Parker Vector (or other cheap FP)?

Someone "borrowed" my Parker Vector fountain pen from my desk at work,
and attempts (all two of them to track down my $5 pen have failed. I
called up Kingpen to order some more, but they said that Sanford has
discontinued the Vector. I called a couple of other places, and no one
has them.

Does anyone know of a store that might have some old stock on their
shelves? Failing that, is there another cheap fountain pen on the
market?

Regards,
Greg

You might try Sheaffer school pens from Sam at Pendemonium.

Or you might look into some of the Hero pens. I got a dozen Hero 329's
from Speerbob on e-Bay for $42.

There are always lots of them on ebay. Temecula Pens - an ebay store -
has a slew of them at low "Buy-it-Now" prices.

You might check out isellpens.com for other inexpensive pens. For
example, look at the last in the Fulliwen group ($10). There are
several Hero and Kaigelu FPs for $20.

Ebay's Temecula Pens still carries several Vector Pens.
