It seems like I notice the True Writer pens in the Levenger catalog, and think oh I like that color. Then I forget about it. When the Sea Glass model went on sale, I didn't buy it. I didn't realize that it was being discontinued. Then I really wanted it. It took a year but I found a set of True Writer fountain pen and pencil in Sea Glass and got it. Flash forward to today. I had found the Bouquet version on the Levenger eBay outlet. I waited till the last minute to put in a bid. Not enough. I bid $5 higher and achieved high bidder status. Was trying to up my bid a few dollars more when the auction ended and I lost the pen. I tried to rationalize that at least I stayed true to only bidding what I thought I should, which was basically the Levenger sale price going on right now with the Fall Foliage model. But I find myself disappointed I lost the auction. Would bidding $75 have won it when $70 was the winning bid? I'll never know. What I do know is I really want the True Writer in Bouquet. Back to periodically searching for it, and hope I find it like I found the Sea Glass model. And I hope I learn the lesson: when you like a True Writer color, buy it.
