Main Topic - At what point do you feel like you’ve reached a stopping point?

• Yoss

  • Recent acquisitions made me reconsider more purchases

  • I’m not writing as much anymore is making me reconsider more pens

  • I’ve been thinking about selling more

  • I’ve actively filled out the bookcase for ink

  • I think I’m hitting full saturation of pens & inks

• Brownie

  • I’m at a point where taking all my pens with me isn’t really practical

  • But do I need all 200 some pens? What about the 200+ bottles of ink and 100+ samples? (yoss probably says no, and so does brownie)

  • I’ve been selling more and acquiring less, with only a few pens that are actively on my radar

  • I feel like if you have reached a point where you are comfortable with your collection, it doesn’t mean that you stop acquiring, just actively doing it.
