Actually given that seemingly it's possible to make disposable fountain pens that only cost some IDR 7k (~0.4 USD, ~0.35 EUR) apiece
Why do the refillable ones start at a much more expensive price :cirnothinking:

@koakuma because you will buy less of them so they cannot profit of scale as much?

@koakuma@uwu.social
how expensive is 'much more expensive'?
ivy owns a chinese-brand one (hero 240), which iirc cost ivy either around 16k to 30k (roughly 1 to 2 usd)
it's refillable too (ink sac)

@koakuma but even the refillable ones costing 15 dollars or more are still considered “entry level” with plastic construction etc :cat_eyebrow:
