That's really cool that you're trying to share the hobby with your co-worker. Unfortunately, I'm not sure about sites for used fountain pens, (maybe check out r/Pen_Swap), but I have a few suggestions for cheaper pens:
I hope this helps!
Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-Kai. I love blue inks but I also use Pilot Namiki black cartridges when I'm lazy.
I second this. I can seemingly write forever with my fountain pen.
I got the Pilot Metropolitan pen, and use this replacement ink cartridges.
Fountain pens aren't great for throwing in a purse. They can leak if they're held in a bad position for too long (note that the only problem I've found from a leaking pen is just black finger tips. Doesn't even get on anything else). So I also keep these TUL pens around because they also write like a dream.
Yea I use THESE but it also comes with a plate converter for the old school approach to loading and using ink.
I am pretty sure it is this
A cartridge is disposable and comes prefilled with ink. This is a cartridge for a Pilot MR Metropolitan
A converter takes the place of a cartridge and you fill it with bottled ink. They (typically) have a piston that you twist that sucks the ink up into it. This is a converter for a pilot MR Metropolitan
You CAN technically refill cartridges with a blunt tip syringe (because I know someone will try to correct me on this). I hope that helps!
Anecdotal input here: Within the past few weeks I got my own first fountain pen, so I am far from an expert. This is just me sharing my limited experience with you since I also use my pen for work/notes.
The pen I chose as my first was the Pilot Metropolitan. I use the pen almost exclusively for both work, and my notes in sessions with my clients. The nature of the notes each of us takes are going to be very different, as I work in mental health and write very few formulae.
Often I end up having to use the low quality paper that my office supplies; the sort of paper commonly found in printers and photocopiers. Before I started using my Pilot Met I was using the Pilot G2 gel pen with a 1.0 tip. The Pilot Met that I got came with a medium nib, but you can see in the Noob Guide that this pen comes with a nib that is on the Fine side of Medium.
When writing with the new pen I have noticed a few things:
sorry forgot to mention the ink I got, I've updated my post Pilot Namiki Ic100 Fountain Pen Ink Cartridge
​
okay thanks for the advice! The squeeze converter is the grey looking sac I've got with the pen right? Is that one good or should I get another one? I've seen some fountain pens with a piston converter that seems better
Pilot Namiki ink cartridges
I did the same thing, recently, and got mine in black for $3.41 shipped Prime via Amazon:

I should also mention this set of syringes with blunt tips because I'm particularly happy with them:

Pilot Blue Black is commonly enjoyed by people, it's a good basic blue with some water resistance. Pilot Blue has even more resistance but it's lighter...
I personally use Pilot Black in a lot of my pens but it's not a very dark black. These Pilot inks are more about utility than fancy color.
​
Refilling cartridges is a good lifestyle. I wish I did that from the start - it's actually less work than refilling a converter. (No 'wiping off the nib' and the syringe cleans out very easily.)
