Information and affirmation. Definitely information since there are so many varieties. Lately, affirmation as well, that is to say as a confessed inkwell junkie going into withdrawal at this stage I occcasionally need to see that others enjoy and collect what I do and that there is in fact a market for the items I've been spending money on for qjuite some time!
I've noticed that particularly the "online" variety of inkwell purveyors tend to disappear. But I was elated by recent trolling expeditions on ebay and others to see that the market for inks is coming back, particularly in the types comprising the majority of my collection: colored cut glass, art glass, silver overlay. Information from the collectors group can take many forms and be very helpful to everyone.
Bravo to you Fitz and everyone involved in the new site. It's off to a rousing start!
