I have received no remuneration of any kind from the seller, or associates. No coupons, or promises of a refund, no free product for a review, or any other type or kind. I have no connection with the company whatsoever except as a purchaser. I am not connected by friendship, marriage or business with the seller or their associates. I paid for this product with my own money and I am giving my honest opinion about the product and the retailer.I really like Bic pens. I have been using BIc pens for a very long time. I like the the point on these pens. They give a dark line, and the round smooth barrel is comfortable to grip for long periods of time. I have developed a large dislike for gel pens. All the gel pens I have tried show though paper, and the ink takes much longer to dry, and for me at least, the ink has a tendency to smear.The ink in these pens flow nicely, the writing is smooth without catching on different types of paper, and I haven't had any trouble with skipping. But I keep my pens tip down in a jelly jar, LOL. Mason jars are too tall and wide for my desk. I have a small jelly jar that I washed out and it holds just the right number of pens and pencils. That way I don't have to worry about any type of ink skipping, and have to shake the ink down to get it to write reliably.These are long lasting pens. These pens last me three or four times longer than the gel pens. They don't leak, and the writing is dependable. The price is reasonable, and they come in several colors.So I'm giving 5 stars for; Function, value for money, nice width on the lines, black black ink, the comfort of the barrel when gripping, the length of time it can be used before it runs out of ink.

I grabbed a dozen of these because I needed some super-affordable fine-line pens for daily journaling and note-taking—and honestly, they've become way more useful than I expected.Fine, neat lines (0.8 mm tip)—great for dense notes, filling out forms, or detailed writing without smudges or blobs .

Great pens for a great price! They are easy to write with. The black is a normal black ink color and works great for signing legal documents.

I am author and I not only love the price for the quantity but I love the quality. Yes, they are an old school pen but they are durable and smooth to use. Their sharpness is like writing with a fine point without the ink skipping, even though they are a medium point. I can write for hours with these as the don't cause any discomfort. The black ink is functional without smears or leaks.

These BIC pens are the workhorses of the writing world—super affordable and usually ready to go right out of the box. Perfect for jotting down notes, scribbling shopping lists, or pretending to be productive. Most of them write smooth and steady, but a couple were dry duds right from the start (they’re just shy, I guess). Still, for the price, you really can’t beat the value. Keep a bunch handy and toss the quiet ones!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My favorite pen for twenty plus years. Best pen ever in my opinion.

These pens are great. The write smoothly with no blobs and they last a long time and they are economical.

Great value for black ink pens with a comfortable grip. Very functional. They actually last and do not become difficult to use. They come in two varieties. Blue and black.
