I have this incredible urge to get a fountain pen. Does anyone sell fountain pens these days? Ones that are not highly expensive.
I had this really nice, aqua one 5 years ago.

I had the same thought and just got a pelikan 400 nn from the 50's from ebay. There are a lot of really cool old ones about. There is a huge directory on ebay for fountain pens. check out these beauties: http://www.angelfire.com/mac/pen… mmm fountain pens.....

the Lamy Safari pen is really nice too; i have a handful, and thats my fave. Most art/office supply stores have em, theyre around $35. (Get the medium nib, the fine pt is too fine)

Seriously - when was the last you all tried to write? With a pen?
I filled out a purchase order yesterday and it looked like a demented primate had done it.
I used to be a wonderfull scribe...

who the fuck cares version3? No one is going to drop over $100 on a pen.
Osco's used to carry decent, do-the-job fountain pens and cartridges for about $12...wish they still had them.

---------------------------i do.
sorry bout your osco pen experiences.
high end fountain pens use different ink and metals for the tips. they write smoother than the scratchy tin tips on cheapies.
i would own any of the pens i listed but never use it.
coolest for actually writing aside from calligraphy pens though are quills and bamboo
but if you want to keep being an asshole over some expensive pen posts...
