It was a piston filling Delta. Something I really wanted and found it at a good price.Inks, well yeah…I bought more inks! Dang good looking exclusives like Fire on fire, Diamine German inks, etc.I have been getting rid of some pens in a “mailing them to newbies” like Kondo event, in some servers I’m a part of.BrownieI say I want to pace but I do the exact oppositeI have moved more towards collection pieces instead of just mass acquisition, things to round out the collectionI will most likely doing a mass sell off of the stuff that isn’t in storage when I get back in the country, both pens and watches, which will lead into my real hiatus (mostly hiatus)Social MediaBrownie’s InstaYoss’ InstaYoss’ DiscordBrownie’s Discordnotanotherpenpodcast@gmail.com

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 radarI 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.
