I love my Strata.

   This is so good to know, as this is the first day I’ve used this pen.  At $5 and change, I couldn’t resist!

Amazon right? Omniflex? I got the same.  Shipping was Uber slow though. Looking now, they are now out of stock. Betting they won't be $6 when they are back in stock. The Red and Turquoise versions are $30+.

  Yes. Mine took 3 days to arrive. Speerbob has the turquoise for $24, but he always has good deals.  Amazon has had some really good deals on pens sometimes- I bought a Sailor Profit Light 14k for $58, a Conklin Word Gauge stub for $35, and a Lamy 2000 for $149.

Lucky you. Mine took like 3 weeks. I have my eye on another deal right now. Always watching for those deals. 

@Gaius Maximus if you’re not opposed to it, Prime is an excellent option. I get many things with free overnight, or 1-2 day shipping. There’s a ton of pens, paper, and ink available. It pays for itself in shipping costs alone, and my NWSL team games are on the free tv app.

Yeah, I usually use prime. In this instance though, it had a delayed shipping. I spoke with someone at Monteverde, and what it was, was sort of an experiment in seeing if there would be a response to the price point and that particular model. They may or may not put it back on market, or, if they do I'm sure they will increase the price accordingly like the other Strata pens. Somewhere between 25 and 35 dollars on Amazon. So in this instance, both of us made out like a bandit.
