This pen is great for demonstration parties because their is no cap to get lost. They're not too expensive if one gets "lost" and they can even be an incentive to get someone to book a party if some likes one enough. The purple one is very popular. In the long run it's cheaper than replacing ones that lose their caps. It looks classier too.

I wait tables at an expensive restaurant so it's important to have a nice looking pen which isn't too expensive that way if a customer walks off with it it's no big deal. I have been using these pens that for work for maybe 4yrs now. But, this last batch I recently purchased felt different and the ink has been spotty - many of the pens need to be shaken periodically to come to life. Maybe this is an isolated case of a bad batch.
