Bulk Lot This is a set of 40 pieces as shown in image 1. New and unused. There is evidence that only two boxes have been opened, so I opened them and tried writing with them. It seems to be fine, as shown in image 20. This is just my subjective opinion, but the writing feels smooth, which is expected given the high retail price. Some of the plastic cases have dents. There is also some adhesive residue from large price tags that were removed. The opening has been taped with cellophane tape. I'm not sure what the original condition was, but if you were to say the plastic cases are dull, I would agree. I believe these are old, so I cannot guarantee that they will write. Please confirm before purchasing. They are priced accordingly. No price negotiations. No individual sales.
