What I found took place after I reached a point where I was done "collecting" was that I became a "digger". I'll look for pens that need work, or for projects where I already have some parts, etc. Basically just tinkering around with old pens at a limited costs as a winter hobby. I may keep or sell the final product, but it's more about buying an old pen at a good price, then tinkering and fixing than about accumulating pens.
