You go to a jewelry store, simple as that. Visit any mall where they cater to those with such tastes.

I dunno, it just sounds like you just want it for the name rather than the refinement and true luxury of it all if you're even wondering where to get it or questioning what to look for.

my pilot g2 writes just fine + it's retractable so you can click it over and over when you're bored.

Fountain pens FTW.

i like fountain pens too, but refuse to pay the premium for the stupid name brand.

walmart fountain pen $4.99 FTW

pens at walmart write like sandpaper. these pens have prestige.

Honestly, I've never seen any fountain pens at Walmart, but that may just because there isn't a big demand for them out where I live. I found a cheap one there that was part of a calligraphy/art set, but it wrote so horridly that you could barely call it a pen. You couldn't even get refills for it. But yeah, I'd like to have a spare one that I could afford for say, grading papers or something. I don't know.

im reffering to pens that cost around $300 - $1000+s and up.

What perfect timing! I have just launched a brand of pens that sells 3 models priced at $300, $1000, and $2000 respectively. Please send me a check for any of those amounts and I will send you your pen immediately!

Your new pen will have such features as:

-Writing!

-Fitting in many common pockets!

-Weighing less than objects that are heavier than a pen!

bwahahaaha

The brand is so new it does not yet have a name or a website. It does, however, have a profit margin: ridiculous! Send money today! Please make checks payable to "Cash".

Buying a writing instrument because it has "prestige" is like buying a toilet because it has flames painted on the side. Useless, vain, and ridiculous.

If you want a nice pen to have something that writes well, then great. But paying 10 times as much (or more) for "prestige" on an item that many people will never notice or care about, and that is easy to steal or lose, is a massive waste of money. You want prestige, learn a useful skill. If a pen is really going to make you feel that much better about yourself, you're probably better off spending the money on psychiatric counseling.
