Fountain pen ink

So how much is this Lamy pen worth that I have at the parents house? It is black Matt plastic finish with a black clip on the front and a steel nib?
Just saw this https://www.amazon.co.uk/LAMY-safari-DB03065-Medium-Fountain/dp/B000GPI74U

Think I bought it for £4 back in the day!
Been using a Tombow since then. Which I can't seem to find for sale anymore.

This one is full black edition with black nib as you said:). I own this one. Is slightly more expensive than standard. I paid £13 with postage

I just read on Richard Binder's website, http://www.richardspens.com , that if you use any Noodlers' ink in a pen he sells you it voids the guarantee. I've not used any Noodlers' ink, thus I can't comment. Does anyone here use Noodlers' and what has your experience been?

I've just received three Noodlers samples - which I shall use only for dipper pens having read this. What's the problem with it - made of acid? full of particles?

Generally, IME, Noodler's ink is very good - I've used several bottles without any issues.

Some FP illuminati have reported issues with "Baystate Blue" saying that it stains everything it touches and can clog up some (usually older) pens. There's quite a lot of information on Fountain Pen Network (FPN) if you wish to delve further into this.

What colours did you go for Carl @Bechet?

EDIT - some further information here.
 
There's a lot of crap talked about Noodler's inks. My own experience with Baystate Blue is that it can stain light-coloured or transparent plastic, however a mild bleach solution will clean it off. I have had no problems with clogging, melting pens, nor random spontaneous combustion with it.

It is well-known that it does not mix well with other inks, so not cleaning your pen properly could lead to clogging, but with proper pen hygiene it's fine.
