I use a Sheaffer fountain pen with a refillable chamber. Just press the bladder a few times and there you go, inked for good. Also smears my hands because it sometimes leaks on the bladder.

I used to write with Parker Vectors in my childhood. The pen writes smoothly, its nib is sturdy, but on the flip side - the piston mechanism is not easy to operate (not to reflect on piston mechanisms in general) and the writing is THICK! That may be a turn-off for you!

I have a Cross ATX fountain pen, M nib. It has great ink flow, and writes very smooth with its steel nib, but it tends to help the ink "feather" a lot.
I'm not that big of a fan of the current Cross fountain pens. Personally, I think the best bang for your buck are Jinhao pens that are gold plated. You can find them on ebay for 18+ bucks.

I recognize that bottle. . . That's not ink, it's Skrip "writing fluid, the successor to ink".
I look favorably on the Esterbrook J. They're built like a tank. OK, make that a very small plastic tank, but you know what I mean.

Har- You got me there it's Skrip alright!
The Esterbrook is great too 'cause there are a lot of interchangeable nibs still out there- what a great idea-

I've seen some fountain pens on ebay running into the $1,000's. Do people who buy these things normally use them for everyday use or just to collect?

Hi-
There's different opinions- some folks won't ink an expensive pen 'cause they feel it reduces the value- others think that pens are MADE to be used and use them- that's more like I feel, but I don't have any $1000+ pens either!
