hello
ive been pen obsessed all my life so am ecstatic to have found this site.

p.s. how expensive is this going to get?

Welcome to FPN Big Bob. You'll find lots of fuel to feed your obsession on this site. Have fun!

You do NOT want to know.

On the other hand, you could go for the cheap stuff like me. Then you end up spending twice as much because you buy EVERY pen in EVERY color.

Welcome to FPN.

Hi! Don't ask about expense....you don't want to know...

Welcome Big Bob.

Hi! It's already more expensive than you can afford. But stay in tune and choose a few starters at least.

Welcome to FPN.

Welcome to the madness, Big Bob! As for expenses, just make sure the car has its tune-up, the furniture looks good, and you have plenty of clothes for the next few years. Now your discretionary funds have become The Pen and Ink Budget!

Welcome.

It can be as expensive as you want to make it, I think I spend less on pens now than I used to (or maybe I am just getting fussy), I can actually trawl around ebay now without seeing anything of real interest.

Hello and welcome to FPN! Hide the credit cards!!

Do you REALLY want to know?

Welcome

"How expensive is this going to get?"

Bob, Robert, Sir,

We do not ask that question here. It is a most dangerous one to be uttering, for the answers are invariably shocking...

But, welcome to the Fountain Pen Network! Ink a nib, find some paper, sit down and join the discussions!

Hi Bob and welcome to the FPN.

As you will have seen from other comments - this is going to be very expensive if you let it

However, you will get years of pleasure out of your fountain pens, and when you have a problem (other than of the money kind) you will find plenty of help from the experts out there.

Best wishes

David

Who cares ?

No seriously, it can get a little out of hand if you let it but there's such great enjoyment out of having and using a great fountain pen that it can make even the dullest of work seem less dull...


Welcome and best wishes

Hello and welcome to FPN.

Hello and welcome to FPN. Kick off your shoes and have a stroll around the grounds. There is lots of good information as well as people willing to share information. Heck you might even pick up a pen or two at the Marketplace.


Once again welcome.
