5lb Box Of Assorted Misprint Ink Pens Bulk Ballpoint Pens Retractable Metal Lot Wholesale

When I first got these pens I was over the moon about them and left a 5 star review here. Each one I took out of the box worked and I thought: "What a value!" However now some time has gone by and curiously as I attempt to use them somehow curiously the part pieces loosen and refuse to go back together properly. What that has to do with having the pens over time is above my pay grade--perhaps I had not tried enough of them when they arrived. I would rather have paid more and have a feeling of solidity that they all work. But lately if I pick up 5 I have to throw out 2 or 3. It is bothering me enough to leave another review.

I was really pleased to open this box and see all these pens. Most of them write in black ink. About three of them write in blue ink. I like the feel of all them. I'm really surprised at how much I like the white ones. I normally don't like pens with the stylus tip at the top. But they feel good in my hand.A friend at work bought these last year so I decided to give it a try. I read through the reviews first. One mentioned a sellers name. I made sure My Quick Buy was listed as the seller. They didn't disappoint. There were 120 pens.Today I was surprised to see another seller listing their price at 74.99. My advice. Wait it out. You never know when a better deal will pop up.Update:Finally My Quick Buy is listed as the seller. I bought another box. I am very happy with the box sent to me. There are 107 pens (second picture). The majority of them were stylus pens. What's even more satisfying, every single random stylus pen I chose to test wrote in blue ink. This made my day. Another plus, this batch had no company names printed on them. Whomever picked this batch, thank you. Once again My Quick Buy didn't disappoint. Great job.

Keep your expectations reasonable: when you get your box of pens, most, but possibly not all, of the pens will work. Some of them might not be pens at all. Some will have their misprint text crossed out or scratched off. Some are clearly demo models, and some are obviously remaindered/errors. Some may be discontinued models or designs. Some are metal, some are rubber-covered. All of the ones I've tried write in black ink, but there's no guarantee that this will always be the case. There's clearly a set of standard models available at pens.com (the source of the pens themselves); you may or may not end up, as I did, with a couple of different pen/screen stylus options, for example (some designs for this are better than others, but all work).Look, let's be honest -- it's a 5lb box of pens, nothing more, nothing less. At the price I paid, this is a stupendous value, even if a couple of the pens don't work (and even if some of them aren't pens at all -- I got a few weirdo pen-lights in the mix). Honestly, this has been a fun purchase for me. It's a grab bag (grab box, whatever) of random pens, and it feels like I've won a very silly prize every time I pull a new one out of the box. I go through a lot of pens at work and at home, so this is also a terrific money-saver.

This was exactly what I was hoping for and more...a large box of decent pens at an affordable price! I always buy the 10-pack of pens from Staples or other supply places, and they seem to disappear into thin air. I was getting ready to purchase more when I happened to notice this item. Almost as a joke, I ordered it, but I am so glad I did! Don't expect high end writing instruments in this assortment, but do expect a great assortment of smooth writing pens. I would say the many of them are the same approximate type of style (has the touch screen knobby on the end), but may have different color inks. There are a few other types thrown in as well. These are a step up or three from cheap hotel or trade show pens. If I had to quantify it in real life terms...if you have ever signed a credit card slip in a restaurant using the pen the server leaves you, and you pause for a second or two and contemplate stealing it because it wrote nice and smooth, then you get the idea. For the price, this is fabulous. If you have the type of house where you can't ever seem to keep a pen handy, buy this!

Smaller balls than I expected - read the description. The quality of just "ok". Good for practice, and works pretty well for tatting and fine crochet, but the sheen isn't there. I wouldn't use this for an important fiber arts piece, but they will be just fine for embroidery on blue jeans.
