Parker 'Urban' Blue-barrel Black Gel Ballpoint Pen

In the days of cheap, rubberized multi-packs of pens available at Staples and Wal-Mart--and the lack of stationery stores, it's difficult to find a good, solid metal pen anymore. Parker's website is fancy enough, but not very useful for finding a pen for everyday use at an affordable price (they don't even list prices on their site). When I saw this pen on Overstock, I was originally doubtful; I wasn't too keen on the shape. But for $XX, it was worth a try. I'm glad I bought it. I love the feel and the way it writes. It comes with black in, but blue refills are available (I have some on order through Overstock, in fact). IMO, you can't go wrong with this pen, and I'm beginning to be a believer in Overstock, because you can find items you can't normally find in stores. Add to that the prices are good, shipping is reasonable, and service is good, and I'm a happy customer.
