Ok you have a choice, you can go out and buy a Mont Blanc Rollerball pen for $200 like the one here Mont Blanc Rollerball. Or you can go out and buy a Mont Blanc Refill for about $5 per refill and file the tip so it fits in your average $2 Roller ball pen!
If that isn't cool look at this DIY tazer... http://www.sagags.com/?p=4

guess I'm not big in to pens, what is so good about a Mont Blanc that it cost 200 bucks?

I'll stick with my 5 dollar a box Uni-Ball Vision fine tip.

Man, Who'd pay $200 for a pen?
What a complete waste of money.
Funny though, considering all the people who have overclocked and modded their video cards to save money and gain more quality. Kinda falls into the same fold....

Why is that pen so expensive? I only use parker pens, and the one i currently use cost me 30$, just because i like the company and the ink replacements last me a year of very day wiriting.

Hey, I hear you there. That and Doctor's offices. With 5 doctors in the family the occasional trade show I'm set for the year. Truth is though its going to take a decade until the massive box I've accumulated ever runs out. Its comically massive.

I love the companies that buy pens that say "This pen was stolen from..." I have several. :lol:
