I browse on the FP Network mainly because I like Fountain Pens and actually use them on a daily basis. That said, I haven't actually written with any that I've made myself.
I recently purchased the following: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/P69-Chinese-R...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
The decision was based on one of the forum members who had also bought one and stated how good it was so for the price of a gent kit approx I ordered one and was amazed at the quality of the pen that arrived. It cost me about £20 delivered .
It was well packaged in a wooden box and the plastic/acrylic was beautifully finished and the kit components are to a very high standard of finish and manufacture. It also writes extremely well.
Furthermore, its my idea of what a fountain pen should look like (apart from the Chinese characters all over the cap!)
It's a very attractive pen at what is, a silly price and I wish that it,without the writing, and others from China were available as kits.
Just thought I'd share my purchase with you and comment on the price and value for money it represents.
regards, Bill
