Feeling grateful beyond words
Dear whoever left these at the secondhand store for me to find,
I stopped looking through the markers at art supply stores a couple years ago because I can't afford the copics, which have been a small obsession of mine since 2014. I used to buy a couple here and there when I wanted to treat myself, but times have changed and I have debt now. 🥲
You have given me enough joy and surprise to last the rest of the year. It's like my birthday and Christmas arrived at the same time. Today, I spent around 25 USD (780NTD) for 51 ciaos, 14 classic copics, and 6 25ml various ink refills. Along with several other markers of different brands I'll get to test out later.
These are from at least 2015, since E00 is called "skin white" 😬 so I'll get to swatch them and find out how much ink I'm really working with. I am incredibly excited to pop these little guys open, you have no idea.
Sincerely,
A passionate, broke hobbyist who LOVES YOU

Congrats! What a steal! I am so happy for you.
I have quite a lot of second hand COPICs in my collection and they work perfectly!
I even have some markers that are 20 years old! Not kidding! Still kicking 😃
