Would you pay $130 for a fancy pen?

I spent £65 on a pen for a Christmas present.
The person concerned spent £380+ on postage stamps for letters and parcels sent this year !
So I figure it's an excellent investment.

Most of those pens are designed to look good, not write well. I used to collect fountain pens and the best one I had my girlfriend bought for me at Target and I wore it out. Over the last 15 years I have written 4 novels, 4 novellas, and a bunch of stories with a Pilot G-2 Deluxe Model that cost $12, the best pen I've ever had. I once applied to work in a pen store and they had one that cost $2000. The worst one I had came from the Soviet Union and was a dull steel model with a big red star on it and never did work right.

I have. There was a time I was collecting Cross pens. It started when I was in university. I saved a long time for my first Cross.

Only if it's to sign for my million dollar lottery winnings... or inheritance which is less likely

Actually, i once spent $195 on a Mont Blanc roller point pen as a gift.

Nope. I once bought a fancy chapstick for that price though.

For myself, no. For someone I cared about, yes.

Nope not even 99 cents for one. I steal them from banks, and all kinds of other places

nope

No

No

Heck no.

That's grocery money.

Yes, if it could take neat notes for me.
As I type, I realize the talk-to-text button does that for free 🫣

Wtf hell naaaa

Does it write for me

lol I kinda would yeah

I would. Here's why.
If it's a proper traditional French fountain pen, those write like nothing else and they come with lifetime warranties and guarantees.
Plus if you ever need money, they have a good resale value.

No. The most I’ve spent was $50 on a fountain pen for my brother, who was into calligraphy.

I always lose pens so no lol

Hell no. Rich people are ridiculous.
