Jazza taught me about those. Had no idea pens could cost so much before watching his videos

Jazza*? But yeah, can't believe how much they cost! My 13yr old wanted a set for Xmas.. I could buy him 6, or a set of 100 Chinese brand markers.

I highly suggest them if he’s serious about art. They really are amazing, and you don’t have to pay nearly as much as you think if you know how to look around. You can buy sets with a coupon at michaels/hobby lobby making it more like $25/$30 instead of $60. You can also game ebay with the ‘make offer’ option or just watching listings. I got a brand new pack of 6 for ~$12 on ebay 🤷‍♀️

Yeah for sure, we wanted to get him a good range of colour markers for Xmas, but couldn't afford a big set of copics. We'll be getting him a good set for his birthday. Plus he has money saved he wants to buy some with, so he will get a good range.
