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.

Heck no.

That's grocery money.

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

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

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

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

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

Hell no. Rich people are ridiculous.

nope

No

No

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

[c=800000]noh seriously never
I can do lots of different and important things with that much money [/c]

Does it write for me

lol I kinda would yeah

Wtf hell naaaa

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
