Need vs want

Jade green Sheaffer BalanceWhy is it, that as long as I don’t look at any fountain pen sites, I don’t need want any?

Once I start looking I find I suddenly have a strong desire for a pen, or pens, I didn’t even know of, and without which I have been functioning quite well, until now, thank you very much. Like this Jade Sheaffer Balance with an extra fine nib, from Melbourne Vintage Pens.

This is why I currently have a self-imposed ban on browsing eBay.
