Ink sample/swap

At the risk of sounding like a swinger...
I just received 2 bottles of ink, both from Noodler's.

1) 'Zhivago'- a black-ish with distinct green (emerald) tones that seem to come out more predominantly when laid down with a broader nib and in thinner portions of a line.

2) 'Bad Belted Kingfisher'- an intense deep blue that dries to a very nice 'blue jeans'-type medium blue. (this is part of their 'Warden's ink' series and is described as 'bullet proof')

Since I have 3oz (~80mL) bottles of each, I'm proposing to swap samples with anyone who's interested (let's say up to 10 people for each ink). CONUS is probably easiest, but who knows...

So if you're interested, drop me a PM with your shipping info and I'll send you a 1-1.5mL sample of either or both. All I ask is that you send me something different/interesting in return.

Let the sampling begin!

No interest huh? Well, it was worth a shot.
The offer stands (could even increase the volume) if anyone changes their mind.

I'm actually really interested in the bad belted kingfisher. Unfortunately all I have to offer is montblanc's midnight blue. How would one go about shipping a couple of mLs of ink. For pressure's sake, I'd suggest avoiding airmail...

ZH
I'll take you up on that.
Here's what I was thinking- I have access to small glass vials that will hold ~4mL of liquid. I can put the ink in one of those, then over-pack the vial in a larger plastic tube (15 or 50mL Falcon tube if that means anything to you). That should withstand the rigors of shipping.
For the return sample, I'll include an extra vial...all you have to do is put some ink in the vial and return the package. Should be pretty easy I think.

So, if you're up for it PM me your mailing info and I'll do my best to get some BBK out to you on Monday.
