but it's still only a BICtory. I know that BICtory spinning pens are good for beginners, and I'm liking it, it's just that when I start getting better, I want a better pen and I'm not sure where to find one. I can't find any Comssa, RSVP or Sunburst pens anywhere. I know that you can buy stuff from penwish.com, but I don't have paypal and neither does anyone in my family. If anyone knows of any stores that I can buy pens such as the RSVP, Sunburst or any Comssa pens, are you able to tell me? Thanks, Hamilation

I had a quick look through the Where to find pens in Australia and Pens around the world threads it looks like you cant get a Comssa or RSVP unless you go to something like a Korean or Japanese store. Also you dont need a paypal to purchase from Penwish, you can pay via other methods like credit card

Hey nv16, How would I do that? I've tried buying stuff on penwish, but I can't see any other option other than PayPal... Thanks

When you click checkout there should be two options (well, there is for me at least so I'm assuming its like this for others too) underneath the section where you can add comments about your order, one says "Continue Checkout Procedure" and the other says "Or Continue With Paypal": [SPOILER="screen cap of what it looks like for me"]
[/SPOILER]
if you click the Continue Checkout Procedure one it should take you to a page that has all the payment methods
If it doesn't have those options then idk what's going on and you'd have to try contact @PenwisH via the website or through this forum
