Let’s say that over the past year I’ve accumulated $300 in gift cards for Amazon Canada from my in-laws - what fountain pen(s) would you recommend I buy? I find Amazon’s fountain pen selection lacking, so I’m hoping there are some hidden gems I’m unaware of. Thanks!

    There’s the option of selling your gift cards to a friend for under face value, like $250.

    They get the deal of a free $50, you get $250 to spend on pens at any store you like.

      This is actually a really good idea. Amazon’s selection isn’t the greatest, but the Hongdian M2 is awesome. Maybe get that and maybe the Majohn A2 that dual_sport_dork recommended, then sell the remainder to a friend at below market, and get more from a real store haha

        I like that idea, just buying a couple less-expensive pens and converting most of the leftover into cash. Thanks!
