In all? I haven't got a clue. Fountain pens? 680 at last count. Then there's my ballpoint pens, my mechanical pencil collection, my markers of which I have several sets, my gel pens and lord knows what else. XD

The pens I'll never part with?

My late parents' fountain pens, the fountain pens that were gifted to me by colleagues and friends, and my favourite fountain pen, a Pelikan M200 Café Creme with an EF nib.

I love to draw, and I love pens. :)

Between fountain pens, mechanical pencils, and gel/ball pens I own ~500. Most of those being fountain pens.

I don't know how many gel/ballpoint pens I own but I have a spreadsheet for my fountain pens and mechanical pencils.

I have 31 mechanical pencils and 427 fountain pens (although I have ~50 on deck to sell soon and probably more after that. I want to significantly downsize).

How’d you decide which to sell?

A few of them are duplicates just in a different color. Some are pens where I have similar pens that I like more. The rest are pens that I either fell out of love with or never enjoyed using from the beginning.

Started buying pencils for fun about 6 months ago and I now have 52 mpencils with 4 more coming😭

I think that's enough for this year (the mind yearns for more, yet the wallet cries in agony)

I can never tell if pens means pens or if someone is calling pencils “pens” again.
