In staple stores, $.25 each, limit 3 per customer.

Great EDC item.

Awesome! I just looked and there is a Staples a stones throw away from me as well. I might have to cruise on over. I wish it was 4 per customer so I could get all the colors though.

I recently bought about a dozen of them (black ones) at Staples for $0.99 per, so that's a good price. Those things are extremely handy for EDC. I noted in another thread that they only sell the black ones individually at "back to school" time, so they are difficult to find the rest of the year. Thus the hoarding.

The thin sharpies are useful as all hell, I carry one all day at the store. It's perfect for marking cases, writing formulas on the lids of cans, etc.

Great find!

I too carry something similar to thin Sharpie, except it has two ends(ultra fine and fine), really useful whenever I need a pen or to mark anything.

I bought more than 3 and they didn't tell me anything. The whole bin was almost empty though.

Seen like the 3 per customer limit no longer apply, the deal ends on Nov 1st while supply last.

I loaded a bunch of them. As a engineer, they are perfect for redlining drawings.

I bought some cheap "sharpies" but I can report they aren't worth it unless you are primarily writing on paper or similar surfaces. The real sharpies work on damn near everything and stay put. The knock offs eventually fade or in some cases wash off.

I wrote on my cooler and its already gone just from condensation. Get the real thing and save some money by not having to rebuy after getting knock offs.
