      I will agree that they are better for the planet, but I wouldn’t say that they are expensive, but they are more expensive than a ball point in most cases, becuase they are refillable. Platnium Preppy is a good example and can be had for usually less than $5. For nicer models that wont break you look at jinhao or hongdian with some of them being between $10-$30. The black forrest is particularly nice.

      fair if you decide to take up the hobby, spend a lot of time with pens and , and talking with random people (info dumping… sorry) about fountain pens.
