So how many pens went through your hands ?

I bought and sold lots of pens and I believe I had the pleasure to have altogether in my possetion around 250 pens

Again just to clarify I want to know how many pens you had throughout your collecting days.

Between 20-50, but hey I have only been at this about a month. The good news is I am starting to settle back, and now I have an idea of what works, and what works for me.

I am creeping very close to 100... actually, including the troop of Sheaffer cheapies from school days and three or four other lost souls, I'm now over. Thus far, sold one and gave one as a gift. Someone call a mental health care professional, quick!

Depends what you mean by passed. Mine only go one way, into my collection I keep thinking about selling some, but can't bring myself to do it at the moment.

Haven't really counted them, but must now have something in excess of 100.

Wow, you've pretty much described me here (I'm more like 70 pens when not counting my stylographs). I've earmarked quite a number of pens for sale, but haven't gotten around to unloading them yet. I haven't taken the FleaBay plunge, but I expect that after selling the first pen the rest come easier. My hold-up is pen photography--I want to achieve a very professional look, as that seems to help quite a lot with making a good sale.

Hmmm....

I'd say about 10?

Sheaffer school fountain pen - Red.
Sheaffer school fountain pen - Yellow.
Sheaffer school fountain pen - Yellow.
Black fountain pen - Black.
Fountain pen - woodgrain.
Blue plastic fountain pen - steel clip & bands.

*Pens in BOLD are pens which I no-longer own. Invariably lost over the years*.

Currently -

Montblanc Meisterstuck 145.
Campo Marzio "Minny".
Parker 51 Flighter.
Cross Metropolitan.

Easily 150 by now.

After few years of collecting you will find yourself ready to sell some of your pens,its a natural course with most collectors.
