As advertisedLove sharpie permanent pens. They get the job done.im not originally from the united states , back home sharpies are very expensive and very rare to find , so i never really tired them out as much , but have always heard about them and how they are the best and everyone likes them , i was in need of a few markers so i thought i might as well try them out ,,, to be honest i can understand why people like them so much and why they are popular amongst teenagers .... first the best part about it is the price , its a lot more reasonably priced here than back home , although i think in the past few months it became cheaper backhome .the good :- the price is rigth- it feels good in your hand- im left handed and have no troubles with it .- the ink doesnt smell- the flow is constant and smooth- works on multiple surfaces , in cluding vans shoes that i tried to do artwork on , worked very well...the bad :- maybe the price ?- although the flow is great , some surfaces it makes a sound that i dislike and makes me feel uncomfortable , rubbing noise.in conclusion , great set to buy , sharpie has always been able to impress. and the colors are powerful and regardless of the background thhey seem to look good and rich instead of the cheaper markers that look horrible on unsmooth surfaces or different color surfaces , or after a few minutes , get sharpies if you want long lasting markers that are worth the extra money.This is how they come! Nice assortment. These have long been a staple of today's office supplies. This assortment is probably the most useful of all the colors. They come at a great price.Sharpies are fantastic, as everyone knows.However, this box of pens could use some help with labeling. Nowhere does it say how many pens of each color are included. You might assume there are 9 of each color (x4=36). But, for some reason, they decided green wasn't as important as the others. So you get 10 red, blue and black pens, but only 6 green!Why not 33 black, one red, one blue and one green? If you're going to be random, own it Sharpie.Great valueMy box was broken open, and had 3 markers missing. packing was an absolute jokeBest sharpie deal on the net. Super happy with them they got here in one day which was 3 days sooner than it said.
