Hello all,
I've been doing a lot of research on fountain pens recently and I've felt a growing affection for the art of fine writing. I see I just missed a Pelikan 200 FS. Any other Pelikan 200's for sale, or advice on the best place to buy one?
Forgot to mention, I would prefer a fine nib.
Thank you.

hi Jollyroger131,
Welcome to the forum.
I want to share with you my experience with Pelikan nibs. I bought a M400 F nib pen on this marketplace forum. Upon receiving the pen, I was a bit surprised to see a F nib pen write like a M nib pen. I have asked for a change in size nib to EF, and am awaiting for the arrival of the new nib.
Good luck in your search. Pam Braun sells M205 Demo for $59.98 each, and isellpens.com sells M200 for $54.99 each.

Hey, I rather like this isellpens.com place.
Their price is quite a bit lower than I've seen this pen before, so I bought it. Thanks for the recommendation!
And about the nib, I couldn't decide between a fine and a medium, so a thicker "fine" might be alright. If not, I chose Pelikan partly because of the ease of changing the nib!
I look forward to my time on this forum.
