GREAT collection Mark-O mate!
I'm just looking into a decent pen myself & I noticed all yours are listed as "ball" OR "roller". Please excuse a stupid question but is "ball" a "ballPOINT" & "roller" a "rollerBALL"? Am I right in thinking a "Rollerball" writes/looks on the page a bit more like a fountain pen? & please don't take offence mate but I'm not sure how to ask this tactfully so I'll just ask....! Isn't a rollerball &/or a ballpoint a bit like a quartz watch....?? A bit maybe .... "soulless" perhaps...?? I remember reading once that "it's what's inside that makes the difference between a good watch & a good-looking watch" .... Is it kind of the same with pens?? Honestly I mean no offence Mark-O but being a total newb to the pen-thing I just wondered why you'd not got any traditional fountain pens in your collection? Thanks for your help mate......

Rollerballs use a more watery ink, like fountain pens.
Ballpoints use a paste ink. That's the difference. |
