I have been doing some reorganizing of the collection lately and have sold off a large number of underused pens to fund a small number of (hopefully) higher use ones. That said I have faced this problem before with lower value pens, and have yet to solve it: Tomorrow two new pens arrive What do I do? I have already started to create a little space for them in pen cases and such, but do I fill one with a 'writing color' and one with an alternative color? Do I plan to write with both alternating between them from one writing project to the next? I can't see myself leaving one un-inked for any period. It's a nice problem to have, what have you had arrive at the same time, and how do you deal with it?
