Short biography | ||
In the early 80s all started with two old Montblanc fountain pens. From
then on I "grabbed" every old pen I could find. Many years I thought to be the only one with such a strange
hobby. That changed dramatically the first time I went online with a PC in 1995. There weren't too many sides with
pens on the Internet then, but at least I got additional information and contacts. Following that I put part of
my collection up under http://www.enter-net.de/pens . These pages are still up and running nearly unchanged since then. Besides German fountain pens from Montblanc and Pelikan I am interested today mainly in historic Combos (multi-functional writing instruments) and Eversharp Skylines. Another sticking point was the discovering the American eBay Auction. After some good but also bad experiences I decided to set up an own Internet Auction for Germany especially for fountain pens. The cornerstone was set for Germanys first online Auction ever. Peter was responsible for the design of the whole site and later on Det joined us, who signed responsible for the English translations and also brought his own pens up for auction. Both have had a significant part in making enter-net Auctions possible in today's form. Meanwhile there have been set up a number of automated Web auctions in Germany. But a moderated Auction of this kind is still unique worldwide. At this point my special thank goes to the many Pen Collectors all around the world, who supported the project with their bids and thus made it possible. I hope the new outfit and the extension to Photographica and Collectibles goes down as well. |

Short biography | ||
Early 1997 after nearly 15 years of hacking on computer keyboards I was shocked by the fact, that my hand cramped after one single sentence written by hand. So I went out, bought a good fountain pen and started practicing again. Collecting pocket watches had become much too expensive for me, so my collector's instinct lie fallow for some time. My special interest in mechanics of watches could be transformed to fountain pens - with the positive difference, that I could repair fountain pens, which I couldn't do with watches! Late 1997 I lurked through the Internet and found Werner's first Fountain
Pen Site at enter-net. That gave a fruitful cooperation in a virtual world. We are old friends now, although - unbelievable - we've never met in person! Meanwhile a few hundred pens went through my hands. My personal interest
in the technical features and the restorability of writing instruments is much higher than just accumulating items.
My part on enter-net Auctions are translations and eMail listings to
special news groups. |

Short biography | ||
As a graphic designer but also private I am concerned with photography since many years. Collecting historic cameras must have been a logical consequence of that interest. Strange things happened to me after the first old camera found its way to my home. Non-insiders will hardly believe it, they multiplied in a peculiar way, I got more and more and no ending in sight. I am addicted mainly to the early cameras with bellows, but there can be found fascinating examples of not so old cameras. Already 1997 a friend, Werner Kleinhorst, opened the enter-net Auctions
for historic writing instruments and I was responsible for the development of the Web design of this site.
After a remarkable success of the Auction for historic writing instruments
we now make one step further and extend the Auction with special pages for Photographica and Collectibles in common.
