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.
