This was supposed to be a Parker Vacumatic Golden Brown Pen/Pencil set, but our mail carrier left the package in a public spot and never knocked. By the time I got the "delivered" message, someone had already stolen the pen and pencil and left the box by the dumpster. I was really looking forward to this set :(

Not how I expected my VPD to go 😭

They're both *fixable*, but IDK if I like them enough to try, or if I should sell them on to a more informed buyer.

What’s your biggest pen fail? In other words, the pen that cost you a lot and was really disappointing in the end?

most expensive:least favorite

The Parker 51 is as groundbreaking today as it was when first launched in 1941. This unique writing instrument is inspired by the pen once hailed as the ‘world’s most wanted’ – retaining its distinctive streamlined silhouette and iconic hooded nib; yet is made for the future – this pen is hand assembled and made from durable precious resin, benefitting from Parker’s expertise and reputation for superior craftmanship. From conception to assembly, the attention to detail is second to none. The cap is decorated with a complementary metallic jewel and each finish is inspired by heritage colors of the past, a tribute to the original Parker 51 range. Inspired by the past. Made for the future.

 Otherwise it's a nice pen, although weighted toward the top (as another reviewer pointed out in a review of the blue/silver version); the Parker Sonnet ballpoint I have is better balanced. Uses twist action and comes filled with a black medium Parker Quinkflow refill.

Plum color darker than Amazon picture

This pen is really, really disappointing. 1. The nib is cheap and scratchy. Not well made

 The nib is cheap and scratchy. Not well made. 2. the hood is not as tight and solid as the original, not even close

A sad epilogue to a great original

 Only works with bottled ink, but even by writing several pages (probably 20 at max) each day, I fill it once a month (or every 2 weeks depending on usage). The MK II model I use is less expensive and plain than the MK V that's around on eBay for around 40 bucks, even though the latter is worth every penny it costs.

(I understand that r/fountainpens is going to be a little biased towards getting a fountain pen.)

I've done a bit of research about fountain pens and found a pen that would work for me - the Pilot Metropolitan. I'm looking for an sustainable alternative to a disposable ball point pen, and fountain pens seem to be the best option. Generally, I need this pen to take notes in class, without much hassle. Hence why I chose the Pilot Metropolitan. This being said, I've seen a lot of posts on this sub reddit saying that fountain pens are not practical, and are really just good for hobby and journaling.

I'm not sure whether or not I should listen to these posts, or other posts/websites that say fountain pens are a good replacement for ball point pens. I was hoping someone could give me an opinion on the topic.

Edit: Thank you so much to everyone who has replied so far, and to the people who continue to reply. 

The answer to my question is that fountain pens are not ball point pens, and must be handled differently. However, fountain pens are practical and can be used as a replacement for ballpoint pens. They can be collected as a hobby, but this is not their only use.

Some other things about fountain pens:

The Pilot Metropolitan in specific is not a sustainable replacement for a fountain pen unless you refill the carriages with a syringe.

Some good ink brands are Parker, Walter, Diamine, Sailor, and Pelikan.

If you need to write more than a dozen pages a day, a cartridge/converter pen like the Pilot Metropolitan would not be suitable.

Is a fountain pen a good replacement for a ball point pen?

 I have no real requirements other than a nice, interesting writing experience (either because it's a flex/stub or because it writes beautifully, like a Parker 51, or whatever other reason), but I admit I'll start balking if the price climbs too high unless there's a good justification - I plan on using this pen, so something like a Namiki is out of the question since I'd be terrified to get those pieces of art dirty or drop it or lose it. I don't know what to choose, though, so I'm going to put it out there for opinions.

The grip would be a concern, however if you like the experience on the Parker 51 I’d be inclined to say you’d like the one on the Lamy, it’s also a hooded nib, after all.

I'm looking to gift myself a pen. One nice pen amongst all the cheap, fun ones I buy merely because they're pretty or because of nostalgia.

**If you could get one pen, one you would realistically use as an EDC, what would you choose and in what configuration?** For example, I might choose to go with a reissued Parker 51, but I'd get a steel nib instead of gold (I know I'm a heathen), and I'd go with a standard medium nib because that's what I associate with Parker.

In case it isn't obvious, it doesn't have to be an expensive pen (though it can be). At the moment, I'm actually leaning toward a TWSBI 580 in Prussian Blue with a stub nib - not a super expensive pen.

If you could only have one pen, what would you pick?

This is my favorite pen gifted to me by my twins for Mothers day. Easy to use, I use it daily, but I did notice if o do not use it for a couple days it's hard to get the ink going. Nothing running it under hot water won't fix.

Mothers day gift

 Feels too light and cheap to be what the Parker pens used to be. Squeals when you turn to open and close. Quality definitely lacking. Amazon has other pens of better quality under old brand names
