I just ordered and received 2 dozen from the following:

If you notice in the banner at the top of the page, there is NO minimum order from 6-6-07 until 8-5-07. Before and after that I believe that they have a $50 minimum.

There is someone that sells them pretty cheap that is a member of this site. I will let you know who, if I remember.

I don't think anyone here sells them less than the 58 cents each in quantities of 12 or more if purchased from Nile.

Thanks for the link. I just ordered some to use when I give some pens for Christmas gifts this year. That is a real good price.

How about horizontal stands for use on a desk? e.g. to hold a large Gent or Emporer.

You know, you can make these plastic stands by taking a piece of plexiglas, bending it and cutting a little notch for the pen. You get the plexiglass sheet, scoring it by scratching a straight line where you want it to break and then snapping the strips off. Hold the strips over a hot eye on a stove until they get pliable. Bend them and let them cool. Use a round file to cut a notch in the top and bottom where the pen will rest. You might want to cut the notch before heating and bending.

Cheap and easy!

Especially when the cutt-offs in the waste bin at the hardware store are just the right width for pen stands! Then it's REALLY cheap.
