I gotta say, I agree with LSPE on this one, I thought his 2k pens were excessive (and I won't go into the watches....yikes) But, he is a collector on the high side and he does take care of his toys, and, finally, it's his money, not mine!
I'd take that 18 grand, pay off my bills and take the kind of vacation iSm had in Paris.....(and add Italy)
