What Is A Sane Number Of Pens?

[Behike54]

How many books make you insane? My house is full of them, my office too.

How many music discs make you insane? Just Mozart are about 200...

Sure I already am insane, so... What pens have to do with it? :-)

 

 

And there you have it!

But books are so decorative.

The pens I most enjoy teach snippets of history.

I am neither conservationist, or curator.

Nor must I have every shiny object capturing my fancy.

Ahhh-What is that ripple ringtop pencil suddenly appearing amongst my rt pens?

p2p uneasily shifting from one foot to the other adjusting priorities.. trying for balance of outside interests.

The upper limit for sane is one pen more than you already have.

I think you're right!

People like us who post on a forum like this should know better than ask questions about sanity...... ;-)

A sane number of pen ?

 

As I wrote in another topic, it's N+1 ...

I hope sanity comes my way soon, before I run out of money and storage space...

 

82 so far. Won an auction on ebay today morning and another bid is ending soon. Maybe 100 will be a nice round upper limit ...

 

But if some nice ebonites come my way all limits are off...

I should be mad or something .... That picture has been made a few months ago. Since then, I have pore pens ...... Is that insanity ?????

Perhaps its a bit like that saying about age "Old is always 15 years older than you are"; an insane number of pens will always be more than one currently has !

WOW! I like your pen cases. I really need some of those.

I'd call that effectiveness in pursuit of pens. Nice collection, by the way.

One set for home and another for work.

 

Anything more (or different in any way) is insane.

 

That sounds reasonable. ^_^

Hello Everyone,

 

I always thought 111 was a nice, round, sane number.

 

Best regards,

My goodness. If I could just be there firsthand! What an awesome collection. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I stopped counting at 1200. Not sure if I have more or less than that now, but am pretty sure it is a lot more. My hobby spiraled out of control, exceeded the capacity of my house and now I have a store. What does that make me?

Well, given that I have bought inks and repair parts from you, I'd say that it would make you an enabler....

Well, I've got about 15-16 watches so I figure that's reasonable for pens. However, I've only got five fountain pens at this stage (and just two bottles of ink).

[oregano]

I think 3-6 would do the trick. 10 is insanity for me! But alas I reached ten pretty quickly; hopefully I'll have no more than 20-25 pens ever. I would rather use disposable pens than have too many nice pens I can't use all in a month. I use rollerballs too, which makes all this calculation a tricky business...
