I'm a 70-year-old woman with arthritis in my hands. I love to paint but it has increasingly become difficult to use a paint brush. I discovered these markers a few years ago and I love them. They are truly a brush tip. The barrel is wide so it's easier for me to use especially when my hands are hurting. They've been very hard to find in the past few years and when I have found them they've been extremely expensive, more than they were originally. Thank you for having them in your inventory at a remarkable price. I should probably order more because I have a feeling they have been discontinued and I can only buy from stock that companies have left over. When that happens companies usually charge more, but you did not you charge less. Thank you. As far as the product goes, they're great. I only wish there were more varieties of colors.
