So, as I said a few times, I like pens and other stationery stuff.
But I’m….frugal.
One thing I’ve been in search of for a while were Parker Jotter refills but with gel ink as opposed to the usual oil based ink.
Every now and then I go on Ebay and search for them, I always get some results, mostly way too expensive to be worth buying compared to stuff like a Pilot G2 or any generic gel retractable pen (I should have a review of one or two in my queue).
So I was left wondering why the normally ever present “cheap chinese version of whatever” was missing for this particular item.
Damned parker style gel refills eluded me for years.
Until recently, when, while searching for Pilot G2 style gel refills, I came across the parker style ones by accident. You know, the magic of “People who viewed this item also viewed“.
Finally.
I wouldn’t have found them if it hadn’t been by accident.
Check the title of the listing and tell me you would have associated those words to the item.

So, 5 of them for less than 1€, shipped. (Edit: 02/Apr, they have now gone up to over 2.5€ a pack of 5)
Of course, I already ordered a pack (or two) of them and they were added to my “Crap to review on the site” list.
Obviously, I’ll only review them after I finish a whole refill, so I can give an idea of how many pages it can write and whatnot. So, check back around the end of the year if not later.
That is all for this rant.
