Do you buy them online? I would like to get a Pelikan, but new ones are too expensive.

Yes I do. There is an ebay-like site here where I can find some good deals every now and then. The 'good' thing is that most of the time the seller is not really into fountain pens, so they dont always know what do they put up for sale. This is the downside of it too though. They leave the ink in them what dries up for example...
I'm yet to find a shop where I could get used or vintage pens. I know a few what sells nice new pens and inks though.

If you're in the US, you might want to check and see if you can find a local fountain pen convention. You can usually find some good deals there, and the sellers tend to be knowledgeable. Pelikan's a very modern pen company, relatively speaking, so they won't have as many of those. But you will find a lot of high quality pens with gold nibs from companies that are no longer around, and pens that feature filling mechanisms that are unusual to find today.

Great idea, I'll check out if there's any convention held here.
