How Many Pens Do You Actually Own?

[tgoto]

I have 5 pens.

Out of the 5, two of them I got recently.

Feels like I should have more!

[dogpoet]

More than I need, less than I want.

(Just like most of the rest of the forum, I suspect...)

Out of curiosity - how many pens do you own.

 

Need some anecdotal evidence that there are many people who have more than I have.

 

As you know, the boss at home thinks I don't need so many pens.

 

mke: Out of curiosity - how many pens do you own?

 

As you now know.....I do not have these issues.

 

Me: Don't know how many pens that I currently own........

 

Never met a pen that I didn't like.......

About three dozen. I'm actually afraid to count them.

[bigkahuna]

Currently about 2 dozen in inventory, not including the Pilot Varsities scattered about.

As a user of my pens, I have reached 1.0 on the pen index, which is the number of pens divided by the number of inkings per year. My options if I want to buy more appear to be to sell pens, write more stuff, or change the index.

About 42 atm, although a half dozen or so are unuseable in their current state until I can afford repair.

The answer is 42. I knew it.

[Margana]

I stopped counting at 100.

[sanjinp]

Currently at 11 pens, but planning to sell all but one (which has sentimental value, and is a great writer) and start the journey anew with that budget... First stop, Cologne Pen Show

 

 

The answer is 42. I knew it.

Currently 16 on hand, #17 is in the mail.

I'm with jar, I really don't know. I can make a fairly well educated guess, however it will be +/- a few hundred, most likely plus. So I too will have to go with 42.

 

Truth is, I quit counting some time ago as it just wasn't productive or therapeutic; counting certainly never changed my buying behavior. I will sell some pens when the notion strikes, but like lightening, I'm rarely struck.

[DanDeM]

Of which brand?

[Papermint]

I have 11.

The scary thing about this: 10 weeks ago I had 1...

[Manalto]

Is "actually" owning in some way different from owning?

[the_gasman]

I only have one pen but every time i take it out to use, it changes shape, colour, material, age, make, and nib. I don't understand how this happens but my wife has her suspicions.

 

Cheers,

David.

I have about 16 or 15. Maybe even 20.

[Penman222]

About 15, use them all. I generally ink 2 or 3 at a time.

[Barkingpig]

I can say I own 42 pens.

[Manalto]

It was kind of them to tell us which numbers it falls between, so we were spared the struggle of figuring it out.
