How Much Time Will Pass Before You Buy Another Pen?

[Kamm]

Two weeks.....cause I get paid biweekly. HAHA!

[PAKMAN]

Bought one last Thursday and because of the Dallas pen show in two weeks, I'll probably buy one or more that weekend.

about 100 days

+1 for this right now.

 

But once I get all my very cheap pens swapped out for slightly more sturdy inexpensive pens, I will limit myself and save up for the handful of expensive pens on my wanted list.

My budget is much tighter than it used to be so I'm not really buying right now. I bought a TWSBI Micarta v2 a couple months ago but only because they were almost gone and I didn't want to miss the chance (I've never seen one on the secondary market) - and I'm glad I got it; great pen!

 

Anyway...I have 3 or 4 pens I'll likely have repaired/restored before I buy new again and it would have to be something a bit special I saved for. Hmm...a Chartres Blue 3776 with a music nib maybe? No rush...poverty is a great aid to patience

[Elyptic]

My buying is probably going to taper off now that I've figured out what I like and figured out what I need. With my last two purchases I'm pretty much set with pens that are a good fit for me.

 

On the other hand, I may buy a couple odd nibs for my interchangeable pens, and I'm still looking for the right journal and legal pad.

I suffer from impulse buying...I can never predict when I will buy next.

[Algester]

depends indeed on money and priorities I can buy a pen for a year but 3 in a year BUT that really depends I just bought a Micarta and a Vac 700 on the same day this year... :X well it was an order so yeah... now I'm saving up on a 3776 Century soft-fine for my sister post boards...

else I can but a pen in 4 years

I do not know, because time is relative. But I have the feeling that it will be soon.

I've cut down my spending on pens signifnicantly as I've decided that I've spent far too much. I think I'm going to limit myself to one MB Writer's Edition per year.

Same here, I'm seconds away from ordering my 2nd Montblanc (what a pain to save my money for a long time).

I always like to think that saving for things makes me appreciate them a lot more when I get them and builds character in the meantime.

Anywhere from today to next month, or more.

Whenever I feel like it, and see something that I want, and decide to buy it.

Obviously, the more expensive item, takes more time to amass the required capital.

I don't buy many pens, although I'm consistently tempted with some great offerings on the Classifieds here...

Yeah, that's a nice way to think. :-P

The purchase of fountain pens I find to be an art, first you must find a pen, then decide whether you like it or not, then it is imperative that you....

 

Haha, just kidding, whenever possible, I ALWAYS have something I would like to explore (filling systems, nib grades, flexiness)

 

 

 

But then again thats why I love this forum!~

Depends on the pen, but usually every month as long as it is 200 or lower.

[slide13]

I've been on the verge of ordering a Franklin-Christoph for a few weeks now, it's only a matter of time before I pull that trigger I'm sure. Unless I go deep and order the Nakaya I really want. Either way, guessing I'll have another one within a month at least. I went years with just a Pelikan M215 though, like 4 years probably, and am just getting back into pens again and putting together a small selection to play with...currently sitting at 5.

Turns out the answer was two days. It was neither of the pens mentioned tough...instead I ordered a Sailor 1911 standard today...go figure.

[TSherbs]

we'll see

 

three weeks, and nothing on the horizon

 

but going to the Boston pen show later this month

[Lou Erickson]

I still have several from the last ones that I haven't inked up yet. (Pilot Metro in Fine, loot from the SF Pen Show, Pilot Tank, Kullock P51, Pelikan 140, random stuff after the Pen Show, Parker Arrows, Parker Vacumatic Azure...),And I have plenty - I rarely think, "Gosh, I wish I had a..." any more. Maybe a Pelikan M600. Someday. Or a Pilot Custom 74. Maybe.
