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!
I would say you can’t go wrong picking up a Majohn A2 if you like novelty (and/or practicality), and a couple of Pilot Parallels if you like calligraphy. Both should be readily available and neither is terribly expensive. For $300 CAD you could probably get a Majohn and most of if not the entire selection of widths of the Parallel.
I already have a couple Parallels, but now I can easily pick up the rest. Thanks!
