For When You Need Some Ink
This is Dave Turns Five Giveaway No.2. It’s a slightly strange thing to be giving away a ballpoint pen on a mechanical blog, but whilst the mechanical pencil is mightier man cannot write by pencil alone. The permanence of ink does have its place, however limited, and if you are going to sign your life away in ink you may as well do it with a bit of style.
Therefor today we have a giveaway where the winner gets to make a choice. They can choose to win either the Parker Urban ballpoint pen in “lacquered magenta with chrome trims” OR they can choose the Faber-Castell E-Motion Pen-Pencil set in “maplewood with black plastic”.
These pictures are of the actual giveaway items.
To enter this giveaway you simply leave a comment here on this posting. Any comment will do. You do not have to state your preferred prize; you can make your choice after winning.
This giveaway will remain open for 5 days, after which the winner will be chosen at random, and announced here on this post, so check back in to claim your prize. If you don’t claim your prize within a couple of days then a runner-up will be chosen to replace you.
The Fine Print
This giveaway is open to all readers, but registered readers will have an extra chance in the draw. (Don't ask how that works, just trust me.) Both the Parker Urban and Faber-Castell E-Motion set are new unused from my collection, so this giveaway is at my expense.
Only 1 comment per person. Extra comments will be deleted. If you want to ask any questions, start some discussion, etc then please use the Guestbook, or email me direct. If you somehow botch your comment and need to delete it, then whilst signed in you should be able to click the trashcan beside it and then start again from scratch. If you can’t then email me and I should be able to do it for you.

Great giveaways!
Giveaway #2 - my second attempt :)
Awesome giveaway, thanks!
This is a great giveaway and both pens are worth owning. The Urban has a nice weight to it and the Faber set is...well, with the thick lead in the pencil, just great with which to write.
You're too kind with these give-aways.
Well, ball pens have their place too :) Couldn't live without them!
Thanks!! And good luck all!
Thank you very much for offering these giveaways! I appreciate it, even if I don't win.
Count me in!~

I've been reading for 4 of these 5 years and have bought many, many pencils based on Dave's reviews. Count me in as well!
Beautiful writing tools. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I already own the Faber Castell e-motion pencil.
With it's 1.4mm lead it is fun to write a little bigger.
Nice writing tools!
Pretty!
I just love the Faber-Castell's. They'll look really good on my desk! Happy anniversary!!
I like the pen
Both pens are cool. Parker looks elegant as always and Faber-Castell ones look more like for outdoor. Count me in!
I'm in again, although I doubt lightning will strike twice. :)
Beautiful pictures! Hope it's my lucky day today.
i'm in!! Faber-Castell's fan..! :)
Ready for round 2!
I'm in! Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Dave,
Davide's from Italy here.
I'm a huge fan of Faber Castell...
Hello Dave,
Count me in. Thanks.
They would make a fine addition to the collection.
I've only just started reading this site, but it got me to get a Kerry in a hurry. So thanks for the reviews!
Cool beans, I'm in too!
Yay! Count me in. =)
Count me in too. Love your blog
Count me in as well! =D
Oh cool we get a choice!
Jim, I always wonder what and where are the background photos from and why?
Jim - the images are mostly magazines and books hanging around the house. I figure a background is usually better than none. Sometimes, like this time, the backgrounds are unconnected to the subject, but often there is a connection...well at least in my mind :-)
If I am feeling really virtuous I load title text for the images so if you mouse hover over you will see whatever I wrote.
Love the blog, nice to know I'm not the only person with an appreciation for a good pencil.
Congratulation for your blog Dave. Just a question... Why a giveaway?
Great blog
I love love love that Parker. I bought my first Parker fountain pen for over 30 years ago and it is still as good as new.
Here's hoping...
Thanks for the giveaway!
GOOD LUCK FOR ALL!

The Faber Castell set looks great :)
For all who think just that too (and they are right) look at the e-motion design-line without plastic

This is a wonderful and generous giveaway. They are beautiful, but I think I would choose the pink.

Not sure how to register... so I'll go with reduced chances.. unless I'm already registered... lol
oh, and bought a graphgear 1000 yesterday... awesome! not my favorite, that would be the Lamy 2000, but it certainly is a nice piece of gear!

Sounds good to me.
I love the fat wooden look of the Faber-Castell set, so distinctly different from most pencils.
Congratulations on five years and some of the best pencil reviews around.
Those e-Motions are making my fingers twitch. Lovely.
Wow, I am in !

I'm in. Good luck to all

Found the blog by searching Faber-Castell e-motion Pencils as I am wanting one. Well, a give-away, heck, gotta get in on that possible win. What a fortuitous search. Didn't see how to register with your blog, hoping being signed in with my Google/Blogger profile does the trick.
I've subscribed to the RSS, not just to see who wins but because this is a great looking blog.
Count me in. The Faber-Castells look like an old pair of Cross pens. However, I have a soft spot for all Parkers for some reason.
Great site. Count me in on the drawing.
Duane
Sweet!I just lost my GraphGear so I could use a pencil

100th comment cherry popper.
You know, when you do these giveaways it may help to give people a prompt upon which your fans can base their comments on, otherwise you'll get these random or awkward responses.
Great contest, thanks :)
I like Faber-Castell pencils.(and your previews)
