When I bought my 1st scope, it came with 1 ep, a Chinese 2" 32mm.
Then I bought a set of 9 cheap 1 1/4" Chinese Plossls, which included a Barlow, to see which ep's I used most.
The my second scope came with another 3 1 1/4" Plossls.
I have just bought 7 Vixen LV's, a 4; 9; 12; 18; 25; 40; and a 50mm 2", but as yet there has been nothing to see, except clouds, and they look the same through any eyepiece.
I'm one of those people who can't get rid of anything, in case it comes in handy sometime, but on this occasion, you may see a few ep's in the classified section in the next few months.

I have 2 - Super 20mm and Super 10mm Plossl's that came with the scope. Both are 1.25" eyepieces
I recently bought a 2.5x GSO Barlow, to make my 20mm behave like an 8mm, and my 10mm become a 4mm. Results are quite good, now I have 4!
Saturn at 250x is looking much better!

Ups the ante to 24 plus five barlows - I can't resist a good price on an EP and the barlows are for imaging to give a range of focal lengths.

My collection grew like topsy. I have some eyepieces dating back to the 70s, some from when I bought the 15cm refractor, a swag that came with the new 25cm GSO and then I treated myself to something nice. I haven't even looked through them all!
Unitron 40mm Kellner & 20mm Erfle
Celestron silver top plossls 17mm & 7.5mm
1rpd 30mm
Andrew's ED 9.5mm, 5.2mm and 11mm UWA
GSO SP32mm; plossls 25mm, 20mm, 15mm, 9mm, 6mm, 2x barlow
Williams Optics binoviewer with a pair of 20mm eyepieces
TeleVue 9mm Nagler T6
That's 17 eyepieces and a barlow. Trouble is that the collection isn't balanced - I'll have to rectify that!
