Whoohoo did I get a deal or what!
Yesterday I went to to our local art store and found copics (a set of 72 and a set of 36) both on clearance because the boxes were damaged. I paid $130 for both, it would have cost me over $600 for both of these. I probably wouldn't have gotten them if DH didn't talk me into it.

Sorry, can't do
They only have the small (I think set of 12) boxes in stock. The larger boxes are all special orders.

What a fantastic deal, and a wonderful Husband! Tell me, were you already using the Copic's or are these brand new for you? Either way they'll be just as much fun, was just wondering, cause it would be great to find a deal like that either way.

Wow! Congrats on your steal of a deal! Sooo lucky! And lucky to have a husband that encouraged you to buy it!! Darn, I wish we had art stores selling copics in my area.

That's awesome. I keep putting them into my cart, then cancelling my order. Can't bring myself to spend that much money (yet) on them.
