The closest I ever came to owning nice pens was when I was a kid in school down here. I got some really fancy Parker fountain, ball-point and pencil sets as gifts, but when my regular pens expired I dug them out and used them at school. Well you know what happens to kids' pens at school - they break, get borrowed and just plain disappear.

I do remember noticing the quality when I used them, but there were too many other things competing for my enthusiasm at the time, so I never developed any real interest in or appreciation for them. A bit of a waste, really.
