Good question.

There are many good online vendors and also several Fountain Pen forums that have classified. Different vendors generally cover different niches so an idea of what you might be considering would help narrow the suggestions.

Again, the answer varies. Lower end Platinum, Sailor, Pilot, Pelikan pens are often found at great prices at Amazon, eBay, Colorado Pen, JetPen, IndyPenDance. Higher end pens are most often found a Fountain Pen Hospital, Fahrney's, Nibs.com, PenTime.com (especially Danitrios). Vintage flex nib pens I usually first look to Mauricio at VintagePen.net or David Nishimura at VintagePen.com. General higher end pens are often found at GoPens.com . When it comes to Vanishing Points I first turn to Carmen Rivera at CarmenRiveraPens.com .

Thank you so much. They now owe you a commission.

I've had good luck with pentime.com. Excellent service and really good prices on sale. Got some amazing deals on a few new Montegrappas through ebay from Judd's pens and pipes. Also got a hold of a new Omas rosewood for half of new cost even at the height of the Omas frenzy from bertrams inkwell. Pen chalet helped me out one time with a Napkin Pininfarina Cambiano pencil issue and there's an ongoing 15% discount code around. I also bought a Lamy Al star on ebay in copper orange from goldspot without knowing it was them. They sent me a free Jinhao fountain pen with the order. That was pretty fun to get in the mail as a surprise!

There's also Goulet and Anderson. I forgot to mention them. The Goulet's and their staff have been very helpful. Also I run into iguanasell now and then and jetpens but have not ordered from them. I ordered my Omas Paragon Noir from pengallery in Malaysia. That was an expensive pen and I was a little freaked out ordering from Malaysia but everything went great......other than the piston coming out on the pen when I got it but that's happened before with Omas
