If you are interested in buying markers at the price of a “Set” of markers there is hope. There are many sites that sell markers at less than $6.49 MSRP. A great place to do so (one of many and my personal fave) Ebay… look for a “You Pick” auction.  When bidding be sure to read what the action is for and generally (the way I do it) you are bidding on a few markers out of a big lot. When bidding like this the winner is sold the markers THEY want and saving money as they are sold in a lot.

It is a win win!

Save money, YOU PICK
