Get a couple for yourself. Have a couple shipped (free) to a friend. You can't even ship a pen to anyone for 99 cents.

I made such a purchase nine times. I have three. Six were sent to friends.

One person is selling them for $.55 cents and free shipping:

Nay, nay that's an auction and not a buy-it-now offer

[Dickkooty2]

Thanks, 99¢! Just ordered!

Does the vendor send to the Netherlands?

You might ask that question of the vendor but you may not receive a reply. And so, why not place an order? If your order is accepted at the stated price with free shipping included, your question will have been answered.

Looks like it's time to order again.

[GJMekenkamp]

Order wasn't accepted :-(

[rwilsonedn]

At under a buck it is really hard to argue against this pen, isn't it?

Ordered the morning of January 24 and it's already here on the West Coast, January 30th. That's got to be a record.

That's incredible! There must have been a strong tail wind on the junk boat.

I guess this is a good one to buy for my first fountain pen, can't beat the price. Better than spending $37 on a Al-Star before I even know if I like FP or would want to stick with a good ol' RB.

 

What's a good ink to use in this one?

This is a great first pen. You may find that the Medium nib is too big or too small for your liking (or, who knows, maybe just right). The good news is you can upgrade the nib with any #6 (also known as #35), of which there are many. A new nib may cost you from $5 to $20 or so on top of the pen, unless you go crazy and get a gold nib. But just get the 99 cent pen for now and see how you like it.

 

Since you're also getting started with ink, a sampler is probably appropriate rather than investing in a whole bottle of one brand/color right away.

That's awesome, thanks for the link. That is definitely a better way to go.
