Where you buy your pens

Just curious as to where most of you buy your pens. Online or in person?

So far I have bought most of my pens in person at a store or show. But I do have one pen on order from Fountain Pen Hospital!!!

I've used Joon pens for my Pelikan, Taccia, and Lamy. I'll either in person to NYC or online joonpens.com The prices seem pretty good, and the staff is knowledgeable when you visit. For my MB's I go to the boutique in my local mall.

Where to get pens

I really like http://www.myfavorgifts.com/home.php, good prices and they have a lot of cool options for pens such as engraving.

I test drive my pens at any fine boutique. Also, at Bittner's, in Carmel. I would never buy at Bittner's, as their prices are astronomical. But, it's okay to test drive there, then buy at a reputable online dealer and save 50% of the price. That's been my experience.

I bought my Mont Blanc from a seller through a friend in Toronto. My other pens I bought at work for very cheap! Vintage Parkers and such!

It has been awhile since buying from Joon, and just checked and you guys are correct that Joon pens is out of business. Too bad, any clue why?
