I ended up buying one of these direct from Diplomat for $25, and let me just say ... worst $25 I've spent on a fountain pen. If you're new to the fountain pen world and are considering this pen, I'd recommend buying two Pilot Metropolitans, one fine and one medium, instead. Or, saving up just a little bit more and getting a Lamy AL-Star or Faber-Castell LOOM.
Personally, I don't think this pen is worth $5. The nib is scratchy, the construction feels chintzy, and it is super skinny and small--smaller than it appears in the pictures.
