Ok, I DID contact the seller (Elf Global Sales) and they sent me a prepaid label to return the markers I received in error.A few days later, I received the pens I had originally ordered:[ASIN:B002M1HNQ4 Sharpie Retractable Pens, Fine Point, Black, 12-Count]Sold by: Elf Global SalesBecause Elf Global Sales made it 'right' with me, I have added two stars to make my rating for this product & seller to 5*****.Thank you Elf Global Sales for your quick customer service.It is greatly appreciated, and I will buy from you again.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sharpie Retractable Pens, Fine Point, Black, 12-CountThe pen I ordered would have gotten a strong * * * * * if that was what I received.Please read on . . .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is the product I ORDERED :https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002M1HNQ4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is the product I RECEIVED:https://smile.amazon.com/Sharpie-Retractable-Permanent-Markers-Ultra/dp/B0017DBK0S/ref=pd_sim_229_6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0017DBK0S&pd_rd_r=6YE6Z5SNTQD710HKG9K4&pd_rd_w=JDAXl&pd_rd_wg=XOzZ9&psc=1&refRID=6YE6Z5SNTQD710HKG9K4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~They look & work similarly & write similarly & I'll have to see how long they last, BUT, I should have received the product that I ordered,and what was pictured by the seller; NOT A SUBSTITUTE (!) that the seller chose to send me, with no prior notice or permission to do so.This was my second order of these pens, ergo it was a RE-ORDER; so I was expecting the SAME pens.These are some of the bullet points of the pens I ordered, but did not receive:~ Durable fine-point tip produces thinner detailed lines on even hard-to-mark surfaces. Ideal for birthday cards,note taking, and thank-you notes.~ Quick-drying ink is waterproof, smear-proof and fade-resistant. Plus, it's specially formulated to be acid-freeand non-toxic.~ Soft grip along barrel for comfort. One-click retractable performance is efficient and means there's no cap tolose.~ Contains 12 pens.I fell in love with these pens and have been using these pens exclusively since receiving them the first time in February 2016.I'm a list maker and for me, they are my every day go-to-pen: appointments on the calendar, to-do lists, grocery lists, sudoku puzzles, freezer bags/bowls, notes, cards, anything & everything else pen.I absolutely LOVE my originally-ordered pens, and I feel they have lasted quite awhile, which I had wondered about.I still have 3 pens left from my first box of 12.I keep one in my office, several bags/purses I carry and next to several chairs in the house.That was the beauty of buying a box of 12.You DO need to click them closed when not in use.My first box cost $27.00 on PRIME & each pen was $2.25 eachThis order cost $17.89 + $6.98 = $24.87 & each pen was $2.07 each.Even with the cost of S&H, I thought it was a better deal.Not so much now!I don't know if I will contact the seller or not.If I do, I will update my review according to my level of satisfaction.

Found this Sharpie Stainless Steel Pen Grip Fine Point Black Ink Pen (1800702) when I came online to order refills for another Sharpie product. I'm glad that I took a second look and then took a chance ordering it, as this newer product offers some of the features that I've had to go elsewhere to find. In a short time, this one has become my favorite among their products. it has a very smooth and businesslike appearance, and is quite comfortable in the hand when you're using it.Likes:+ Brushed stainless steel body; very professional in appearance+ Fine point delivers clean and concise lines; permanent ink+ Ink doesn't bleed through paper; truly smear-resistant+ Rubberized soft grip; comfortable when writing+ Refillable; cartridges are available online here+ A true fine-tip pen and not a marker+ Excellent value for the priceDislikes:- Why are there no blue or red versions of this same stainless steel pen?Closer Look:I've owned a different, earlier version, for a few years now, the Sharpie Stainless Steel Fine Point Permanent Marker, and it's one that I reviewed. My main issue with that one was that as nice as it looked, it wasn't any more fine tip than one of the iconic Sharpie black permanent markers that we're all used to with their characteristic black caps and grey plastic barrels. The difference between the older one and this newer one is simple: the older version is a marker, and this newer one is a true fine-point pen.This newer pen has some other improvements over the older marker. Both ends are marked with a subtle black tip, which is useful if you have it in a briefcase, courier bag or (as in my case) a camera bag and you need to identify it by ink color quickly. The cap snaps on firmly when stowing it away to help prevent the ink from drying, and when in use it stows easily on the barrel. In addition, the Sharpie Stainless Steel Pen Grip Fine Point Pen Black Ink Refills are readily available here, which after scrounging around trying to find similar refills in the local office supply chain is a pleasant relief.Summary:This Sharpie Pen seems to combine that bold, smooth, expressive writing experience of a Sharpie permanent marker with the performance of a fine tip pen that doesn't bleed through paper. Its fine point delivers clean, concise lines that are both permanent and smear-resistant. The brushed stainless steel body has a solid, professional appearance, the overall feel is well balanced, and the soft grip adds to a very comfortable feel while writing. As this has become my new fine-point general purpose favorite, can comfortable say that it's worthy of a 5-star recommendation, especially for the price.7/24/2012

Solid pen. Durable, writes clean, no bleed or smudge. Its an every day carry for me.

Love these. Great value, nice design and flows easily. Lives up to the sharpie name (but this isn't a permanent marker)

I've been using Sharpie pens forever. You can't beat them for the price and durability. The only problem with this particular pen is it very hard to find a refill. I live in a very remote town and I can't even find a place that sells the pen much less the refill. But when I lived in Atlanta the same thing happened there. Lately when I have gone on the Amazon sight, Amazon has been out of the refills in black and sometimes even blue. Last time I tried to get a refill, I ended up having to buy another complete pen which I didn't need. But what was I to do? And another problem is, a refill cost more than the pen. A refill can cost as much as $11. when the pen retails on Amazon for around $8. Go figure. But who needs a drawer full of pens that you can't get a refill for? Amazon get with your Sharpie salesperson and ask them to fix this problem or they are going to lose some good customers. This is a big aggravation that can be fixed immediately!

Item broke within 2 days tip came almost dry and clip broke off in my pocket

Love it
