Uh oh. Betty has discovered #fountainpens!
It's interesting to hear her perspective as someone who clearly regards a $17 fountain pen as "expensive", when my Pelikan M800 sells for $740, now (mine is 40 years old, and I got it when I was a Pelikan dealer, so of course I didn't pay anywhere near that much, i didn't even pay retail price).
Not sure what website she was showing for the TWSBI ECO, but they are $37 from TWSBI, not $57.
