Oddly enough, I find cheap Chinese fountain pens to be quite... for lack of a better word, random, but in a good way.
They cost a couple of dollars, and some are horrible and some excellent. You buy five, and by fluke, one will be really, really good, for much less than the cost of a name-brand.
Some are quite pretty too.

The other half had a mix of decent with the occasional /really/ smooth writing experience. I'd keep the good ones to give away to people who showed interest in my pens.
