![[Syd] Parker Quink Ink 57ml Bottle $6 Peter's of Kensington ($5.70 Officeworks Pricematch)](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/73/227873.jpg?h=97b4dbbe)
Parker Quink Ink Black 57ml bottle
Parker Quink Ink Blue 57ml bottle
I gave my one cent Hero fountain pen to my sister as a Christmas present, and today she was searching for ink. In the fountain pen thread it was mentioned Parker Quink Ink 57ml at $10.21 (Officeworks) is an economical choice, although it is 1000 times more expensive than the pen. Her search led to cheap Hero ink on eBay at about $6.50 shipped from China, which would have taken a month to arrive.
I thought I could do better (cheaper and faster) and I did. Peter's of Kensington has the above two bottles at $6 pick up. With Officeworks' price guarantee it comes to $5.70 a bottle. Officeworks wanted to add in the delivery cost ($5 to Sydney) at first, before I reminded them that I can pick up the ink for free at PoK's store.
Looks like all the bottled inks have dropped a dollar or two in price.
Parker was $7
Sheaffer was $8.50
Waterman was $9
Edelstein was $16
Visconti was $16 - $19
If you are buying more than 2 items try to get them from the ebay store, the ebay postage calculator goes by weight whereas the store seems to go by no. of items. I bought a few ballpoint pen refills and once I had more than 2 items the postage jumped to $11 whereas my order on ebay remained $5.50.
