Cross 'select tip' pens?

[afruba]

I just found one of these yesterday in the "sale" basket of my local bookstore, for the equivalent of US$ 10.00, which by itself is not bad for a 1/20 14K US made body. It came, however, without refill and none of our three (!) bookstores sells them (I live in very smal country). In one of the stores the told me that a Uniball gel refill fits more or less. This is the right way to say it. It does fit, but the tip is a little bit too short. For the time being it can serve, but I'll try to get a refill when I go abroad.

Does anybody other refills that fit?

Have you tried looking online? There are many pen supply stores online that carry the gel refills for the Cross selectip pens. I don't know what country you live in, but surely there is someone who will ship there.

Thanks jread. I know I could order them online, but with international shipping rates and import duties that would become a very expensive refill. I hardly ever use anything else than a fountain pen so it does not really make sense to order a roler refill from abroad. If the selectip had not been so cheap I would not have bought it, but $10 was just too good to let it go.

By the way, my country is Aruba (Dutch Caribbean), no more than 100000 people and as many fountain pens available as on the north pole.

If you want, I could check and see what it would cost for me to mail you some refills. They're around $3 apiece U.S. and I can't imagine shipping being more than $5-6 U.S. How many would you want and what color (black or blue ink)?
