I have searched online, but the only place I found nibs for sale was on Gouletpens.com. But the problem is that they only sell it in one size (#6) and the one I need is #5. Does anyone know of a good website that sells spare nibs in different sizes?

Thanks for the tip, but apparently they only sell gold nibs, which are way too expensive for me...

Thank you all for the sources. So far, classicnib.com seems to suit me best.

Thanks for that jor412, I knew I'd seen Knox nibs at a good price somewhere, but then couldn't find them. I just ordered a full set. That should sort my Konrad out.

The one at ebay would be perfect for me. Too bad they don't ship to Brazil...

Things learned:

1. It isn't really that hard to buy nibs online.
2. If you don't want expensive (things), you might say that up-front.
3. People will help, even with a lack of data in the request.

Believe me, I searched online before asking this here. But apparently, "#5 nibs" is not a very precise reference to google.

Understood, Avastgard. Sometimes it just doesn't work out, and I was hoping to make light of the situation. The upside is a fair amount of info came out of the group, which is why (often) humans trump bots.
